Upon their arrival home, they went to their mothers with the dead boy’s hands, and with their hair cut in the shape of a war helmet to show their grief [118] for Kila. When they saw their mothers they fell down before them weeping and wailing. By the language used in their wailing, Hooipoikamalanai made out that their brother either was dead, or they were wailing for their father. So in order to be sure Hooipoikamalanai and her sister asked them: “Which one of you is it that has been injured?” The sons replied: “Kila has been eaten up by a shark. Upon arriving at the place where our father’s bones were laid, we prepared them, took them on to the canoe and we started on our return. When we reached the steep cliffs, where one has to swim to get around them, our canoe got turned over and Kila was attacked by a shark and all we could save of him were his hands which you now see.” When the mothers heard this account of the death of Kila, Hoopoikamalanai and her sister Hinauu wailed and expressed a desire to take their own lives, their grief for their son was so great. Hooipoikamalanai and her sister then inquired of their sons: “Where, then, are the bones of your father?” The sons replied: “We lost them in the ocean. When our canoe was overturned we all went to the rescue of Kila, and therefore the bones of our father were neglected and they disappeared.” After this Hinauu and her sister traveled around Kauai mourning for Kila, in which the common people also joined with them. CHAPTER V. HOW KILA WAS LEFT AT WAIPIO AND HIS LIFE THERE. When Kila and his brothers arrived at Waipio, Hawaii, and his brothers saw that he was fast asleep, Umalehu ordered his younger brothers Kaialea, Kekaihawewe and Luakapalala, to launch the canoe. This order the younger brothers obeyed. After the canoe was launched the paddlers jumped aboard, first followed by the young chiefs. While this was going on Kila heard the bumping of the canoe, so he sat up and saw that the canoe was floating in the sea. Believing that his brothers would come for him later on, he did not watch them very closely. But when he looked again he saw that the canoe was outside of the line of breakers. He then called out to them: “How about me? How about me?” Umalehu then answered back: “Wait awhile until we come back for you.” But he saw that they were to disappear beyond the point of the cliff of Maluo, and a few moments later they disappeared altogether. Kila therefore remained on the sand of Waipio. Kila was spared through the intervention of Kaialea, Kekaihawewe and Laukapalala, who also insisted that he be left at Waipio, as it was Umalehu’s intention to kill him while they were on mid-ocean; but Kaialea and Laukapalala prevailed on their brother to take Kila to Waipio and leave him there.
