ʻO ka hele akula nō ia o ka ʻelele a haʻi akula i ke aliʻi kamaʻāina. ʻO ka pīhoihoi maila nō ko ia ala a kēnā maila i kēlā ʻelele nāna i haʻi aku iā ia e kiʻi i nā malihini. A hiki maila ka ʻelele, “I kēnā ʻia mai nei au iā ʻoukou e kipa ʻoukou i kahi o ke kamaʻāina.” ʻO ka ʻae akula nō ia o ka ʻōpio a kākou. ʻO ka holo akula nō ia a hoʻokipa akula ke kamaʻāina iā lākou nei i loko. A na ua wahi ʻōpio nei nō a kākou ka hōʻike pākahi ʻana iā lākou a pau, a hāʻawi maila ke kamaʻāina i kona aloha iā lākou.
A kuʻu ihola ka nae o ka malihini, hoʻolale aʻela ke aliʻi kamaʻāina e ʻai lākou nei, ʻo ka ʻai ihola nō ia. A pau ka ʻai ʻana, luana lākou nei a kūkā no ka huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi. I ia manawa i pane mai ai ke kamaʻāina, “Makemake wale kā hoʻi ka hele pū ʻana me ʻoukou i ka mākaʻikaʻi.” ʻO ka ʻae like akula nō ko nā malihini, “E hele pū kākou.” “A hea kā ʻoukou huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi pale mai?” “A Kūkuluokahiki pale mai,” wahi a ka malihini. Pane mai ke kamaʻāina, “ ʻO wai ke kamaʻāina e hele ai a Kūkuluokahiki?” Haʻi maila kahi ʻōpio a kākou, “ ʻO Kua ke kamaʻāina o ia alanui. ʻO kona wai ʻauʻau ka muliwai ʻo Muliwaiʻōlena i ka peʻa kapu o Nuʻumealani.” ʻAkahi nō a lohe kēlā mau aliʻi he kamaʻāina ʻo Kua no Kahiki. I ia manawa i pane mai ai ʻo Kua, “He ʻoiaʻiʻo ia ʻōlelo a Kaʻehuikimanōopuʻuloa, i pane maila. ʻO koʻu ʻāina hānau ʻo Kahiki, a mai laila mai nei au o koʻu hiki ʻana a noho iā Hawaiʻi nei, a ke manaʻo mai nei paha ʻoukou he kamaʻāina au no kēia paeʻāina.” ʻAe maila nā aliʻi ʻē aʻe o lākou.
Moe lākou a kakahiaka aʻe, ʻo ka mākaukau ihola nō ia o ka pāʻina a haele nui lākou nei. A hiki lākou nei i waenakonu o ka moana ʻo ʻAlenuihāhā, ua kū papa nā manō a pau mai luna mai o Kapueokahi i Hāna a hiki i ka mole o Kahoʻolawe ma Kealaikahiki. ʻO ko lākou nei hālāwai akula nō ia me ka pūkaua ʻo Kaiʻanuilālāwalu, ke kaikaina o Kauhuhū. I ia wā, pane mai ua pūkaua nei, “E hele ana kā ʻoukou huakaʻi i hea, e nā Aliʻi o Hawaiʻi?” Pane akula ʻo Kaʻehuikimanōopuʻuloa, “E hele ana i ka mākaʻikaʻi ma kēia mau ʻāina aku a hiki i Kūkuluokahiki. Pane maila ka pūkaua nui o ka moana, “ ʻAʻohe alanui e hele ai; ua paʻa. ʻO ka hoʻi aku ko ʻoukou pakele. Ua kauoha paʻa ʻia mai au e koʻu Haku, e kiaʻi i ka moana nei. ʻAʻohe huakaʻi e komo mai ma kēia ʻaoʻao o Maui nei. He kapu loa. E nānā aʻe ʻoukou lā, ua paʻa ka moana nei i nā koa mai luna mai o Kapueokahi i Hāna a hiki i ka mole o Kealaikahiki i Kahoʻolawe. “Hoʻopaʻa mai nō ʻoukou; ʻo ke kaua ka hope.”
ʻĪ aku kahi ʻōpio a kākou i ka pūkaua, “Ua pono ia ʻōlelo āu inā he huakaʻi kaua kā mākou i hele mai nei. E like me kuʻu ʻōlelo mua aku nei iā ʻoe, he huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi kā mākou.” Pane maila ka pūkaua me ka leo huhū, “He lohe ʻole nō anei ʻoe! ʻAʻole e ʻae ʻia nā mea a pau loa e komo mai ma loko o nā palena o Maui nei; he kapu loa! Hoʻopaʻa mai nō, ʻo ke kaua ka hope, i lohe mai ʻoukou, e nā Aliʻi o Hawaiʻi!” I ia wā i huli aʻe ai kēia a kāhea aku i nā hoahele aliʻi ona, “E Kepanilā, ke aliʻi o Hilo; e Kāneilehia, ke aliʻi o Kaʻū; e Kua, ke aliʻi o Kona; e Manokini, ke aliʻi o Kohala; a me Kapulena, ke aliʻi o Kohala; ke haʻi aku nei au iā ʻoukou, ʻaʻohe alanui o kākou e hiki ai; aia ma loko o ka ikaika a me ke koa e hiki ai.

Ua pau loa ka naʻau i ka ʻuʻu ʻia i waho a lana ke kino make o Kaiʻanuilālāwalu i luna o ka ʻili o ke kai. ʻO ka ʻauheʻe akula nō ia o nā manō a pau i mua o ia nei.

I ia wā, pane ua wahi kamaʻeu iki nei i nā hoahele aliʻi ona, “E hai mai ʻoukou i ka heana a kākou, e oʻu mau Haku.” Pane maila ʻo Kepanilā, “ ʻO ko mākou manaʻo a pau, nāu nō e hai ka heana i make maila iā ʻoe.” “ ʻAʻole pēlā mai ka pō mai; ʻo ka make kā ka pūkaua, he ʻokoʻa ka mea nāna ia hana ʻo ka hai i ke kanaka,” wahi a ka ʻōpio. “Mai haʻalele mai ʻoukou.” Wahi a nā hoahele, “ ʻO ka noho aliʻi wale nō kā mākou, ʻaʻole mākou i ʻike i ke ʻano o ia mau hana a pau loa.

Ke nānā maila nā aliʻi i ko ia nei mākaukau a me ke koa launa ʻole nō hoʻi.

He mōhai, he ʻālana i nā akua,

I ka wā a ia nei e pule ana, ua mālie loa ka moana, ʻaʻole makani, ʻaʻole he ʻale nui, he laʻi wale nō. He lana mālie mai nō hoʻi kā nā aliʻi o Hawaiʻi me ka ʻeʻehia no kā ia nei hana o ia manawa me ka loʻu aku loʻu mai i kahi kamaʻeu ʻōpio koa, a he ʻano kahuna nui no nā heiau haikanaka, maʻalea a piha i ke akamai ma ka hoʻolohe aku a nā hoahele.
I ia wā, kāhea akula kēia i nā aliʻi e lana mai ana. ʻO ko lākou hele maila nō ia a nīnau ana iā Honuiki, i ke kiaʻi o ka lua o Kauhuhū, ka manō aliʻi o Kīpahulu i Maui. Ua hala naʻe ua manō nei ma Koʻolau, a hoʻi mai ana. E noho ana lākou nei i loko o ka lua, haki ana ka nalu mua, ʻōlelo maila ʻo Honuiki ke kiaʻi o ka lua iā lākou, “Eia aʻe ua aliʻi huhū nei.

A pane maila ua Kauhuhū nei, “ ʻĒ!

I ia wā, pane maila ua kamaʻeu ʻōpio nei a kākou, “He lohi wale nō ia, e ke kamaʻāina, he kanaka huhū a kūmaka ka ʻike i kēia lā. No ka ʻino nō o kou inoa ʻo Kauhuhū, he huhū ke ʻano, ʻaʻole paha ʻo ʻoe ka Haku nāna e pōʻalo nā maka, i lohe ko poʻo, e na kanaka ʻōlelo ʻino.

I ia wā, kāhea aʻela kēia i nā aliʻi hoahele o ia nei, “ ʻAuhea ʻoukou; e kaua aʻe au i kēia wā me ke kamaʻāina nona kēia wahi a kākou e lohe pū aʻela i nā ʻōlelo aloha ʻole.

ʻO ko ia nei ʻōʻili aʻela nō ia i waho. E wehe aʻe ana kēlā i ke ā luna me ke ā lalo e nahu mai iā ia nei, e komo kino ʻōhua like aku ana kēia, noho ana i loko o ka ʻōpū. E nahu aku ana kēia iā loko a pau ka naʻau i ka ʻuʻu ʻia e ia nei.
Puka kēia ma hope, noho ana i waho me nā ukana o loko a pau o ua manō huhū nei. ʻO ka lana aʻela nō ia o ke kino make o ua aliʻi kamaʻāina nei i luna o ka ʻili kai. Kū ana ua koa wiwo ʻole nei i mua o nā hoahele aliʻi ona me ka naʻau, ka ʻōpū, ke ake, a ʻike maila lākou ua make ka hoapaio iā ia nei, kau ka weli me ka makaʻu iā lākou lā. Pane akula kēia i nā aliʻi, “Eia ke kino o ka heana a kākou, na ʻoukou e hai mai.” I ia wā, pane maila ʻo Kāneilehia, ke aliʻi o Kaʻū, “Nāu nō e hana ia mea, na ka mea o kākou i ʻike, na lākou lā ka pane mai.” ʻO ko ia nei hai akula nō ia, a pau ia hana nui weliweli, luana lākou nei.
A pau, hoʻolale aʻela ka pāʻina, a pau ka ʻai ʻana, kauoha aʻela kēia iā Honuiki, i ke kiaʻi o ka lua o ua aliʻi nei i make, “ ʻO ʻoe nō ke Aliʻi a me ke kiaʻi o kēia wahi a hoʻi mai mākou mai ka huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi mai.

Moe lākou nei a ao aʻe, ʻo ka mākaukau ihola nō ia o ka pāʻina. A pau ia, ʻo ko lākou nei holo pololei akula nō ia a hiki ana i Kahoʻolawe, kahi hoʻi o ke akua o ka moana, ʻo Kamohoaliʻi ka inoa. Hālāwai akula lākou nei me ke kiaʻi o waho mai, nīnau akula lākou nei, “E noho ana nō anei ka ʻelemakule i kona wahi?”
“ ʻAe,” wahi a ke kiaʻi. ʻŌlelo akula ʻo Kaʻehuikimanōopuʻuloa i ke kiaʻi, “E hele ʻoe a haʻi aku i kuʻu Haku Akua, eia au ʻo Kaʻehuikimanōopuʻuloa, ʻo ke keiki a Kapukapu mā lāua ʻo Hōlei. ʻO kiaʻi pali au o Pānau i Puna, a me nā aliʻi a pau o Hawaiʻi, nā kauā lepo āna i kipa maila e ʻike iā ia.
