"'The other has run into hiding, Aimoku answered. 'This one was all we could get. "And then I knew. I knew everything. I was to be sacrificed. Anapuni had been planned for the other sacrifice.
That the high priest Eoppo was deciding them, and that she had overheard no less than Anapuni and me chosen as the sacrifices to go the way of Kahekili and his bones and to care for him afterward and for ever in the shadowy other world." "The moepuu, the human sacrifice," Pool commented. "Yet it was nine years since the coming of the missionaries."

"The coffin immediately sank, being builded by the ship's carpenter like a boat," Kumuhana confirmed. "And I, who was a moepuu, became a man once more. And I lived, though I died a thousand deaths from thirst before we gained back to the beach at Waikiki.
