When the king’s officers saw him weep they went and told Kila of what they had seen; so he came to the place where Kaialea was confined and proceeded to question him: “Are you weeping?” Kaialea replied: “Yes.” Kila again asked him: What are you weeping for?” Kaialea replied: “I am weeping because I saw the people from my home.” Kila then went over to where the others were being confined and after a while he came back to Kaialea, without having spoken to the others, and again asked Kaialea: “Are you not Moikeha’s son?” Kaialea replied: “No, I am not his son. He is a chief and I am a common man.” Kila then remarked: “You shall not be released from this place until you tell me who your parents are. When you have done that, I will then allow you to return to your home. If you tell me the truth to all the questions that I shall put to you, you shall be released this very day.” When Kaialea saw that a chance was given him to get out of his difficulties, he then told the truth. In the course of Kila’s questions, he asked him: “How many are there of you from your parents?” Kaialea replied: “There are three of us by Hooipoikamalanai and Moikeha. There is one older than myself, my mother’s first-born, then myself and the one following me, Kila by name, making three by the same mother. Our father and our mother’s younger sister have two, Kekaihawewe the first-born, and Laukapalala the younger, making five of us altogether, all boys. The youngest of the lot is Kila.” By these answers Kila saw that Kaialea had told the truth, so he proceeded to question him further: “Where is your youngest brother?” Kaialea replied: “He has gone to Tahiti; he was taken by an older brother, Laamaikahiki.” When Kila heard this he immediately gave his executive officer the following orders: “Take him and keep him in confinement in the temple of Pakaalana, because he has not spoken the truth; he says his youngest brother is in Tahiti.” In obedience to the orders of the chief, Kaialea was taken into the temple of Pakaalana. After he had been in confinement for a while, Kila again entered the temple and went and stood at the base of the altar where he could see Kaialea and said: “Keep him in confinement here until the day when the sacrifices are to be offered in this temple, when you must take him and offer him as a sacrifice on the altar.” It was not the intention to sacrifice Kaialea, but said in order to frighten him, which would probably cause him to tell the truth. Kila then gave orders to release the other men who had been confined and they returned to the home of the people who had entertained them before their arrest.
