[A word is here necessary in reference to the composition of this mele. The history of the kings of Maui is mentioned in this chant and the composition of it was made solely for the Maui kings.] We will now continue with the story of Kihapiilani. At the close of the conversation between the old men and Kihapiilani, he continued on his way to the uplands of Kalaniwai, where he began planting his potato stalks. For some time Kihapiilani devoted his whole time to the cultivation of his fields, until his season of want was finally passed, for he felt bitterly the shame and insult shown him by his wife’s parents when he was called a lazy fellow. When the potatoes were at last matured he turned them over to his wife and her parents. CHAPTER II. RELATING TO KIHAPIILANI. We will now see how Kihapiilani made the search for the one to avenge the insult given him by his unkind brother, Piilani. After Kihapiilani had spoken to his wife relative to the field of potatoes, he said to her: “My wife, I am going away and shall leave you. I have labored patiently in the cultivation and care of these fields until they are ripened. You will eat the fruit of our labor.” The wife replied: “Are you going away for good, then, and are you not coming back again?” The husband replied: “Yes, I am not coming back for a summer and a winter. If you have husband-regard, remain husbandless until my return.” When the wife heard this she held Kihapiilani back and refused to allow him to go. Because of this stubbornness on his wife’s part he told her everything concerning himself in order to overcome her opposition, so he said: “My wife, I am now going to reveal certain things to you which you must not repeat, and I also urge upon you not to reveal my name. I am Kihapiilani; I am going in search of some one who will kill my brother Lonoapii (Piilani).” When the wife heard this she then knew that her husband was Kihapiilani, the great chief; and she also knew that it was beyond her to withhold him from going, so she consented for him to go on his way. As soon as he was allowed to go, Kihapiilani started for Waikapu where the prophetess by the name of Pao was living. While Kihapiilani was yet on the road, on his way to meet her, she predicted to those around her, saying: “There is a chief on the way here in search for some one to help him in his revenge.”
