When the mothers, Hooipoikamalanai and Hinauu, saw the boys preparing the double canoe, they approached them and asked them: “What journey is this that you are going to undertake with the canoe you are preparing?” The boys replied: “We are going after the bones of our father and bring them here, for Kila to remove them later on to Tahiti.” The mothers again asked: “How many of you are going?” The boys replied: “All of us, including our brother.” When Hooipoikamalanai and Hinauu heard these remarks they replied: “If you are going with your brother, then we too will accompany you.” The boys remarked: “Why should you two go, to take up that much room of the canoe? Do you think we would not be able to bring the bones by ourselves?” The mothers replied: “We are not going to allow your brother to accompany you, for we know you do not respect him and you do not treat him as you should. We are not sure that you will take good care of him.” When the boys heard their mothers make these remarks they were afraid lest their scheme would fall through, so they swore in the name of their god that no harm would come to the king. When Hooipoikamalanai and her sister saw that the boys had sworn to take good care of the king, they allowed him to accompany his brothers. Very early in the morning, after everything was made ready, the brothers took Kila and set sail for Oahu. The winds from Kauai during the night being very favorable, they soon were in sight of Molokai. Kila all this time was on the covered platform. As the paddlers were robust and strong they soon arrived off the coast of Kauwiki, at Hana; about midnight they arrived at Waipio, Hawaii. Immediately upon their arrival, while Kila was still asleep, they took him off the canoe and left him on the beach at Waipio, he in the meantime not knowing his brothers’ actions. The brothers then proceeded to kidnap a young man from Waipio whose skin was similar to Kila’s and returned to Kauai. When they reached Puuloa on their way home, Umalehu, Moikeha’s eldest son slew the boy they had brought from Waipio, then cut off his hands and took them to their mothers for the purpose of showing them all that was left of Kila, with the report that he had been eaten by a shark.
