When Kila heard that a canoe had arrived from Kauai, he sent some of his men to bring them to him; this was done. As soon as they came into his presence they were asked: “Where did you come from?” They replied: “We have come from Kauai.” “What is the object of your voyage here?” asked Kila. They replied: “We have come in search of our chief, Kaialea. His mother and aunt have waited for a long time for his return, and because he has overstayed the time allowed him to come, we were ordered to come and look for him. Upon our arrival here we were told that he is dead, so we are going home and tell his people that the chief is dead.” In order to make sure of this, Kila ordered his officers to arrest the men and take them to the temple of Pakaalana. So they were taken by the officers as real prisoners and were placed in confinement in the same place where Kaialea was being kept. While this was being done, there was one man left, the man in charge of the canoe. When he heard what had happened to his companions, and that they had been carried off to be killed in the temple of Pakaalana, he hid himself in the house where they were being entertained. A short time after this he met Kaialea’s men and they decided to return secretly to Kauai. When they were ready to leave, Kaialea’s paddlers told the people who had befriended them about their going home to Kauai. Their friends, who really thought a great deal of them, asked them: “Why should you people go home?” The Kauai people answered: “We cannot stay. If we remain here we would be killed, for the king does not think kindly of us.” Their friends knew that that what they had said was quite true, so they gave their consent, being afraid of the troubles that might follow. On this same day the Waipio people pulled up some taro and loaded them uncooked onto the canoe that night, and the Kauai people set out on their return journey. CHAPTER VII. OF THE MEETING BETWEEN KAIALEA AND THE MEN THAT WERE SENT OUT BY HIS MOTHER, HOOIPOIKAMALANAI. When the men who came in search of Kaialea were being taken to be placed in confinement, in the same place where he was being held, they began to have all kinds of speculation as to their probable fate. Upon arriving at the temple they were placed at a little distance from Kaialea. When he saw them his eyes were filled with tears, while he tried to control his feelings.
