The men besides were very courteous, and the women very towardly; and they made Keola welcome, and built him a house, and gave him a wife; and, what surprised him the most, he was never sent to work with the young men. And now Keola had three periods. First he had a period of being very sad, and then he had a period when he was pretty merry.
Early the next day, before the sun was yet up, a bustle woke him. He awoke in fear, for he thought the tribe had caught him napping: but it was no such matter. Only, on the beach in front of him, the bodiless voices called and shouted one upon another, and it seemed they all passed and swept beside him up the coast of the island. “What is afoot now?” thinks Keola.
Last time I taught you to pick shells; this time I shall teach you to catch fish. Are you strong enough to launch Pili's boat?" "I think I am," returned Keola. "But why should we not take your own, which is afloat already?" "I have a reason which you will understand thoroughly before to-morrow," said Kalamake. "Pili's boat is the better suited for my purpose.
We must be home again before the steamer comes; it would seem strange if we had disappeared.” And he sat on the sand and panted. Keola went up the beach, which was of shining sand and coral, strewn with singular shells; and he thought in his heart— “How do I not know this beach? I will come here again and gather shells.”
I learned there in the burial-cave the great lesson. And to Ahuna I said: 'The spear headed with the long bone of Keola I shall take for my own. Never shall I sell it. I shall keep it always. "'And for what purpose? he demanded.
And often, when lusty manhood stung me into feeling over-proud and lusty, I consulted the spearhead remnant of Keola, one-time swift runner, and mighty wrestler and lover, and thief of the wife of a king. The contemplation of them has ever been of profound aid to me, and you might well say that I have founded my religion or practice of living upon them."
"He is a dangerous man to cross." "I care that for him!" cried Keola; and snapped his fingers. "I have him by the nose. I can make him do what I please." And he told Lehua the story. But she shook her head. "You may do what you like," said she; "but as sure as you thwart my father, you will be no more heard of.
As when hounds go by, or horses in a race, or city folk coursing to a fire, and all men join and follow after, so it was now with Keola; and he knew not what he did, nor why he did it, but there, lo and behold! he was running with the voices.
But Kalamake held up the lantern. “Look rather at my face!” said he—and his head was huge as a barrel; and still he grew and grew as a cloud grows on a mountain, and Keola sat before him screaming, and the boat raced on the great seas. “And now,” said the wizard, “what do you think about that concertina? and are you sure you would not rather have a flute?
But he warned the police at Honolulu that, by all he could make out, Kalamake and Keola had been coining false money, and it would not be amiss to watch them. Keola and Lehua took his advice, and gave many dollars to the lepers and the fund. And no doubt the advice must have been good, for from that day to this Kalamake has never more been heard of.
