Before Waka went after Laielohelohe she commanded Kekalukaluokewa as
follows: "I shall be gone three times ten days and three days over, then
I shall return. Keep watch, and if the mist rises on the ocean, then you
will know that I am returning with your wife, then purify yourself for
two days before the marriage."
According to her determination, Waka sailed to Oahu, where the canoes
landed at Honouliuli and Waka saw the rainbow arching up at Wahiawa.
She took a little pig to sacrifice before Kapukaihaoa, the priest who
took care of Laielohelohe, and went up thither.
Waka went up and reached Kukaniloko; she draw near the place where
Laielohelohe was hidden, held the pig out to the priest and prayed, and
came to the amen, then she let the pig go.
The priest asked, "Why do you bring me the pig? What can I do for you?"
Said Waka, "My foster child has sinned, she is not a good girl; I wished
to have the chief of Kauai for her husband, but she would not listen to
me, she became Halaaniani's; therefore, I come to take your foster child
to be the wife of Kekalukaluokewa, the chief of Kauai. We two shall be
provided for, he will preserve our bones in the days of our old age
until we die, and when that chief is ours my foster child will be
supplanted, and she will realize how she has sinned.
