Plant flag signals at once around you, and bring all dear to you
inside the signals you have set up, and whoever will not believe me, let
them fall in the great day of destruction.
"When that day comes, the old women will lie down before the soles of
the feet of that mighty youth, and plead for life, and not get it,
because they have disbelieved the words of the prophet."
And because Kekalukaluokewa knew that his former prophecies had been
fulfilled, therefore he rejected the old woman's counsel. When the seer
left the chief planted flag signals all around the palace and stayed
within the protected place as the prophet had commanded.
At the end of his circuit, the seer returned and dwelt with his
daughters.
For no other reason than love did the seer go to tell those things which
he saw. He had been back one day with his daughters at Honopuwaiakua
when Kahalaomapuana arrived, as described in the chapter before.
CHAPTER XXX
Ten days after Kahalaomapuana's return from Kealohilani came the first
of their brother's promised signs.
So the signs began little by little during five days, and on the sixth
day the thunder cracked, the rain poured down, the ocean billows
swelled, the land was flooded, the lightning flashed, the mist closed
down, the rainbow arched, the colored cloud rose over the ocean.
