AIA E NOHO ANA MA IRELANI kekahi luina me kana wahine, ame ka laua wahi keiki. O ka inoa o ua luina nei o Kelly, a o ka inoa o ka laua wahi keiki o Wiliama. He kanaka ilihune o Kelly, o ke dala i loaa mai iaia no kana hana ana maluna o ka moku, oia kona mea e malama ai i kona ohana, a ua oluolu likelakou a pau.
He makemake loa ia i kana wahi keiki; a oia no hoi kekahi i makemake i kona makuakane. O ka hana mau a keia kanaka, o ka holoholo maluna o ka moku i Inia Komohana, a i kona hoi ana mai, lawe mai noia i na lani maikai, ame kekahi mau mea maikai e ae na kana wahi keiki na Wiliama. Hoomakaukau hou o Kelly e holo hou i Inia Komohana, a i ka manawa i kokoke ai e holo, waiho aku la ia i na dala he iwakalua ma ka lima o kana wahine o Mrs. Kelly. Holo aku la ia no na mahina he nui wale, aole ia pela e holo mau ai, he akahi wale no keia holo ana.
O ka hana mau a Wiliama, o ka hele ma ka ipuka o ka hale e nana'i, a e kuko ai hoi no ka hoi mai o kona makuakane, a po ae ana he la; plela ia e hana mau ai. Eha mahina i hala ae, aohe mea hou i hiki mai. Manao iho la o Mrs. Kelly, ua loaa ka'u kane i kekahi poino nui. Ua makau ia, me ka manao ua piho ma ka moana, a i ole no hoi ia, he pilikia e ae paha. Ua manao kaumaha loa o Wiliama no kona makuakane no ka nalowale loa. Mahope iho, he kanaka e noho kokoke ana, hele maila i kahi o Mrs. Kelly, a hai mai la, ua loaa iaia kekahi nu hou kaumaha ma kana mau nupepa.
Olelo aku la ia, "O ka moku o ko kane i holo ai, ua puhiia e ka makani ino (gale of wind) iluna o kekahi ailana a-a, ua nahaha ka moku, a ua manaoia ua pau na mea o luna i ke a-leia e ka moana. O kanaka o kekahi moku e aku, o lakou kai lele iuka, a loaa na pepa, a me na apana laau o ka moku, malaila lakou i ike ai o ka moku o Kelly." Kaumaha loa iho la ka manao o kana wahine. Kulou iho la oia ilalo, uwe iho la, a ea ae la iluna me ka waimaka, a hai aku la i kana makahiapo (ia Wiliama.) I ka manawa i lohe ai o Wiliama, ua hoonui loa ia iho la kona aloha i kone makuakane, a naauauwa iho la. No ko laua mea ole nana e kokua mai, hoomanawanui ia i ka hana i mea e ola ai kana keiki. Aka, ua maikai ia, ua maikai no hoi kona ola.
Mahope iho, loaa ia i ka mai, a hanau mai la ia he kaikamahine. Ilihune loa iho loa ia, a nui ae la kona aie i ka aina. He kanaka ino loa ia, law aku ia i ka pakaukau a Mrs. Kelly, a hookuku aku la iaia iwaho o ke alanui me kona ohana.

Malaila kona wahi i noho ai no kekahi manawa, me kana wahi kaikamahine e hii ana ma kona lima, a o Wiliama maluna o kona uha. Aole ona makamaka nana e kokua mai. Ia manawa koke no huli ae la kona manao i ka makamaka maikai, oia hoi ka makamaka o ka poe ilihune a me ka poe kaumaha. Iaia i hoomaka aku ai e pule, a me ka mihi ana i kona hewa, a me ke noi ana aku e wehe mai i kona pilikia.

Aka ua oki pu wale iho no ko ia nei manao, no ka mea, ua make hoi i a(pela ka manao ia.) Ia manawa, hai aku la ka luina i kona inoa, aole nae i lohe o Mrs. Kelly i ka hai ana'ku i kona inoa, a mawaena o ka makau a me ka olioli, maule iho la ia. Hai aku la o Kelly, "Owau no keai." Alaila ala mai la o Wiliama Kelly mai ka hiamoe mai, a uweiho la lakou. "Oiai ua loaa mai na kaomi pumehana a ke aloha maluna iho o lakou a pau ia wa.
A pau ko lakou hooluu ana i ko lakaou mau lihilihi i na kulu waimaka a ke aloha, ia manawa, hai aku la o Mrs. Kelly i kona Mooolelo i kana kane, a mahope iho o ka pau ana o ke kamailio ana o kana wahine i kona Mooolelo, alaila hai mai la kana kane i kona Mooolelo, peni: "O ka moku a'u i holo ai, ua ili a nahaha ma kekahi aina a-a, ua pau ko makou nui i ka make! koe au me kakahi mau mea elua.

Na hana mua a lakou. Holo mai lakou a hiki i Kailua, halawai lakou me Liholioho ko kakou Moi II ma ke Aupuni Hawaii nei. Ia wa, ae lokomaikai aku ke Alii ia lakou e noho mai, me ka hoao nae i ka lakou mau hana mamua, he maikai paha, aole paha, i na he maikai ka hana, ae aku ia lakou e noho loa maanei, i na he maikai ole, aole he ae o ke Alii ame na 'Lii e noho mai lakou maanei, no ka mea, ua malama loa paha ke Alii ame na 'Lii i kela olelo ao a Vanekoua ia Kamehameha I., i ka la 12 o Ianuari, A.
