  “Kuu kaikunane kapu,
   Laniihikapu o kuu manawa—­e! 
   Heaha ka hala nui? 
   I paweo ai na maka o kuu haku,
   I kapu ai ka leo i ka uwalo,
   Ka uwalo hoi a kou mau pokii,
   Kou mau pokii kaikuahine hoi,
   E maliu mai. 
   E maliu mai i na hoa ukali,
   Na hoa pii pali o Haena,
   Kokolo pali o ke ala haka,
   Alahaka ulili o Nualolo,
   Pali kui—­e! kui o Makana,
   E iala—­e, hoi mai—­e. 
   Homai ka ihu i ou pokii,
   A hele aku i kau huakai,
   I ka huakai hoi a ke aloha ole—­e. 
   Aloha oe, ike aku,
   Ike aku i ka aina,
   I ka maka o na makua—­e.”

A lohe o Aiwohikupua ma i ka leo o keia kaikuahine, lana malie iho la na waa, alaila, i aku la o Kahalaomapuana, “Pono io kakou, akahi no hea ana i lana malie ai na waa, hoolohe aku kakou o ka leo o ke kahea mai, a kau kakou maluna o na waa, alaila, palekana.”

A liuliu ka lakou la hoolana ana i na waa, o ka huli aku la no ia o Aiwohikupua ma e holo, aole wahi mea a maliu iki mai.

A hala aku la lakou la, kuka hou iho la na kaikuahine i olelo hou na lakou.  O Kahalaomapuana no ko lakou mea manao.

I mai la oia i kona mau kaikuaana, “Elua maua i koe, owau a me Mailepakaha.”

Olelo mai hoi o Mailepakaha, “Aole no e maliu mai ia’u; no ka mea, ke maliu ole ae la ka hoi i ko kaua mau kaikuaana, oki loa aku paha wau, i ko’u manao, e aho nau e hoalohaloha’ku na kahi mea uuku o kakou, malia o maliu mai ia oe.”

Aole nae he ae o kahi muli loa, alaila, hoailona iho la lakou, ma ka huhuki ana i na pua mauu, o ka mea loihi o ka mauu, oia ka mea nana e hoalohaloha ko lakou kaikunane; aka, i ka hoailona ana, ku ia Kahalaomapuana ka hoailona.

A pau ka lakou hana ana no keia mau mea, haalele lakou ia Punahoa, hele ukali hou mai Ia lakou ma kahi e loaa ai ko lakou kaikunane, ia hele ana, hiki lakou i Honolii, ua hiki mua o Aiwohikupua ma i Honolii, noho mai la lakou nei ma kahi kaawale, a pela no hoi o Aiwohikupua ma ma kahi kaawale.

Ia lakou ma Honolii ia po, kuka iho la lakou e moe kekahi poe, a e ala hookahi, a holo ia mea ia lakou.  Hoomaka ko lakou wati e like me ko lakou hanau ana, a i ko lakou kaikaina ka wati wanaao o ke ku ana.  O ke kumu o ia hana ana a lakou pela, i ikeia ka manawa holo o Aiwohikupua ma; no ka mea, ua maa kona mau kaikuahine i ka holo ana mai, mai Kauai mai, ma ka wanaao e holo ai.

Ku aku la na kaikuahine i ka po, a hiki i ko Mailepakaha wati e ku ana, hoomakaukau o Aiwohikupua ma i na waa no ka holo ana, hoala aku la ia i kekahi poe o lakou, a ala like mai lakou a pau.

Ia lakou e okuu nui ana, o ka Kahalaomapuana wati ia, a kau lakou ma na waa, hookokoke aku la kona mau kaikuahine ma ke awa, a o Kahalaomapuana ka mea i hele loa aku a paa mahope o na waa, a kahea aku ma ke mele, penei:
