As soon as Mua reached the canoe, he looked over the men and stood them up. Examining the first one and finding a protuberance on his body, he remarked: “You will never be able to get Luukia.” He then examined the next man, and so on to the last, with the exception of Kila. The reason why Mua examined the men was because he wished to find one who could command the admiration of Luukia, and by him get a chance to approach Luukia, as he had never been able to please Luukia even up to this time. Luukia was a very beautiful woman and had no equal. She was the wife of Olopana, and owing to his being afflicted with the dropsy they never lived together. Luukia, however, had been bound, [133] or netted, by Olopana with small cord in the fashion of the lashing of canoes ever since the departure of Moikeha. Upon seeing the bundle on the platform, Mua asked the people: “What is this large bundle on the platform?” The people replied: “It is a bundle of clothes.” Mua then went up to it and felt the bundle. After feeling it he opened the bundle and discovered a man. He then looked all over the man and found him to be perfect in every respect. He then remarked: “You will be admired by Luukia. If in case you should, will you ask her to be mine?” Before Mua boarded the canoe, Kila had instructed his men as follows: “If Mua should come and ask that some one of you ask Luukia to be his wife, tell him to lie in the canoe face down, and not to get up or move about or speak, but he must lie very quietly so that he will be able to get Luukia.” After inspecting Kila, the people told Mua to do as they had been instructed by Kila. When Mua heard this he was very glad. As soon as Mua had lain face down in the canoe, Kila told the men to hold Mua down and urinate on him. This was done until it covered him for two days and one night, so that he died without accomplishing his desire respecting Luukia. Thus, through the wit of Kila, was the betrayer of Moikeha his father avenged.
