And after she had chanted this, she threw herself into the sea.
But the waves did not drown her. They carried her to a far land. There were no people there; according to the ancient chant—
“The houses of Lima Loa stand,
But there are no people;
They are at Mana.”
The people were by the sea, and two who were fishermen found her. They carried her to their hut, and when they had taken the sea-weed and the sea-moss from her body they saw what a beautiful woman she was. They brought her to their chief, and the chief took Hina-of-the-Sea for his wife.
But after a while he became forgetful of her. After another while he abused her. She had a child now, but she was very lonely, for she was in a far and a strange land.
“The houses of Lima Loa stand,
But there are no people;
They are at Mana.”
