When they touched land Aukelenuiaiku said to his brothers: “Let me have charge of the ship?” The brothers said: “Why don’t you build yourself a ship, then you can have all the say.” Aukelenuiaiku replied: “If I have charge of the ship we will all be saved, but if you insist on taking charge of it yourself we will all be killed, none will be saved.” The brothers replied to Aukelenuiaiku, saying: “Where did you learn to be strong and brave, so that you could have the right to tell us to hold our peace while you take charge of everything.” Aukelenuiaiku replied: “It would be quite right if it were to be a hand to hand fight, where you could meet your enemy face to face. There would be no doubt then, for you would surely win, but if the fight is to be otherwise, you will not win. This is the reason why I said that we will all be killed.” The brothers said: “You have nothing to say in the matter, anyhow. It is going to be as we wish it, and you must keep quiet.” When the brothers said this, Aukelenuiaiku did not make any reply. As they were nearing the land, the queen, Namakaokahai, looked and saw a ship approaching the harbor. She then sent her brothers, the four birds, to fly to the ship and inquire the object of its coming. The names of these brothers of Namakaokahai, were Kanemoe, Kaneapua, Leapua and Kahaumana. The brothers then flew in their bird form and lit on the yards and asked: “What is the object of this ship coming here?” The brothers answered: “It is a ship to make war.” When the birds heard this they returned to Namakaokahai. When they arrived they were asked: “What is that ship here for?” “It is a ship to make war.” When Namakaokahai heard this, she came and stood on the outside of the house, and girded on her war pau while she held her war kahili in her hand. Before Namakaokahai received her brothers’ report, Aukelenuiaiku said to them: “Say, where are you all? The birds are coming back and will again inquire of the object of our coming. When they arrive, you tell them that the ship is only on a voyage of sightseeing, and not a ship to make war.” While Aukelenuiaiku was still talking the birds arrived on the ship and again asked: “What is the object of the coming of this ship?” The brothers of Aukelenuiaiku replied: “It is a ship to make war.” CHAPTER V.
