"The Hawaiian Romance Of Laieikawai"

It is like a person bathing, who has
hidden from me." After Waka had been with Laieikawai she returned, but
while yet in the water she saw someone sitting above on the bank, so she
retreated, for she thought it was Kahauokapaka, this person on the brink
of the water hole.
Waka returned to her foster child, and came back at twilight and spied
to discover where the person had gone whom she saw, but there was the
seer sitting in the same place as before. So Waka went back again.
The seer remained at the edge of the pool, and slept there until
morning. At daybreak, when it was dawn, he arose, saw the sign of the
rainbow above Kukaniloko, forsook this place, journeyed about Oahu,
first through Koolaupoko; from there to Ewa and Honouliuli, where he saw
the rainbow arching over Wahiawa; ascended Kamaoha, and there slept over
night; but did not see the sign he sought.


CHAPTER II

When the seer failed to see the sign which he was following he left
Kamaoha, climbed clear to the top of Kaala, and there saw the rainbow
arching over Molokai. Then the seer left the place and journeyed around
Oahu; a second time he journeyed around in order to be sure of the sign
he was following, for the rainbow acted strangely, resting now in that
place, now in this.
