While the seer was there he heard that Poloula owned a canoe at Wailua,
for he was chief of that place, and he desired to meet Poloula to ask
the chief for a canoe to go to Oahu.
When Hulumaniani met Poloula he begged of him a canoe to go to Oahu.
Then the canoe and men were given to him. That night when the canoe star
rose they left Kauai, 15 strong, and came first to Kamaile in Waianae.
Before the seer sailed, he first got ready a black pig, a white fowl,
and a red fish.
On the day when they reached Waianae the seer ordered the rowers to wait
there until he returned from making the circuit of the island.
Before the seer went he first climbed clear to the top of Maunalahilahi
and saw the rainbow arching at Koolauloa, as he saw it when he was on
Kalalea.
He went to Waiapuka, where Laieikawai was being guarded, and saw no
place there set off for chiefs to dwell in. Now, just as the seer
arrived, Waka had vanished into that place where Laieikawai was
concealed.
As the seer stood looking, he saw the rippling of the water where Waka
had dived. Then he said to himself: "This is a strange thing. No wind
ripples the water on this pool.
