Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ...kapa mai nei me he manii la.)" And the red star, situated in the lap of the goats (i ka poli 0 na kao) was called Makalii after the navigator's name. And some other red stars in the circle of the Pleiades (ma ka /ionaha 0 na lzuhui) were called the Huhui-a-Makalii. So they steered straight onward and arrived at the easternmost island (ka moku hikina loa.) They went ashore and found the country fertile and pleasant, filled with awa, coconut trees, etc., and Hawaii Loa, the chief, called that land after his own name. Here they dwelt a long time and when their vessel was filled with food and with fish, they returned to their native country with the firm intention to come back to Hawaii-nei which they preferred to their own country. They had left their wives and children at home; therefore they returned to fetch them. And when they arrived at their own country and among their relations, they were detained a long time before they set out again for Hawaii. At last Hawaii Loa started again, accompanied by his wife and his children and dwelt in Hawaii and gave up all thought of ever returning to his native land. He was accompanied also in this voyage by a great multitude of people (ka lehulehn), steersmen, navigators, shipbuilders and this and that sort of people. Hawaii Loa was chief of all this people, and he alone brought his wife and children. All the others came singly without women. Hence Hawaii Loa is called the special progenitor of this nation. On their voyage hither the Morning Star (ka Hokn Loa) was the special star that they steered by. And Hawaii Loa called the islands after the names of his children and the stars after his navigators and steersmen. After Hawaii Loa had been some time in this country (Hawaii nei), he made...

Not illustrated. 1917 edition. Excerpt: ...Alaila, palulu ae la na o Kauhiakama i na lima i ke poo me ka manao kaumaha i ka make, e uwe ana. Aka, hele aku la o Hinau a honi aku la i ka ihu o Kauhiakama, a uwe iho la, me ka i aku: "Ua noho an me ke aloha ia oe, a nolaila, pulehu mai nei i na wahi kalo, a me na wahi oopu maloo, a imi was greatly depressed in spirits. Hinau came forward, however, and greeted him with a kiss on the nose, remarking: "I remained behind and roasted some taro and dried mudfish for the love of you and came to search for you." These words of Hinau gave Kauhiakama great relief and hopes for life. Kauhiakama then ate of the taro prepared by Hinau and when he had finished Hinau assisted Kauhiakama to escape to Maui. Thus was Kauhiakama saved from falling into the hands of his enemies. Upon Kauhiakama's return to Maui he sang the praises of Hinau; named his house after him and also the calabashes and fish-bowls. The cultivated fields were also named after him. Everything he possessed was named after Hinau in memory of the many tokens of friendship and kindness shown to him. Several years afterwards rumors came to Lonoikamakahiki which informed him of the actions of Kauhiakama and of the naming of everything Kauhiakama owned by the name of Hinau. In consequence of this certain messengers were dispatched to Maui by Lonoikamakahiki to get Hinau. Before the departure of the emissaries to get Hinau he instructed them thus: "You go and bring Hinau by my command, and should you meet him, say to him to return to Hawaii and govern the country because I am going to Kauai, to view the trunkless koa tree of Kahihikolo. He is to be in my stead and inform him so. Should he board your canoes, take him to Alenuihaha chanuel, tear him alive in the...
