"
Said Laieikawai, "If we go on board your canoe, do you require anything
of us?"
The seer answered, "Where are you? Do not suppose I have asked you on
board my canoe in order to defile you; but my wish is to take you all as
my daughters; such daughters as you can make my name famous, for my name
will live in the saying, 'The daughters of Hulumaniani,' so my name
shall live; is not this enough to desire?"
Then the seer sought a canoe and found a double canoe with men to man
it.
Early in the morning of the next day they went on board the canoe and
sailed and rested at Honuaula on Maui, and from there to Lahaina, and
the next day to Molokai; they left Molokai, went to Laie, Koolauloa, and
stayed there some days.
On the day of their arrival at Laie, that night, Laieikawai said to her
companions and to her foster father:
"I have heard from my grandmother that this is my birthplace; we were
twins, and because our father had killed the first children our mother
bore, because they were girls, when we also were born girls, then I was
hidden within a pool of water; there I was brought up by my grandmother.
