There are, in the neighborhood of Mokini, stones which are considered petrifactions of the canoe, paddles, and fish-hooks of Paao. At Pololu, toward the mountain, are found fields of a very beautiful verdure. The old priest cultivated these fields himself, where no one since his time has dared to use spade or mattock.
To build the temple of Mokini, which also served as a city of refuge, Paao had stones brought from all sides, even from Pololu, a village situated four or five leagues from Mokini or Puuepa. The Kanakas formed a chain the whole length of the route, and passed the stones from one to another an easy thing in those times from the immense population of the neighborhood.
