CHAPTER XXVI

[Footnote 69: This episode of the storm is another inconsistency in the

story. The storm signs belong to the gods of Aiwohikupua and his

brother, the Sun god, not to Laieikawai, and were certainly not hers

when Waka deserted her. If they were given her for protection by

Kahalaomapuana or through the influence of the seer with the Kauai

family, the story-teller does not inform us of the fact.]

[Footnote 70: The _pa-u_ is a woman's main garment, and consists of five

thicknesses of bark cloth 4 yards long and 3 or 4 feet wide, the outer

printed in colors, and worn wrapped about the loins, reaching the

knees.]
