"The Hawaiian Romance Of Laieikawai"

This cave opens and shuts at his call.
Maniniholokuaua steals the canoe of the famous Oahu runner, Keliimalolo,
who can make three circuits of Oahu in a day, and this man secures the
help of two supernatural runners from Niihau, Kamaakauluohia (or
Kaneulohia), and Kamaakamikioi (or Kaneikamikioi), sons of Halulu, who
can make ten circuits of Kauai in a day. In spite of his grandmother's
warning, Maniniholokuaua steals from them also, and they pursue him to
his cave, where he is, caught between the jaws in his haste.


PUPUALENALENA

This marvelous dog named Pupualenalena fetches _awa_ from Hakau's food
patches in Waipio, Hawaii, to his master in Puako. Hakau has the dog

himself. He has been troubled by the blowing of a conch shell, Kuana, by
the spirits above Waipio, and he now promises life if the dog will bring
him the shell. This the dog effects in the night, though breaking a
piece in his flight, and the king, delighted, rewards the master with
land in Waipio.


2. CONTESTS WITH SPIRITS

breadfruit trees of Lahaina to get the fruit that is out of reach, and
does so much mischief with the other children born on the same day with

home, and he is abandoned on the island of Lanai to be eaten by the
spirits.
