Upon hearing these questions put to him by Kila’s friend, Kaialea did not wish to speak of the deed committed by them, for he knew very well of the consequences of such deeds if known, so he denied having any knowledge of the thing, saying: “We have not been to this place before; this is the first time I have seen Waipio.” Because of this answer Kila came out with the question: “Who are your parents?” Again Kaialea resorted to falsehood and did not give the right names of his parents, for he knew by the questions put to him that if he told the truth he would be killed. When Kila heard Kaialea give other than the true names to his parents he gave his officers the following orders: “Keep this man in confinement until tomorrow, then put him on the altar and sacrifice him. This is the very man that killed Kila and left their brother in mid-ocean. Don’t bind him with ropes, however, but let him have free access to the house until such time when I shall give further orders as to his death, when he shall indeed die.” In accordance with the king’s orders, Kaialea was taken to the kapu house and there placed in confinement, receiving good treatment and being supplied with all the food he wanted. But with all this good treatment he was not able to eat any of the food placed before him, being overcome with grief at the idea of his being put to death. It was not Kila’s wish, however, to sacrifice him, but rather to make Kaialea realize the gravity of the evil deed which they had committed against their own brother. On the next day, the day when he was to be sacrificed, early that morning, while the prayers were being said, the note of a mud-hen was heard, when the priests all remarked: “Something is wrong; the man is saved, because something has happened to interrupt our recital of the prayer. It is too bad; we were almost at the end when everything would have been well.” During the morning the priests proceeded to inform the king of the interruption in the recital of their prayer, when Kila replied: “If the recital of your prayer has been interrupted, then the man must live; he shall not die today.” He then sent for his executioner and said: “Don’t put this man on the altar, but take him and place him in one of the other houses and take good care of him until such other time when I shall issue further orders as to his death.” So Kaialea was taken to one of the other outhouses of the king. But he did not give up the idea of being killed, because he had heard that he was to be sacrificed some day.
