When the sister arrived at her penei:
brothers’ they asked her: “What
have you come for?” “I have
come for a mother-of-pearl fish-
hook for your brother-in-law.”
“That is right, that will get you
something to live on. Here is a
hook for the use of which we will
charge ten aku. Here is another
one for twenty aku,” etc. The
wife took one of the hooks and
returned. When she entered the
house and approached where
her husband was sleeping she
called out:

Wake up Nihooleki, E ala e Nihooleki,

answered his wife. “It is the one
the fish will not bite at.”
It will catch but two aku.

One for the female spirit.

become uselessly lame.

Where swarm the aku,
Where the giving would be a

When the worthless could have

When the hungry up at Waiahulu
could also have a share.
At this the wife again returned to
the brothers. “What is it you
want?” [they asked]. “My
husband says the fish-hook is no
good; it will catch but two aku
and one cannot at that rate give
any away willingly,” replied the
sister. The brothers again asked:
“Where is the fish-hook that
would induce the fish to bite

that it is the one hanging up at
the gable end of the house being
watched by the noio.” When they
made a search sure enough they
found a mother-of-pearl fish-
hook that was being watched by
the small black bird; it was
Pahuhu. The noio was the
supernatural bird sister of
Nihooleki.

Nihooleki.

Upon the arrival of the wife at

their house, the husband was
still asleep. She then called:
“Here is the mother-of-pearl fish-
hook.” “It is a Pahuhu,” Nihooleki
answered.

That is the mother-of-pearl fish- He pa ai ia,

hook that the fish want, Kuhi ka lima,

You can give with pleasure. Ai ka pehu o uka,
The worthless can share, O Waiahulu e.
The hungry can also have a

Up at Waiahulu.

The wife then threw the fish- Kiola iho la ka wahine i ka pa a

He then rose, kissed it and wept keia honi, a uwe iho la; o ke
over it. The reason why he wept kumu o keia uwe ana, o kona
was, because of his death he
was thus kept away from his one
great pleasure, fishing.
After the fish-hook was secured,
Nihooleki said to his wife: “Go
and get a canoe from your
brothers. Not the one of five
fathoms in length, nor the single
canoe, but get me the double
one that is ten fathoms in length.
After you have secured the
canoe, ask for twenty paddlers.”
When the wife arrived in the
presence of her brothers, they
asked her: “Here you are again,
what do you want?” She replied:
“I want a canoe.” “Yes, you shall
have one, take the one that is
five fathoms in length.” “That is
not the one he wants. He wants
a double canoe that is ten
fathoms in length.” “That cannot
be. There is no double canoe of
that size, nor would he be able to
make use of it.” The sister
replied: “He said there is such a
canoe. It is in the canoe shed.”
When a search was made they
found one.
When the canoe was secured
the twenty paddlers jumped

When Nihooleki saw the canoe
he knew at once it was the same
one that was owned by him
when he was alive. He then
asked his wife: “Are you a
favorite with your brothers?”
“Yes.” “Go and tell them that I
want twenty men to steady the
canoe with.” [494]
When the paddlers and canoe
were ready the canoe was taken
and left on the beach near the
landing thinking that at the fourth
crow of the cock they would
make their start, as was the
custom with the fishermen of
those days; but it was not to be
in this case. At the first crow of
the cock the men got to the
canoe; at the last crowing of the
cock they pushed the canoe out.
By this time all the other
fishermen were out at sea. The
men, however, still waited until
daylight. When it became light
enough to distinguish the
features of the men they went
back to the house feeling
indifferent.
In the meantime Nihooleki was

still in bed with his senses,
however, all alert. The wife
aroused him: “Wake up and
make a start; this is the coolest
time for the fishermen, when one
is not made lazy by the heat of
the sun.” He answered: “Wait
until it is light; at sunrise.”
Nihooleki then arose, got the
bailing cup, reached for the
calabash in which were kept all
the fishing utensils, affixed his
malo, then went out to the canoe
and with one hand pushed it out
into the sea. The paddlers then
came down and jumped aboard.
As soon as they got under way
Nihooleki took out the fish-hook
and began fishing. The aku
came in such large numbers that
in no time the canoe was loaded.
They took this catch and threw it
ashore. They went out and got a
second canoe load and again it
was thrown ashore. This was
kept up until six canoe loads had
been landed. By this time a large
mound of fish had been piled up.
The wife proceeded to give
away, feed the pigs, give some
to the loafers, sell some, and salt
some, but a large number were
still left over, there being so

many. The people from the
uplands came down with food,
sugar-cane, bananas and
everything else good to eat and
all went home with fish, even
those that came down without
anything went home with their
share. Those who were still in
the uplands when they heard of
the fish came down and returned
with their share.
Nihooleki and his men then went
out to mid-ocean along where
his brothers-in-law were fishing,
sailing right along by them.
When his brothers-in-law saw his
well-formed body they called out,
“Puipuiakalawaia,” 4 making this
his third name. Upon their arrival
at Makaena, off Waianae, the
men looked up and saw that they
had reached the island of Oahu.
Nihooleki again fished until the
canoe was filled with aku. He
then ordered his men to eat.
After their meal when every one
was satisfied the remaining fish
were thrown out until the canoe
was bare, when they set off until
they landed at Kaunolu, in Lanai,
where they again caught some
fish and eat till satisfied. Again

they set sail until they reached
Keauhou, at Kona, Hawaii, when
Nihooleki told his men: “You may
all go ashore here while I remain
with our canoe. When you go
ashore, take each of you one
aku apiece. There are twenty of
you, making twenty aku. When
you get to that shed of coconut
leaves in front of that house,
where women are seated, throw
down the fish, but don’t look
back.” The men then went
ashore while Nihooleki turned
the canoe around. On the return
of the men they immediately set
sail for Kauai, and the same day
reached the Kauai waters where
the brothers-in-law were fishing.
Nihooleki produced the hook and
again the aku came tumbling into
the canoe until it was sunk deep
in the water with fish. When the
brothers-in-law looked up they
saw the canoe and the fish; the
canoe was so full that the men
had to stand up. Upon their
return to shore Nihooleki took up
two aku for the male and female
spirits, [496]took a bath and went
home, and told his wife: “Go to
the paddlers and give them that
canoe load of fish.” He then went

in and laid down. The fish from
the first catch were beginning to
get spoiled.
This was kept up for many days
and everybody had fish. One day
the news about the great
catches was carried to
Kamapuaa in the uplands of
Waiohulu. Kamapuaa upon
hearing the great catches said: “I
could get some of that fish if I
can only get down to the coast.”
Kamapuaa was the friend of
Nihooleki; he was afflicted with
the dropsy and was not able to
walk; therefore some people
carried him down to the beach;
but being very heavy the men
could only carry him a little ways
at a time. By constant begging
he however managed to get to
the seashore. Before Nihooleki
set out on a certain day to fish
he gave his wife the following
instruction: “In case a man with
the dropsy should come, call him
in as he is my friend.”
After Nihooleki had started,
Kamapuaa arrived and came
and looked in at the door. “You
filthy man, begone,” said the wife
Hoi aku la no keia moe. O ka ia

A hala aku o Nihooleki i ka

of Nihooleki. Kamapuaa with the
men that carried him down, went
over to the hog pen and there
waited for the return of Nihooleki
his friend. When Nihooleki
returned with the fish, he came
and kissed his friend, and then
turned to his wife and said: “You
are indeed strange. I told you to
take good care of my friend, but
you have not done so. Never
mind, you may stay, but I am
going along with my friend.” He
then told his friend to give some
of the fish to the men who
brought him down. The men took
all they could carry away, but still
many fish were left.
When Nihooleki and Kamapuaa
were ready to leave Waimea and
the wife, Nihooleki addressed his
wife saying: “When you give birth
to the child within you, call him
by my name, Keahaikiaholeha.
Here are the tokens by which I
shall know him should he search
for me, my club and my feather
cape.” 5 When the wife heard
these instructions she wept: by
these words the wife knew that
this was her own husband,
Keahaikiaholeha. When the

heard that this was the king, they
came chasing after him. He and
his friend then dove into the sea
and swam under water until they
came up at Kuukuua, at
Waianae. One of the Kauai
chiefs, however, came following
behind them named
Pohakuokauai, the same being
that rock which is seen at
Waianae even to this day. As
they drew near to the house
where the parents and sister of
Nihooleki were living and near to
the tomb where his dead body
was laid, Nihooleki then turned
to his friend and said: “Where
are you? When you reach our
parents ask them: ‘Where is my
companion that came along with
me?’ They will then give you an
answer. Then ask them where
certain things that belonged to
me are. Proceed and take up the
threshold where you will find my
war helmet; under the place
where our sister sleeps you will
find a feather cape; at the foot of
her sleeping place you will find

in the house is a kahili. Take our

At the close of his friend’s

instructions, Kamapuaa
continued on his way until he
came in the presence of his
friend’s parents and sister. After
proving himself a friend of
Nihooleki’s by producing the
different articles in obedience to
the instructions given him by his
friend he was married to the
sister of Nihooleki.
Keahaikiaholeha, who was
Nihooleki, entered the tomb and
disappeared. Thus ends this
story. [489]

Legend of
Kepakailiula.
CHAPTER I.
Kepakailiula 1 was born in Keaau,
Puna, Hawaii, in the form
originally of a chicken egg. His
father was Ku and his mother
was Hina. 2 Kuaikalolo and
Aiakoake were the elders 3 of
Kepakailiula. Kiinoho and
Kiihele 4 were the brothers of
Hina. All Kiinoho did was to sit in
one place and very seldom
moved around; he was, however,
a very great fortune teller and
could predict coming events that
happen in the very near future as
Kaao no Kepakailiula.

Kiihele did was to travel. He was
a great runner and could make
the circuit of Hawaii in one day,
starting from home in the
morning and arriving home
before sunset of the same day.
These people were chiefs of the
district of Puna, of very high
rank, as were their ancestors
before them.
One night Kiinoho had a dream,
wherein he was instructed by a
spirit as follows: “You two must
go to Paliuli and live there, you
and Kiihele; you will find all your
needs supplied without fatigue.”
Kiinoho dreamed the same thing
for three nights before he spoke
of it to Kiihele. Kiihele was,
however, very indifferent about
the matter and did not believe in
what Kiinoho told him. Shortly
after this they both had the same
dream repeated to them. At
daylight they talked the matter
over and decided that they must
accept the invitation and go and
live in Paliuli. They then made
their preparations and procured
certain things by the lau (four
hundred), such as hogs, awa,

That night they retired early and
at the second crowing of the
cock in the early dawn, while it
was still dark, they got up and
started for Paliuli without the
knowledge of their sister or
people.
It is said in this story that this
was the first time that Paliuli was
found by man, through the
direction of the gods. Afterwards
it was again taken away from
man by the gods and it has been
hidden ever since.
Upon their arrival at Paliuli, 5 they
looked and saw that it was a
very good land, flat, fertile and
well filled with many things
desired by man; the ohias were
as large as breadfruit; they saw
a fish pond within the land
stocked with all kinds of fish of
the sea with the exception of the
whale and the shark, so they
made their home there. They
began to cultivate the soil, raised
different animals until the place
was filled with everything
imaginable. The sugar-cane
grew until it fell over and rose

again, 6 the bananas fell
scattering, 7 the hogs grew until
the tusks were long; the
chickens until their spurs were
long and sharp; and the dogs
until their backs were broadened
out.
One day Kiihele said to Kiinoho:
“How queer of us to care for all
these things! Who is going to eat
them?” Kiinoho replied: “Our son
Kepakailiula. Let us go and
[500]bring him here.” They then
proceeded from Paliuli and went
down to Keaau, where their
sister Hina was living.
Before these two went to Paliuli,
however, Hina showed signs of
being with child. Upon their
return she was almost ready to
be confined. After greetings were
exchanged and their weeping
ended, Hina rose and went out
to relieve herself. As Hina rose
to go out, Kiinoho requested
Kiihele to go out, saying: “Go out
and get the child.” Kiihele asked:
“Where is it?” “At the place
where Hina is sitting.” When
Kiihele came to the place he saw
an egg lying on the ground. He

took it up and wrapped it in a
feather cape; and they returned
to Paliuli, where Kiinoho
exercised all his powers and at
the expiration of ten days and
nights 8 he unwrapped the
feather cape and saw the egg
had formed into a beautiful child;
after inspecting it they concluded
there was none like him. The
child was again wrapped up in
the feather cape and left for a
period of forty nights before they
again looked at it. When they did
they saw that the child had
grown more beautiful; no
pimples, no deformities, straight
back, open face; 9 its skin and
eyes were as red as the feather
cape which enwrapped him.
Thus did Kepakailiula become
the fire that lighted up Paliuli by
day and by night, whose only
equal was Pele of Kilauea. Pele
gave light from the crater of
Kilauea, while Kepakailiula gave
light from Paliuli, giving Puna
and Hilo two red objects to view
by day and by night. Kepakailiula
was therefore called “The first-
born of the beloved one 10 of
Paliuli.” Kepakailiula would not
touch either ordinary food or

meat; all he eat was bananas,
one bunch for each meal.
As Kiinoho and Kiihele were one
day looking at the child they saw
that he had now come to that
age when the company of a
woman would be acceptable,
one of them then said: “You are
indeed good to look upon, but
there is one thing lacking, you
have no wife.” Kiinoho then said
to Kiihele: “You must go in
search of a wife for our son.” 11
Kiihele consented to this and
started off going by way of Hilo
until he came to a woman by the
name of Kukuilauania. He looked
her over and admired her
beauty; yes, she was indeed
good looking, but she had one
fault, her eyes bulged out like the
nut of the kukui. He therefore
gave up Kukuilauania and
continued his search, passing
from Hilo into Hamakua. Failing
to find one to his liking, he
passed on into Kohala where he
was still unable to find a woman.
After looking over the dark rocks
of Kaniku he decided to return.
Upon his arrival at Paliuli,
Kiinoho asked him: “How was

your journey?” Kiihele replied: “I
have found no wife.” On this
same day, he [again left Paliuli
and] continued his search into
Puna, until he met a woman by
the name of Kahala. She was
very beautiful, except that her
posterior resembled the
pandanus fruit of the present
day, so he passed on into Kau
where he found Manienie. She
too was very beautiful, but her
lips were deformed so he
discarded her and continued his
search, Kiihele left Kau and
passed into Kona where he
found Makolea, a woman who
was as faultless 12 as the full
moon. Kahaluu was her father
and Keauhou was her mother.
Makolea, however, had been
pledged to marry Kakaalaneo
the king of Maui, for Makolea
was a princess, her parents
being the king and queen of
Kona. [502]When it was reported
that Kakaalaneo was so expert a
spearsman, that he could hit a
blade of grass, an ant, or a flea,
at one throw of the spear, the
parents became afraid and gave
Makolea to Kakaalaneo.

Kiihele approached the house in
which Makolea was living and
stood by the door and saluted
the two people within, which
salutation was returned by
Makolea and her attendant. At
the sight of Kiihele, Makolea and
her attendant were much
impressed with his manliness
and beauty, being much superior
to that of the people of Kona; so
they were over anxious to please
him and his call was made very
pleasant. The two then invited
Kiihele to enter, which invitation
was accepted and Kiihele
entered and sat down by the
door. Makolea then asked him:
“Where are you from?” Kiihele
answered: “I came along the
road.” “What is the object of this
unannounced visit?” “I am in
search of a wife.” “For yourself?”
asked Makolea. “For our son,”
answered Kiihele. “Is he as
handsome as yourself?”
continued Makolea. “No, I am
but as the skin on his feet.” 13
When the princess heard the
answers made by Kiihele, she
became excited and wanted to
meet the young man right away;
so she told Kiihele: “Go and
