At the close of these instructions from the god Lonoikoualii, Upoho and Haapuainanea arrived. While they were approaching the place, Aukelenuiaiku greeted them, saying: “My greetings to you, Upoho; and my greetings to you, Haapuainanea.” [75] When the two women heard the greeting from Aukelenuiaiku, they were ashamed, because their names were known to this stranger. Upoho then asked of Haapuainanea: “What must we give in payment to this person who has called us by our right names?” The other replied: “Let us be friends.” Upoho assented to this, and they came and sat on either side of Aukelenuiaiku. CHAPTER VI. HOW AUKELENUIAIKU GOT OUT OF TROUBLE AND HOW HE WAS REWARDED. After the three had become friends, the two women and Aukelenuiaiku, they began to converse of various matters and after a while a game of konane was proposed and played. Aukelenuiaiku then said to the women: [76] “This my turn; now it is your turn. Now we pause, the blacks cannot move, And the whites have won. The small canoes are as but dust, To the boy from Kuaihelani.” After playing for a while, the women said to Aukelenuiaiku: “We have been sent to kill you, for you were discovered by the dog of our queen, Moela; but we are going back and report that we have failed to find the person the dog was barking at, and it will be for her to send some other officers.” When they arrived in the presence of the queen, Namakaokahai, she asked them: “Where is the person for whom you were sent out to search?” The women replied: “We did not find him. We went to the top of the cliff, and on the top of the trees, and we were unable to discover anybody. We went to the uplands and shorewards, but again we failed to find anyone.” The women then continued: “Perhaps the dog was mistaken and had smelled the blood of those that were slain; and because of that he barked.” While the two were making their report the queen again released her dog, Moela. As soon as this was done the dog began to bark again and he continued to do this for some time. When the queen saw this she sent for her four bird brothers, Kanemoe, Kaneapua, Leapua and Kahaumana to come to her. When they came in the presence of the queen, she said to them: “I want you to go in search for the person that Moela is barking at. It may be a man, may be not; what is it?” As soon as she had issued her orders, the four birds flew away. When the birds were getting ready to make their flight, Lonoikoualii said to Aukelenuiaiku: “Say, Aukelenuiaiku, here comes our death. There are four birds coming to meet us. You must greet them in the same way that you greeted the two women.”
