THE SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH AND FIFTH CONTESTS, AND THE ARRIVAL OF
KAIKILANI.
After this defeat of Kakuhihewa by Lonoikamakahiki, Lanahuimihaku and
his companion then said to Kakuhihewa: “Say, Kakuhihewa, since we have
been beaten by the king of Hawaii in this contest, let this be his
victory. Our idea is this: we think it a good plan that we go out
fishing. It is more than possible that the king of Hawaii can be
enticed to follow us out, and if he does, and he gets excited over the
sport, he will surely ask us for hook, line and bait; then we will
shame him, for he is a king without any knowledge of the art of
fishing. If this can be done we will be able to defeat him, and you
will then get his feather kahili.”
Because of this, Kakuhihewa made up his mind to agree to this
proposition expressed by Lanahuimihaku and his companion, so all doubts
were removed from his mind as to his ability to win the feather kahili,
and being easily led by Lanahuimihaku and his companion, Kakuhihewa of
course consented. It was a common thing with Kakuhihewa to give in to
the wishes of the two men, for he had the most implicit confidence in
them.
On the morning of the day after, Kakuhihewa and his men made ready the
double canoe and set out for the fishing grounds for a day of fishing.
The fishing grounds they decided to go to that day were the ones called
Akaka, directly out of Kailua, at a point from which Kahuku in
Koolauloa and Mokuoniki on the east of Molokai could be seen.
When Lonoikamakahiki saw Kakuhihewa setting out for the purpose of
fishing, he turned and said to his retainer, Loli: “I think it a good
idea that we follow Kakuhihewa and his companions and look on while the
king of Oahu does his fishing.” Loli replied to his ward: “You must not
urge us to follow out to watch the fishing, for if you get stubborn I
will get killed, because you do not know how to fish.” To this
Lonoikamakahiki said to Loli: “Why should you get killed without any
cause?” The attendant replied: “Here is the reason why I shall be
killed: after we get to the fishing grounds you will see Kakuhihewa and
his companions hauling in the fish, and you will get excited over the
sport and will have a desire to do some fishing yourself. Because of
that desire you will ask for hook and line, and they will refuse and
insult you with such expression as this: ‘Where have you been that you
should come here unprepared?’ Therefore you will be ashamed; and this
will cause my death.” Lonoikamakahiki replied: “Why should they refuse
to give me hook and line? Only the ignorant will refuse to give hook
and line.” The attendant said: “Yes, that would be the proper way of
reasoning if things were right between you, but as things stand now
they do not think well of you, for you have beaten them, and for this
reason they will refuse giving you what you ask.” But with all this
advice given by his attendant the king’s desire to go out was not
abated; in fact, the desire became stronger, and Lonoikamakahiki
finally demanded of his servant that they follow Kakuhihewa and his
companions and look on while they fished.
Because of this demand made by the king, Loli therefore said to
Lonoikamakahiki: “Where art thou? Since you have become stubborn about
going fishing, I want you to bear in mind what I have to say to you.
After we come up to Kakuhihewa and his companions, and you should wish
to do some fishing yourself after seeing Kakuhihewa haul out several
fish, and if you should ask for hook and line and they should refuse
and insult you, then you must kill me, [268] take out my intestine and
use it for a line, and my thigh bone for your hook; then take my flesh
and use it for your bait, and my head you can use as a sinker; then
lower the whole thing into the sea and, after giving a jerk, call out
in my name as follows: ‘Say, Loli! Say, Loli, the fish without eyes!!
Catch a fish for us, Loli.’ Then you will hook an ahi.” [269] After
giving Lonoikamakahiki these instructions they proceeded out to sea.
A FEW WORDS OF EXPLANATION RELATING TO LOLI AND HAUNA.
In the first chapter of this story of Lonoikamakahiki the character of
these two men, Loli and Hauna, is there told. Hauna and Loli were men
who faithfully followed their religious rites and were true worshippers
of the god of Keawenuiaumi, which was left in charge of
Lonoikamakahiki.
These two men were famous throughout the whole group because of their
great supernatural powers and because of their great respect of their
god, and by this respect it was supposed that they were able to perform
many miracles in the name of the god of Keawenuiaumi. [270] It was
because of this great power that Loli was able to see the future and so
instructed his king Lonoikamakahiki to kill him in order to obtain
line, hook and bait.
HOW LONOIKAMAKAHIKI FOLLOWED TO SEE KAKUHIHEWA AND HIS COMPANIONS FISH.
Lonoikamakahiki and his companions in due time caught up with
Kakuhihewa’s canoe and together they arrived at the same fishing
grounds; but Lonoikamakahiki, contrary to all rules about fishing, kept
on going until his double canoe stood directly at the bow of
Kakuhihewa’s double canoe, where he cast off the rock that served as
his anchor. This rock was a very small one for the purpose, but to
prove the supernatural powers of Hauna it served the purpose as an
anchor, although a strong gale came up and for a short time it blew
quite fiercely. When the storm was blowing, the rock that served as an
anchor for the double canoe of Kakuhihewa was unable to hold the canoe
and so it was carried off to the leeward of the fishing grounds for
some distance. The double canoe of Lonoikamakahiki, however, never
moved a bit, and the small rock held it as though a large anchor had
been used. This was because of the supernatural powers of Hauna.
When Kakuhihewa saw how the double canoe of the king of Hawaii was held
by the small mooring rock he expressed the desire of possessing it, so
he immediately made up his mind to name the rock in his next wager with
Lonoikamakahiki.
While Lonoikamakahiki and his companions were floating in the same
place Kakuhihewa said to Lanahuimihaku and his companion: “What a
wonderful rock the king of Hawaii must have.” Lanahuimihaku and his
companion replied: “Yes, we know of the rock that serves as the anchor
of the double canoe of the king of Hawaii. We have seen several rocks
like that.” Because of this answer given by Lanahuimihaku and his
companion, Kakuhihewa thought he would send for one like it from
Hawaii, but Lanahuimihaku and his companion said: “You cannot make use
of that kind of rock, however, because your attendants do not possess
supernatural powers. That rock holds that canoe because of the
supernatural powers of Hauna.”
When Lonoikamakahiki and his companions were moored directly at the bow
of the double canoe of Kakuhihewa, Kakuhihewa was sore displeased, for
he knew that such a thing was not considered right by all fishermen.
This displeasure was so strong that he spoke of the matter and remarked
that he did not at all like the way Lonoikamakahiki’s double canoe was
moored. But Lanahuimihaku and his companion, however, said: “Don’t at
all mind it. If the king of Hawaii has any fishing implements with him
then it would be wrong.” This reply satisfied Kakuhihewa for he thought
no more of the matter.
While Kakuhihewa and Lanahuimihaku and his companion were talking,
Kakuhihewa felt a fish tugging at his hook, so he said to Lanahuimihaku
and his companion: “Say, I have caught a fish. What can it be?”
Lanahuimihaku and his companion said: “It must be an ulua. [271] Ask
the king of Hawaii what it is.” Because of this, Kakuhihewa called out:
“There you are! Say, King of Hawaii, what kind of a fish have I
caught?” Loli said to Lonoikamakahiki: “Tell him that it is a shark.”
Lonoikamakahiki therefore replied as directed by Loli, saying: “It is a
shark.”
Because Lonoikamakahiki had named the fish to be a shark Kakuhihewa
asked of Lanahuimihaku and his companion: “Is it a shark?”
Lanahuimihaku and his companion replied: “It is not a shark. The king
of Hawaii deceives himself. Here we have been fishing on these grounds
many times and we never have caught a single shark. You also know that
these fishing grounds have been dedicated to our god and no shark can
come here. Make a wager with him. You will for the first time beat the
king of Hawaii now.”
Because of these words of Lanahuimihaku and his companion, Kakuhihewa
said to Lonoikamakahiki: “Say, King of Hawaii, we had better make a
wager. If it is a shark you beat us; but if the fish I hold should
prove to be an ulua, then we beat you.” Lonoikamakahiki replied: “What
shall our wagers be?” Kakuhihewa said: “From Leahi to the Kaena point,
I will place against your mooring rock.” Lonoikamakahiki replied: “It
is a bet.” Kakuhihewa then pulled on his line and when the fish was
almost to the surface, Kakuhihewa said to Lanahuimihaku and his
companion: “It is a shark. We have lost to the king of Hawaii.”
Lanahuimihaku and his companion then looked down and when they saw it
was a shark they nodded to Kakuhihewa to let go the line so as to allow
the shark to break away and in that way get rid of it before the others
could see it. But Lonoikamakahiki had seen the nod and at once saw the
intention of Kakuhihewa and his companions to allow the fish to break
away from the line; so he called out to Kakuhihewa and the others:
“Say, King of Oahu, don’t play false and allow the fish to get away by
letting go of the line. If you don’t see the shark, pull it in to be
certain.” Kakuhihewa was therefore forced to pull on the line and after
a while they all saw plainly that it was a shark. Because of this
Kakuhihewa said to Lonoikamakahiki: “You have won. It was because we
were certain that no sharks came to these fishing grounds that we made
the wager with you.”
It was a well-known fact that no sharks were caught on these fishing
grounds, as the place was dedicated to the gods, hence no sharks were
supposed to get there, as the gods had charge of the place; but by the
supernatural powers of Loli and Hauna the fishing grounds known to be
without sharks became a place infested with them. Having won the wager,
Kakuhihewa lost to Lonoikamakahiki that portion of Oahu from Leahi to
Kaena point, which became the property of Lonoikamakahiki.
After this had taken place the desire to take a hand at fishing
overcame Lonoikamakahiki, so he said to Kakuhihewa: “Say, King of Oahu,
let me have a hook, line and some bait and also a sinker.” Kakuhihewa
replied: “Why did you not come prepared when you came out to fish? Did
you suppose that we were to supply you with these things necessary for
a fisherman?” Loli, the attendant, then said: “My king, you have been
shamed. This is what I expected and therefore warned you that we had
better not come out. Now, therefore, you must kill me.”
In obedience to the former instructions of his attendant,
Lonoikamakahiki proceeded to kill Loli and to make use of the different
parts for his fishing apparatus, then lowered the whole thing into the
sea. He then called the words taught him by Loli, saying: “Say, Loli!
Say, Loli, the fish without eyes of the sea!! Catch us a fish, Loli.”
At that very moment, as soon as the last word was spoken, an ahi bit
his hook. As soon as he felt the bite Lonoikamakahiki called out: “Say,
Kakuhihewa, what kind of a fish have I caught?” Kakuhihewa hesitated
for a while, then asked of Lanahuimihaku and his companion: “What kind
of a fish has the king of Hawaii caught?” Lanahuimihaku and his
companion replied: “Name it a shark, because the first fish caught
being a shark there must be a lot of them down below.” Because of this,
and in accordance with the words of Lanahuimihaku and his companion, he
answered Lonoikamakahiki, saying: “It is a shark.” Lonoikamakahiki
answered back: “No, you are mistaken, King of Oahu.” Kakuhihewa then
asked Lonoikamakahiki: “And what do you say it is?” Lonoikamakahiki
replied: “This is not a shark, it is an ahi.”
Because of this reply made by Lonoikamakahiki, Kakuhihewa therefore
asked of Lanahuimihaku and his companion: “Is the fish caught by the
king of Hawaii really an ahi?” Lanahuimihaku and his companion replied:
“The king of Hawaii is deceiving us. Don’t you know that everybody
knows that no ahi can be caught in Oahu, and that such fish can only be
caught at Niihau and Hawaii fishing stations? Make a wager with him.”
Kakuhihewa then called out: “Say, King of Hawaii, let us settle on a
wager then. From the Kaena point to the Kaoio point as against your
mooring rock.” Lonoikamakahiki replied: “It is a bet.”
As soon as the wager was settled Lonoikamakahiki pulled on the line and
when the fish was almost to the surface he allowed it to pull away
directly below the double canoe of Kakuhihewa and his companions. At
this time Kakuhihewa and his men made out that the fish caught by
Lonoikamakahiki was an ahi. As the fish was plainly seen Lanahuimihaku
and his companion said to Kakuhihewa: “We are beaten by the king of
Hawaii, for here it is; the fish is really an ahi.”
When the fish came up to the side of the canoe of Lonoikamakahiki,
Lonoikamakahiki took a wreath of lehua blossoms and a wreath of hala,
which had been made ready beforehand for this purpose, and put them
around the gills of the fish, and then called out to Kakuhihewa: “Say,
King of Oahu, this fish must have come all the way from Hawaii, for it
is the yellow-gilled ahi of Umulau, for it is wearing wreaths of hala
and of lehua.”
When Kakuhihewa heard these words of Lonoikamakahiki he, as well as
those with him, was surprised and therefore asked of Lanahuimihaku and
his companion, saying: “Do you two know that the ahi of Hawaii wear
wreaths of lehua and hala?” Lanahuimihaku and his companion replied:
“The king of Hawaii is deceiving us. Make another wager.”
In obedience to this Kakuhihewa therefore called out: “Say, King of
Hawaii, let us make a wager. From the Kaoio point to Mokapu I will
place against your mooring rock.” Lonoikamakahiki replied: “It is a
bet.” As soon as the bet was made the stern of the double canoe of
Lonoikamakahiki was turned toward the double canoe of Kakuhihewa, the
fish was then made fast and Lonoikamakahiki showed the wreaths to
Kakuhihewa, so that he was beaten.
After Kakuhihewa had been beaten, Lanahuimihaku and his companion said
to Kakuhihewa: “We have been beaten in all our wagers, and the island
of Oahu is almost wholly gone. Now, therefore, we had better do this:
let us wager the rest of the island, from Mokapu to Leahi, as against
the mooring rock, and let us have a canoe race. The canoe that will
reach dry land first shall be the winner. If the king of Hawaii should
agree to this then we will surely win, because he has but two rowers.”
Because of these words of Lanahuimihaku and his companion Kakuhihewa
called out: “Say, King of Hawaii, let us make another wager for the
rest of the island.” Lonoikamakahiki then asked: “What shall we do?”
Kakuhihewa replied: “Let us have a canoe race. Let the double canoe
that will reach dry land first be the winner, and let that portion of
the island of Oahu that is left be placed against your mooring rock.”
Lonoikamakahiki replied: “It is a bet.” After the bets had been made,
Lonoikamakahiki said to Kakuhihewa: “You had better go on ahead.” When
Lanahuimihaku and his companion heard Lonoikamakahiki ask of Kakuhihewa
to proceed on ahead, they urged Kakuhihewa to order the rowers to go
ahead. The order was therefore given and they started off.
After Kakuhihewa and his companions had started Lonoikamakahiki ordered
his rowers to partake of some food. The men then took some food. By
this time Kakuhihewa and his companions were almost out of sight. When
they finished their meal Lonoikamakahiki ordered his rowers, Kaiehu and
Kapahi, to row away. At the order the men began to row, taking the
Koolauloa way and by way of Kona and then on in toward Waimanalo. After
going for some time Kakuhihewa and his men laid to and awaited for the
approach of Lonoikamakahiki, thinking that when they came up nearer
they would then make land.
While they were waiting, Lonoikamakahiki, on the other hand, was coming
inside of the Waimanalo reef and was almost at Kailua. When
Lonoikamakahiki and his men were about to get to the landing place
Kakuhihewa for the first time caught sight of them, so he said to
Lanahuimihaku and his companion: “I want you two to look and see what
double canoe that is that is entering the landing place.” Lanahuimihaku
and his companion then looked and said: “That canoe is
Lonoikamakahiki’s. We are beaten.” Kakuhihewa then said to
Lanahuimihaku and his companion: “Where did they come from?”
Lanahuimihaku and his companion replied: “They must have come by way of
Koolau, then by way of Waianae and Kona.” Kakuhihewa said: “I thought
you said that we were to win this race; but here it is we are beaten.
You two are indeed strange. Here the whole of the island is gone, all
through your advice, which I have always obeyed. Now my kingdom is lost
to Lonoikamakahiki.” Lanahuimihaku and his companion replied: “We were
made bold to make a request for a canoe race with the king of Hawaii
because we saw we have sixteen rowers while the king of Hawaii has but
two.” When Kakuhihewa lost this last wager he lost the whole of the
island of Oahu to Lonoikamakahiki.
After this last wager Kakuhihewa wagered his daughter with the
expectation of winning back his lands. The game they played, however,
was the game of konane. Kakuhihewa was an expert at the game; in fact
this was the one thing in which he excelled in all the games he had
made a study of, and knowing this Kakuhihewa challenged
Lonoikamakahiki. This challenge Lonoikamakahiki accepted.
Lonoikamakahiki, on the other hand, was not an expert in the game of
konane, for the only time he played the game was when they were staying
at Kalaupapa, where he played with his cousin, his wife.
After the bets had been made the stones were placed in position.
Lonoikamakahiki then said to Kakuhihewa: “You make the first move.”
Kakuhihewa therefore made the first move, and Lonoikamakahiki followed
with the next. Kakuhihewa made another move, and Lonoikamakahiki made
his. Kakuhihewa made several moves and so did Lonoikamakahiki. After
this Lonoikamakahiki had his own way with the game. Of course
Kakuhihewa was beaten in the first game, but since they had agreed
before the start that two games must be won before the winner can claim
the wager, the stones were again placed on the board and
Lonoikamakahiki made the first move. In this second game
Lonoikamakahiki proved to be the best player, and the game was almost
won when it was stopped because of the arrival of Kaikilani at Kailua
from Hawaii.
When the people saw a double canoe approaching they mentioned the fact
and Lonoikamakahiki looked up and saw that it was Kaikilani, but not
wanting to see her, in order to live up to the law laid down by him
while in Molokai, after he had beaten Kaikilani, he therefore kept his
face down onto the board so that he would not see her.
Kaikilani, on the other hand, when she came ashore approached the wall
surrounding the house and on coming to the railing she saw
Lonoikamakahiki playing konane, with his face turned toward the inside
of the house. Upon seeing Lonoikamakahiki, Kaikilani recited the chant
in his honor, similar to the one that appears in Chapter V. The chant
was recited by her as follows:
Kahikahonua to Elekaukama,
Halalakauluonae,
Nanamakaikaeleua,
Mahehaluakama,
Laloia, Laloae Kama.
Cling perseveringly to the breast
Of Kukulu of Halaaniani.
Falling hither, falling thither,
Falling in the time of Kama,
Kapapaokalewa Kama,

In the time of Hakiawihi Kama
Hakekoai, O Lono.
Opuukahonua, Kamakalewa,

The base of Kama,
Haena and Koenamimi.
Young is the offspring of Lonokaeho.
Who art thou?

Water is on Oahu,
It shows there above.
Kaunuohua is low

For such is the way you dwell in Kona.
And catch the spawn of the Ii
And carry the spawn of Keaau.
O thou Hanalei!
Hanalei, the source of the rains,
Made low from carrying such a burden,
Who has stood on the hill top
Whose shadow has reached the bottom.
They are greatly wearied by the roughness [of the sea].
Lift up the canoe,
Get aboard, paddle away, get on.
Let the people get aboard
With the sounding sticks,
With the binding ropes,
With the floaters.
The canoe master is aboard;
It is Lelepahu of Hawaii;
It is the large Hawaii of Kane;
It is Hilo of Kane of Kapu;
It is Hilo with the high cliffs;
It is Ku, the Lehua-eater;

It is a fish sacred to my god.
Let the canoe enter
At Kaluakoi,
The barren coast of Puumomi,
At the entrance of Wailau,
Of Umipiilani.
It is the mirage of Mana;
It is as though following behind;
The water is following;
The water of Kamakahou is following;
The water that is not water,
The water of Mana.
Like the sea is the water,
Like the water is the sea.
The sugar-cane trash from my eating
Was cast away, left behind, forgotten.
After I had gone beyond
I failed to recognize.
What was seen behind, again appears in front.
The iliau has wilted in the sun
[As] the plentiful dew of the morning.
What was seen behind, again appears in front
Of Laauhaele.
Passed are the emblems of the god of the year,
Gone to bury the dead
[On] the barren sands of Nonohili.
The coconut grove bends low seaward of Pokii,
In reverence to [the god] Makalii.
Dearly I love the icy waters of Malama.
Lonoikamakahiki is growing.
It is Kamakahikikaiakea
Of the plain of Kohala of Wakiu,
Of Lanikaula,
My isle of the sea.
Say, Lono,
I have recognized your back;
I have sung to you; the hearing,
The seeing is yours. Say, Lono,
Turn to me. [273]
At the close of Kaikilani’s call or chant in honor of the name of
Lonoikamakahiki he turned around and pretended as though it was the
first time he had seen his cousin who had been standing outside of the
enclosure. At sight of her, Lonoikamakahiki could scarcely contain
himself, and his love for her was such that, try as he would, he could
not withhold his tears; he was, however, able to refrain from crying
out aloud.
As his cousin had chanted in honor of his name, it was for him to
respond by chanting her name; but being unable to recall the chant at
that time he looked steadily at Lanahuimihaku and his companion, for he
knew that these two men were familiar with the chant, and knowing this
Lonoikamakahiki looked at them with the hope that they would realize
his inability to recite the chant and they do it for him. But
Lanahuimihaku and his companion, however, did not wish to come to his
assistance, for they were supporters of Kakuhihewa.
After a time, however, the first four lines of Kaikilani’s chant came
to his memory, and together with a few lines which he picked up
Lonoikamakahiki chanted the following response to the chant in his
honor:
My cliff of lehua at Kilou,
My land of lehua there below,
My man of lehua on the cliff,
Lehua of my land.
You must tell the others
That I am your cousin.
Yes—. Yes—. Yes—.
I was at that hill,
I was at this hill,
Muss up your apparel.
The cliff of lehua looked on
As I was jumping down.
When Kakuhihewa heard Lonoikamakahiki’s response to the name of his
cousin, Kakuhihewa remarked: “Lonoikamakahiki is chanting somebody
else’s name instead of his own.” Lonoikamakahiki replied: “It is done.
I am going to recite it, but I must first weep with the stranger.”
Kaikilani then came in and kissed [274] Lonoikamakahiki and they wept.
Seeing that Kakuhihewa was constantly urging Lonoikamakahiki to chant
the name of Lonoikamakahiki, she asked of Lonoikamakahiki: “What is it
that they are constantly urging you to do?” Lonoikamakahiki replied:
“They are telling me to chant my name, because Lanahuimihaku and his
companion have said that I am a chief without a chant in honor of my
name.” Kaikilani then said: “Let us cease weeping and do as they
request.” Lonoikamakahiki then faced about and recited to the people
the chant in honor of his name, while Kaikilani joined him. The chant
is the one already related above.
At the close of the chant by Lonoikamakahiki and Kaikilani,
Lonoikamakahiki then said to Lanahuimihaku and his companion: “You two
men are the worst of any I have known. [275] If during my visit here I
shall get a hold of this island of Oahu, I will cut you to pieces while
alive.” [276]
