"The Hawaiian Romance Of Laieikawai"

Afterwards the earth shall behold a
great destruction and shall see all the haughty snatched away out of the
land; then we shall be blessed, and our seed."
When his daughters heard the seer's prophecy, they wondered within
themselves that he should prophesy at this distance, without knowing
anything about their sister's mission for which they waited.
As a prophet it was his privilege to proclaim about Kauai those things
which he saw would come to pass.
So, before leaving his daughters, he commanded them and said, "My
daughters, I am giving you my instructions before leaving you, not,
indeed, for long; but I go to announce those things which I have told
you, and shall return hither. Therefore, dwell here in this place, which
my god has pointed out to me, and keep yourselves pure until my prophecy
is fulfilled."
The prophet went away, as he had determined, and he went into the
presence of the chiefs and men of position, at the place where the
chiefs were assembled; there he proclaimed what he had seen.
And first he came to Aiwohikupua and said, "From this day, erect flag
signals around your dwelling, and bring inside all whom you love.
