After imparting these words of advice, Moikeha picked out the men who were to accompany Kila on this voyage. Kamahualele was selected as his companion, he being Moikeha’s foster-son. Kapahi and Moanaikaiaiwa, were selected as the paddlers. Kipunuiaiakamau and his companion were selected as the navigators and sailing masters. In case the canoe was likely to run aground, Kamahualele would call out: “Kipunuiaiakamau, hold on!” Then he and his companion would back water and the canoe would go backwards. This is the reason why these two men were named Kipunuiaiakamau. Kaukaukamunolea and his companion, two of them, were selected as pilots. These were the men that were selected to accompany Kila on his voyage to Tahiti. When he was about ready to set sail, some of the Kauai people expressed their desire to accompany him on his voyage, Hooholoku and his companion. And upon the expressed wish of Kamahualele he was permitted to take Kuaiwilu and Kauineno, making about nine in this company together with the chief, making it ten all told. When the men who were to accompany Kila were ready, Moikeha took the priests who were versed in the study of the heavens and ordered them to see if the chief’s journey would be undertaken in safety. After studying the heavens, the priests announced that the chief could take the journey in safety. But not wishing to take any risk, Wanahili, one of the priests, was selected to accompany him, thus making eleven in the company all told. In the dawn of the day advised by the priests as the proper time to undertake the voyage, just as the star Sirius was rising, Kila set sail for Oahu. Upon arriving off the shore of the place directed by his father as the place where his aunts were living he laid to in his canoe and called out: “My greetings to you, Makapuu and Makaaoa.” Makapuu and Makaaoa. “Who are you?” “I am Kila of the uplands, Kila of the lowlands, Kila-pa-Wahineikamalanai. I am the offspring of Moikeha.” Makapuu and Makaaoa. “Is Moikeha then still living?” “He is still living.” Makapuu and sister. “What is he doing?” “He is dwelling in ease in Kauai where the sun rises and sets; where the surf of Makaiwa curves and bends; where the kukui blossoms of Puna change; where the waters of Wailua stretch out. He will live and die in Kauai.” Makapuu and sister. “What journey is this that brings the chief to us?” “It is a journey in search of a chief.” Makapuu and sister. “In search of what chief?” “Of Laamaikahiki.” After this, they left Oahu and sailed for Kalaau Point where Moikeha’s friend Kakakauhanui was living. Kila again called out as he did to his aunts. This calling was kept up until all the people left by Moikeha from Oahu to Hawaii had been heard from, when they proceeded on their way to Tahiti.
