From them have come the many species of shark that now infest our ocean. The house which once was Kawelo’s ocean residence is still pointed out, 7 fathoms deep, a structure regularly built of rocks.] [Footnote 200: _Maha-maha i’a_. The gills or fins of a fish such as marked Kawelo.] [Footnote 201: _Aona_. A word of doubtful meaning; according to one it means lucky. That expounder (T—— P——) says it should, or-might be, _haona_; he instances the phrase _iwi paoa_, in which the word _paoa_ has a similar, but not identical, form and means lucky bone.] [Footnote 202: _Ka-maile_. A place on Kauai where prevailed the custom of throwing firebrands down the lofty precipice of Nuololo. This amusement made a fine display at night. As the fire-sticks fell they swayed and drifted in the breeze, making it difficult for one standing below to premise their course through the air and to catch one of them before it struck the ground or the water, that being one of the objects of the sport. When a visitor had accomplished this feat, he would sometimes mark his flesh with the burning stick that he might show the brand to his sweetheart as a token of his fidelity.] [Translation.] _Song_ CANTO IV I will not chase the mirage of Maná, That man-fooling mist of god Lima-loa, Which still deceives the stranger— And came nigh fooling me—the tricksy water! 5 The mirage of Maná, is a fraud; it Wantons with the witch Koolau. A friend has turned up at Wailua, Changeful Kawelo, with gills like a fish, Has power to bring luck in any queer shape. 10 As a stranger now am I living, Aye, living. You flaunt like a person of wealth, Yours the fish, till it comes to my hook. I am blest at receiving from you: 15 Like fire-sticks flung at Ka-maile— The visitor vainly chases the brand: Fool! he burns his flesh to gain, the red mark, A sign for the girl he loves, oho! _Mele_ PALE V (Ai-ha’a, a he Ko’i-honua paha)
