When all was ready Hinaikamalama went on board the double canoe and sailed and came to Kauai.
When she arrived Aiwohikupua was with Poliahu and others at Mana, where all the chiefs were gathered for the sport between Hauailiki and Makaweli.
That night was a festival night, the game of kilu and the dance kaeke being the sports of the night.[57]
During the rejoicings in the middle of the night came Hinaikamalama and sat in the midst of the festive gathering, and all marveled at this strange girl.
When she came into their midst Aiwohikupua did not see her, for his attention was taken by the dance.
As Hinaikamalama sat there, behold! Hauailiki conceived a passion for her.
Then Hauailiki went and said to the master of ceremonies, "Go and tell Aiwohikupua to stop the dance and play at spin-the-gourd; when the game begins, then you go up and draw the stranger for my partner to-night."
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.
