She told the Chief where to dig and how to dig for the canoe that would bring Kana to Mo-lo-kai.
So he took his men to Pali-uli, and there they all began to dig. The men all thought that their labor would be in vain, for they never expected that they would come by a canoe by digging for it. They worked in the rain and under the thunder and lightning. [[141]]And when they had dug for the whole length of a day they came, first on the sticks at the bow and stern of the canoe, and then the body of it. It was a great double canoe. With much labor it was dragged down to the sea.
Then Ni-he-u and Kana made ready to go aboard it with their father and his people and sail over to the Island of Mo-lo-kai. And that night Pe-pe’e’s wizard—Moi was his name—had a dream; he went to Pe-pe’e about it. He told the Chief what he had dreamt, and it was this:
“A long man, a short man,
A stunted youth, a god-man.
The eyes touched the heaven,
The earth was o’ershadowed:
Such was my dream.”
And when Pe-pe’e asked him what the dream meant, he said: “It means that the borders of Hau-pu will be broken and that the hill will fall to pieces in the sea. Therefore, depart from this place now while your death is still at a distance.”
Pe-pe’e was very angry when his wizard told him this. “You are the one that death is close to, you deceiving wizard. And if my hill is not conquered in the coming fight, look out, for I shall kill you.”
