KE ALANUI HAO MAI KALEPONIA A NU IOKA; OIA HOI, KE ALANUI KAA-AHI PAKIPIKA.

                O kekahi o na hana nui o keia kau, oia no ke alanui hao i hoomoeia mai Kakalemenio (Sacramento), ma Kaleponia, ma keia aoao o Amerika e kokoke ana i ka moAna Pakipika nei, a puka loa aku kela welau i Nu Ioka, ma kela aoao o Amerika, ma ka moana Atelanika. Maluna o keia alanui hao e holo nei na kaa-ahi, e kauo ana i na kaa he nui wale i piha i na ohua e holo ana mai Kaleponia aku, e holo mai ana hoi mai Nu Ioka mai a Kaleponia. Eha paha makahiki o ka hapai ikaikaia ana o keia hana e ko Amerika poe, a iloko o Mei ae nei i hala ka hoopaa loa ana.

He pii uuku loa ko ke alanui o ke kaa-ahi iloko o ka mile hookahi; nolaila he nui ka imi ana i kahi pono no ke alanui i hiki aku ai maluna aku o na Mauna Pohaku a kaa aku i kela aoao o ka papu o ka aina waena o Amerika, a me ka palahalaha maikai o ke awawa, o ka Mikikipi. He moe aku ke alanui mai Kaleponia aku a Uta, a loaa kokoke aku ke kulanakauhale o Mauna Pohaku o ka poe Moremona; malaila aku loaa na piko o na Mauna Pohaku a haule aku i kela aoao.

Ua ko ka wanana a Daniela, mokuna 12:4: "He nui ka poe e holo i o a i o, a e mahuahua ana no ka ike."
