On the day when the seer left Kaala and climbed to the top of
Kuamooakane the rainbow bent again over Molokai, and there rested the
end of the rainbow, covered out of sight with thunderclouds. Three days
he remained on Kuamooakane, thickly veiled in rain and fog.
On the fourth day he secured a boat to go to Molokai. He went on board
the canoe and had sailed half the distance, when the paddlers grew vexed
because the prophet did nothing but sleep, while the pig squealed and
the cock crowed.
So the paddler in front[8] signed to the one at the rear to turn the
canoe around and take the seer back as he slept.
The paddlers turned the canoe around and sailed for Oahu. When the canoe
turned back, the seer distrusted this, because the wind blew in his
face; for he knew the direction of the wind when he left Oahu, and now,
thought he, the wind is blowing from the seaward.
Then the seer opened his eyes and the canoe was going back to Oahu. Then
the seer asked himself the reason, But just to see for himself what the
canoe men were doing, he prayed to his god, to Kuikauweke, to bring a
great tempest over the ocean.
