When Aukelenuiaiku heard the object of the sailing of the ship, he begged that he too be allowed to sail with them. His brother Ikumailani then said to him: “You cannot go with us, because we have no other reason of going away except on your own account. If you had died we would not be leaving Kuaihelani.” By this refusal on the part of his brother, Aukelenuiaiku said in kindly reply: “Say, don’t you know that it is a sad thing to go off to some strange land and die there. Your bones will be put away by a stranger, perhaps even by a friend, but not by a younger brother, one who has been born with you and who was from the same womb. I therefore beg of you that I too be allowed to sail with you, so that in case you my older brothers should die, then I will die with you. Then our names will come back in fame in the saying, ‘So-and-so have died with their younger brother.’ Then your names will not be spoken in disrespect.” By these remarks we see how determined Aukelenuiaiku was in trying to follow his brothers, when he knew that all his troubles had come from these same men. With all this he still wished and insisted on going with them. If this is so, then we cannot blame the older brothers if they should kill him. In this request, that he be allowed to accompany them, however, we will see how he for a time managed to save his brothers from death, and how he came to have all the benefits foretold him by his lizard grandmother; and how all the advice she gave Aukelenuiaiku was faithfully kept to his salvation. After Aukelenuiaiku had spoken to his kind brother, Ikumailani, this brother said to him: “You cannot gain your point from me. You must go to our nephew and tell him of your wish. If he gives his consent, then you will be able to go.” Aukelenuiaiku then asked him: “How am I to get him to listen to me?” “You go and call him by his name in this way: ‘Say, Kaumailunaoholaniku, ask me to come up on the ship with you so that we may play together. You cannot enjoy yourself with those old men. I am the proper companion that will be suited to you, because you are young and so am I.’” After these instructions had been imparted by his older brother, their father who was listening said: “My boy, don’t go with them, for you will be killed. When you are not safe living with me, what chance will you have when you accompany them? If you insist on going you will surely get killed, and your mother and I will not see you again.” Aukelenuiaiku answered: “I will not remain with you two. I am going sightseeing and to visit other lands in the sea; therefore I am going.”
