Kalamake made Keola close the shutters of the windows, while he himself locked all the doors and set open the lid of the desk. From this he brought forth a pair of necklaces, hung with charms and shells, a bundle of dried herbs, and the dried leaves of trees, and a green branch of palm. "What I am about," said he, "is a thing beyond wonder.
Still, it would not do to make too sure of a warlock like Kalamake, and they determined at last to take counsel of a white missionary. So the first one that came by, Keola told him everything. And the missionary was very sharp on him for taking the second wife in the low island; but for all the rest, he vowed he could make neither head nor tail of it.
The leaves blazed with a clear flame that consumed them swiftly; and presently Keola had but a handful left, and the sorcerer was far off, running and stopping. “Back!” cried Keola. “Back! The leaves are near done.” At that Kalamake turned, and if he had run before, now he flew. But fast as he ran, the leaves burned faster.
Men had seen him at night upon the mountains, stepping from one cliff to the next; they had seen him walking in the high forest, and his head and shoulders were above the trees. This Kalamake was a strange man to see.
