At the request of the one for whom the sports were given the dance was ended.
Then Hauailiki played at spin-the-gourd with Poliahu until the gourd had been spun ten times. Then the master of ceremonies arose and made the circuit of the assembly, returned and touched Hauailiki with his maile wand and sang a song, and Hauailiki arose.
Then the master of ceremonies took the wand back and touched Hinaikamalama’s head and she arose.
As she stood there she requested the master of the sports to let her speak, and he nodded.
Hinaikamalama asked for whom the sports were given, and they told her for Hauailiki and Makaweli.
And Hinaikamalama turned right around and said to Hauailiki, “O chief of this festal gathering (since I have heard this is all in your honor), your sport master has matched us two, O chief, to bring us together for a little; now I put off the match which the master of ceremonies has chosen. But let me explain my object in coming so far as Kauai. That fellow there, Aiwohikupua, is my reason for coming to this land, because I heard that he was married to Poliahu; therefore I came here to see how he had lied to me. For that man there came to Hana on Maui while we were surf riding. The two of them were the last to surf, and when they were through, they came home to play konane with me. He wanted to play konane. We set up the board again; I asked what he would bet; he pointed to his double canoe. I said I did not like his bet; then I told the bet I liked, our persons; if he beat me at konane, then I would become his and do everything that he told me to do, and the same if he lost to me, then he was to do for me as I to him; and we made this bargain. And in the game in a little while my piece blocked the game, and he was beaten. I said to him, ’You have lost; you ought to stay with me as we have wagered.’ Said that fellow, ’I will wait to carry out the bet until I return, from a touring trip. Then I will fulfill the bet, O princess.’ And because of his fine speeches we agreed upon this, and for this reason, I have lived apart under a taboo until now. And when I heard that he had a wife, I came to Kauai and entered the festal gathering. O chief, that is how it was.”
Then the men at the gathering all around the kilu shelter were roused and blamed Aiwohikupua. Then at Hinaikamalama’s story, Poliahu was filled with hot anger; and she went back to White Mountain and is there to this day.
Soon after Hinaikamalama’s speech the games began again; the game was between Aiwohikupua and Makaweli.
Then the master of ceremonies stood up and touched Hauailiki and Hinaikamalama with the wand, and Hauailiki arose and Hinaikamalama also. This time Hinaikamalama said to Hauailiki, “O chief, we have been matched by the sport master as is usual in this game. But I must delay my consent; when Aiwohikupua has consented to carry out our vow, after that, at the chief’s next festival night, this night’s match shall be fulfilled.” Then Hauailiki was very well pleased.
