Waka took Laieikawai where Kapukaihaoa had directed, and there she kept
Laieikawai hidden until she was come to maturity.
Now, Kapukaihaoa took Laielohelohe to the uplands of Wahiawa, to the
place called Kukaniloko.[7]
All the days that Laieikawai was at Waiapuka a rainbow arch was there
constantly, in rain or calm, yet no one understood the nature of this
rainbow, but such signs as attend a chief were always present wherever
the twins were guarded.
Just at this time Hulumaniani was making a tour of Kauai in his
character as the great seer of Kauai, and when he reached the summit of
Kalalea he beheld the rainbow arching over Oahu; there he remained 20
days in order to be sure of the nature of the sign which he saw. By
that time the seer saw clearly that it was the sign of a great
chief--this rainbow arch and the two ends of a rainbow encircled in dark
clouds.
Then the seer made up his mind to go to Oahu to make sure about the sign
which he saw. He left the place and went to Anahola to bargain for a
boat to go to Oahu, but he could not hire a boat to go to Oahu. Again
the seer made a tour of Kauai; again he ascended Kalalea and saw again
the same sign as before, just the same as at first; then he came back to
Anahola.
