He went first clear to the top of Waialala, right above Kalaupapa.
Arrived there, he clearly saw the rainbow arching over Malelewaa, over a
sharp ridge difficult to reach; there, in truth, was Laieikawai hidden,
she and her grandmother, as Kapukaihaoa had commanded Waka in the
vision.
For as the seer was sailing over the ocean, Kapukaihaoa had
foreknowledge of what the prophet was doing, therefore he told Waka in a
vision to carry Laieikawai away where she could not be found.
After the seer left Waialala he went to Waikolu right below Malelewaa.
Sure enough, there was the rainbow arching where he could not go. Then
he considered for some time how to reach the place to see the person he
was seeking and offer the sacrifice he had prepared, but he could not
reach it.
On the day when the seer went to Waikolu, the same night, came the
command of Kapukaihaoa to Laieikawai in a dream, and when she awoke, it
was a dream. Then Laieikawai roused her grandmother, and the grandmother
awoke and asked her grandchild why she had roused her.
The grandchild said to her: "Kapukaihaoa has come to me in a dream and
said that you should bear me away at once to Hawaii and make our home in
Paliuli; there we two shall dwell; so he told me, and I awoke and
wakened you.
