When he reached the shore he first made a bargain with them: "You
paddlers, tell me what you expect of me on this trip; whatever you
demand, I will accede to; for I was not well treated by the men who
brought me here from Oahu, so I will first make a bargain with you men,
lest you should be like them."
The men promised to do nothing amiss on this trip, and the talk ended;
he boarded the canoe and set out.
On the way they landed first at Mahukona in Kohala, slept there that
night, and in the morning the seer left the paddlers, ascended to
Lamaloloa, and entered the temple of Pahauna,[17] an ancient temple
belonging to olden times and preserved until to-day.
Many days he remained there without seeing the sign he sought; but in
his character as seer he continued praying to his god as when he was on
Kauwiki, and in answer to the seer's prayer, he had again the same sign
that was shown to him on Kauwiki.
At this, he left the place and traversed Hawaii, starting from Hamakua,
and the journey lasted until the little pig he started with had grown
too big to be carried.
Having arrived at Hamakua, he dwelt in the Waipio Valley at the temple
of Pakaalana but did not stay there long.
