                       Nui loa ka hoomaikai o na pio i ko lakou hoopakele, a ua makemake pu no hoi lakou e ike i kona moa, aole nae i loaa aku.

                       "Ua like no a like," wahi a ka wiwoole i pane hou aku ai, "ke ike ole oukou na ike mai la no kela i ka mea nana i haawi aku ia oukou i na hoopakele ana a nana no ia e kanana mai."

                        Ua hoopaa mai la ua poe kalepa nei no ka mahele like ana i ka waiwai i loaa kamahao mai ia lakou mai ko lakou Haku Lokomaikai aku a aole hoi lakou e hoohala i ka hoomanao ana nona.

                        I ke kakahiaka ae mahope iho o ko lakou ainakakahiaka ua haawi mai la na lawaia i ko lakou mau waa no ka lawe ana i na kamahele ma ka moana no kahi i makemakeia a ua haawi aku o Tisia alii i kona hoomaikai no ka lokomaikai i panaiia mai me ka hoike ana aole i makemakeia ke ala moana no lakou.

                         "Aka," wahi a ke alakai o na lawaia, "aole e palekana kou hele ana mauka o ka aina maloko o keia mau wahi aku nei me ka loaa ole mai i na poino i makaukau mua.  Ina e pii oe no Korino aole e nele kou hui mai me Polukula, ka weli o ia ululaau, a ina e hala kou make iaia me kana pahikaua alaila aole e nele kou koalaia iluna o ka moe hao kamahao ona.  He nui ka weli e kauia nei ma ia mau wahi nona."

                        "A ina e makemake oukou e hele ma keia wahi aku," wahi a Tisia i pane aku ai, "mauka no hoi o ka aina, mai kanalua i ko oukou hele no ka mea e hele no oukou ma ia mau wahi ma keia hope aku me ka lanakila, no ka mea ua make o Polukula i keia manawa.

                        "Na`u oia i pepehi aku a make me kuu mau lima nei no a na`u hoi hookuu aku i na pio i hoopaaia e ia."

                        I ka wa mua o ka hoike ana aku o ke alii opio i ka poe lawaia no ka make o Polukula aole i komo ka manaoio me lakou no ka oiaio o ka moolelo a ka opio i ha`i ai a no ka opiopio no hoi kahi ona, aka i ka manawa i hoike aku ai o Tisia i ka pahikaua a ka pilikua a Cario i paa pu mai ai, akahi no lakou a manaoio a mohala mai la ko lakou mau helehelena me ka olioli no ka lohe ana no ka hoomanao koke ana ae ua hala ke kanaka i kau nui ia e ka weli oiai he manawa powa wale no ko lakou i na manawa no apau e loaa ai lakou i ka pilikia.  O kolaila poe ua noho lakou me ka piliaiku mau. 

                        "Eia nae," wahi hou a ke alakai o na lawaia, "aole oe i pulumi pau aku i na poino apau, no ka mea, i ka`u nana aku e hele ana ka oukou huaka`i no Atica."

                        Ua hooia aku la o Aisia i ka pololei o ia koho ana.

                        "Alaila," wahi hou a ua alakai nei, "e komo aku ana oe iloko o ka poino i oi loa ae mamua o ka poino i hala iho la.  He mau mile no mai keia wahi aku a oukou e hele hikina ai, a kokoke no hoi ma ke alanui a oukou e hele aku ai aia malaila e noho nei kekahi kanaka loihi kino palaulau a ikaika maoli no a ma kona mau palena aole oia e hookuu wale i kekahi mea me ke ola iloko ona.  Oia no ka moi o koua wahi, wahi a ua kanaka powa nei.  A o kona inoa oia o Perifita---he inoa i kau nui ia e ka weli."

                        "He kanaka limaikaika mau oia," i hoomau aku ai ua alakai nei, "aole ana hoopakele ana i ka poe apau e hoea aku ana ma ia wahi---pau kaue ame ka wahine---pau keiki ame ka poe palupalu, a o kana mea kaua he newa hao nui no ia e hiki pono ole ai i na kanaka nawaliwali a liilii o ka ikaika ke hapai i ua newa hao nei a me ia mea oia e hakaka ai, aole he mea, hala i kana kiina, a o kona hale ua piha i na iwi kanaka a hapala me ke koko kanaka---he weli wale no ka nanaina o kona hale ke nana aku.  Ke noi aku nei wau ia oe e oluolu e maliu mai a e ae mai i ka`u, na`u e lawe ia oukou ma ka waa a hoopae aku i ke kapakai o Atica."

                        Ua lokahi koke ae la o Cario ame Casana i ka manao o ke alakai a e kau lakou maluna o ka waa i haawi lokomaikaiia mai.

                        "Pehea hoi keia e kuu mau hoahele," wahi a ka kaua wiwoole i hooho puiwa ae ai ma ka lohe ana i ka kona mau hoa hoike manao e lokahi pu ana me ka ka lawaia.  "Ina ua maka`u olua alaila ke haawi aku nei wau i ka hookuu oluolu ana ia olua mai ia`u aku."

                        "E kuu Haku aloha," wahi a Corio, "aole pela.  Aole o maua nana no maua iho; aka nou iho maua i makee nui ai a mau ke pihoihoi i na wa apau.  Ua ike wau o na mea i ha`iia mai nei e ka lawaia he oiaio.  Ua lohe pinepine wau i ke kauia o ka weli o keia kanaka o Perifita a`u i manao iho ai aole aku la he kanaka nana e hoopuhili i kona ikaika.  Eia no hoi kekahi, e hoopokoleia no ko kakou alahele ke hele kakou ma ka moana."

                        "E kuu Corio maikai," wahi a Tisia, me kona ku pu ana ae iluna a liki hou ae la i ka ili-kuapo gula e kaei ana ma kona puhaka, "ina o ko olua maka`u no`u ia ke ha`i aku nei wau ia olua e hoopau loa a e hoomama i ka uhane.  No`u iho ua makaukau wau no ka nee ana imua."

                        Ua loaa e no ka ike ia Corio ame Casana aole he waiwai o ka hoohuli ana i ka noonoo o ka opio alii, no ka mea ua paa-e no kona manao, aka, no ka nui makee o laua i kahuli ai ko laua kokua me na lawaia, alaila huli ae ua mau hoahele nei a ukali aku la i ko laua haku a hookahi ka hele like ana ma ke alahele.

                        Ua haohao nui no hoi na lawaia a me na maka aa ko lakou ku nana ana mai i na kamahele a manaoio iho la i ko lakou nele ole i ka halawai aku me ka poino.  Aka me ke kanaka opio aole ka maka`u iloko ona no keia kanaka powa hou i haiia mai ai iaia. 

                        I ke awakea ua hiki aku na kamahele ma kekahi waipuna a hala ia mahope iho o ke kena ana ua loaa aku la he puaa ahiu ma ke ela a ma ka eleu nui ka hoahele Corio i ku aku ai ka holoholona hihiu i kana kiina ihe a loaa iho la ko lakou paina-ahiahi.  A iloko o kekahi oawa hohonu i hoaumoe iho ai lakou ia po no ka hooluolu ana.

                        I ke kakahiaka nui okoa no i ala like ae ai lakou a mahope o ko lakou paina-kakahiaka ua hoomau aku la no lakou i ka huaka`i.  A hele no hoi a ku pono ka la i ka poai-wela a o ke awakea no hoi ia ua ike aku la lakou i ka holo puahia ana mai o kekahi lio kanaka me ka ikaika nui a mai hala loa no ina aole i alaiia ke alanui e na kamahele e hoomau aku ana i ka pii ana.

                        "Ma ka inoa o ka manao aloha e na keonimana," wahi a ke kanaka maluna o ka lio i pane mai ai me ka nui o ke aho a ano paupauaho, "ke noi aku nei au ia oukou aole e hoopoino mai ia`u.  He mea au i hemo mai la mai ka make mai."

                        Iaia i pane mai ai ia wa hookahi no hoi oia i kaohi mai ai i kona lio, a i ke ku aua iho o kona lio me he la e hina aku ana oia no ka nui ikaika loa o ka holo ana.  I ka nana aku aia na hiohiona kau e ka weli iluna o ka malihini---e pukala-ki ana kona lauoho, a ua nahaehae kona lole a ua poholehole kekahi wahi o kona kino, me he la i ka hakaka oia.

                        "Aole a makou noonoo e hoopoino aku ia oe," wahi a Tisia i pane aku ai.  "O ka makou wale no i makemake ai oia ka ike i ke kumu nui o kou holo ikaika ana i ka lio e like iho la pela, a iloko hoi o keia ululaau."

                        "O, e na keonimana maikai," wahi a ka malihini hololio, "ina he mau kanaka i`o oukou, alaila e oluolu e hoolohe mai i ka`u, oia hoi, maanei no huli hoi aku, a hookahi ko kakou pakele like ana.  He elua paha mile o hope aku nei i halawai mai ai au me kekahi kanaka nanaina pilikua maoli a weliweli no hoi ke naua aku no ka mea aole ke aloha me ia a oia hookahi paha ke kanaka o ia ano a ka honua e malama nei.  A no ka mama holo launa ole mai o kuu lio ke kumu o`u i pakele ai."

                        Ma ka maopopo ana ia Tisia na mea o mua aku ua pau ae la kona ninau hou ana a mahope o ka hookuu ana i ka malihini kaulio ua nee aku la ka huaka`i o na kamahele.
