After Kila had had his weeping in the stream, he returned home to meet his mother and aunt, at the same time keeping himself unknown to them. Hooipoikamalanai and her sister then spoke to Kila: “We would like to have our sons brought here so that we may live together in this same place, as we do not want to have them live away from us.” The brothers were then sent for and they came and lived with their mothers in the same house. While they were all together Kila asked his mother and aunt: “Have you any children?” Hooipoikamalanai answered: “Yes, we have children. There are two of us mothers and one father. We have five children; I have three with our husband. This one, which is Umalehu, is the first-born; then his brother, Kaialea, who is now in confinement; and then the youngest, Kila, who is now dead. He was eaten up by a shark, while on an expedition to Haena with his brothers for the purpose of bringing back the bones of their father which were to be taken to Tahiti later on. I am still keeping the hands of my dead son. Hinauu here has two sons with our husband. These two whom you see here: their names are Kekaihawewe and Laukapalala. When word was brought to us that Kaialea was to be killed, we decided to come and die with him. But if you will give your consent that we die in Kaialea’s stead, let him live.” Kila replied: “Your son will surely die; he is to be sacrificed tomorrow. I have nothing more to say in the matter. I have left his life and death in the hands of the executioner.” Shortly after the above conversation took place, Kila asked his brothers: “Where is your brother Kila?” One of the boys answered: “He was eaten up by a shark, just as our mother has told you.” Upon hearing this reply the officers were ordered to arrest them and place them in confinement in the temple where Kaialea was being kept. When this was done Hooipoikamalanai and her sister were greatly troubled because all their sons were now placed in confinement. They then said to themselves: “How much better it would have been for us had we remained at Kauai, for then all our sons would not have gotten into this trouble. It is best that we all die together now.” On the next day Kila sent out men to call all the people of Waipio together to come and see Kaialea and his brothers placed on the altar for sacrifice. The order given was as follows: “Come together to see the sacrifice.” It was not Kila’s intention, however, to do this, but he was preparing to make himself known to his brothers, mother and aunt, and he was also preparing to reveal the great crime his brothers had committed against him, their brother. Furthermore, he was unable to continue being a stranger to his mother any longer, for his grief was more than he could bear. CHAPTER VIII. HOW KILA MADE HIMSELF KNOWN TO HIS MOTHER, AUNT AND BROTHERS.
