Uweleka, Maaleka, and Maalaki.  He fools these guards into promising him all he can eat, and devours everything, even obscuring the rays of the sun.  In revenge the shark Kukamaulunuiakea swallows his brother.  Kaulu drinks the sea dry in search for him, catches a thunder rock on his poi finger, and forces Makalii to tell him where Kaeho is.  Then he spits out the sea and this is why the sea is salt.  The dead shark becomes the milky way.  The brothers return to Oahu, and Kaulu kills Haumea, a female spirit, at Niuhelewai, by catching her in a net got from Makalii.  Next he kills Lonokaeho, also called Piokeanuenue, king of Koolau, by singing an incantation which makes his forehead fast to the ground on the hill of Olomana.[1] After Kaeha’s death, Kaulu marries Kekele, but they have no children.

4.  PALILA

Palila, son of Kaluapalena, chief over one-half of Kauai, and of Mahinui the daughter of Hina, is born at Kamooloa, Koloa, Kauai, in the form of a cord and cast out upon the rubbish heap whence he is rescued by Hina and brought up in the temple of Alanapo among the spirits, where he is fed upon nothing but bananas.  The other chief of Kauai, Namakaokalani, is at war with his father.  Hina sends Palila to offer his services.  With his war club he fells forests as he travels and makes hollows in the ground.  When he arrives before his father, all fall on their faces until Hina rolls over their bodies to make Palila laugh and thus remove the taboo.  As he stands on a rise of ground, Maunakalika, with his robe Hakaula, and his mat Ikuwa, she circumcises Palila and returns with him to Alanapo.  When Palila leaves home to fight monsters, he travels by throwing his club and hanging to one end.  The first throw is to Uualolo cliff on Kamaile, the next to Kaena Point, Oahu, thence to Kalena, to Pohakea, Maunauna, Kanehoa, Keahumoa, and finally to Waikele.  The king of Oahu, Ahuapau, offers the rule of Oahu to anyone who can slay the shark man, Kamaikaakui.  After effecting this, Palila (who has inherited the nature of a spirit from his mother), is carried to the temple and made all human, in order to wed the king’s daughter.  He slays Olomana, the greatest warrior on Oahu, goes fishing successfully with Kahului, with war club for paddle and fishhook, then, with his club to aid him, springs to Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and thence to Kaula, Hawaii.  Hina’s sister Lupea becomes his attendant.  She is a hau tree, and where Palila’s malo is hung no hau tree grows to this day, through the power of Ku, Palila’s god.  The kings of Hilo and Hamakua districts, Kulukulua and Wanua, are at war.  Palila fights secretly, known only by a voice which at each victim calls “slain by me, Palila, by the offspring of Walewale, by the word of Lupea, by the oo bird that sings in the forest, by the mighty god Ku.”  Finally he makes himself known and kills Moananuikalehua, whose war club, Koholalele, takes 700 men to carry; Kumunuiaiake, whose spear of mamane wood from Kawaihae can be thrown farther than one ahupuaa; and Puupuukaamai, whose spear of hard koaie wood can kill 1,200 at a stroke.  The jaw bones of these heroes he hangs on the tree Kahakaauhae.  Kulukulua is made ruler; finally Palila becomes king of Hilo.
