The scene of this legend is laid in Keaau, Puna, in which part of the country there once lived a man by the name of Keaau, who owned two leho shells (cowries) called Kalokuna. Whenever the possessor of these shells went out squid fishing all that was necessary to do was to take and expose them and the squids would come up and enter the canoe. This was Keaau’s regular occupation every day. The existence of these extraordinary shells was in time carried to Umi, who was then living in Kona. Whereupon he ordered his messengers to go to the home of Keaau and obtain possession of them, and at their demand the shells were given up and the messengers returned with them to the king.

O Keaau i Puna ke kumu o keia kaao, nana na leho ai o Kalokuna ka inoa. I ka wa e holo ai i ka luu hee, wehe ae la i ka leho a hoike iho, na ka hee no e pii a komo ka waa. Pela mau ka Keaau hana i na la a pau. Kukui aku la ka lohe ia Umi a hiki i Kona. Ia wa hoouna mai la o Umi i na elele i o Keaau la, a lawe ia aku la na leho. A lilo na leho ia Umi, hoaa ia o Keaau i ke aloha i na leho. Hoomakaukau iho la ia i ka waa, ka puaa, ka awa, ke kapa ouholowai Olaa a me ka eleuli, a loko o ka hokeo. Ia wa holo ia e kaapuni ana ia Hawaii. O keia holo ana e imi ana i aihue nana e kii na leho ia Umi.

After the shells were secured by Umi, a deep yearning sprang up in the breast of Keaau for them. After studying for a time for means of recovering the shells, he one day prepared his canoe for sea, procured a pig, some awa and ouholowai and eleuli, kapas of Olaa. The kapas he put into a calabash and then the pig, the awa and the calabash were placed into the canoe, which he then boarded and set out on a journey around Hawaii in search of some one who could steal back his shells from Umi.

A hiki i Puna aohe aihue akamai, hiki i Kau, aole no, hiki i Kona, aole no, hiki i Kohala, Hamakua, Hilo, aole no he aihue akamai. Haalele o Keaau ia Hawaii, holo i Maui e kaapuni ai, a puni o Maui, oia ana no, he aihue no aole nae e loaa na leho. Holo i Lanai e huli ai, oia ana no, holo i Molokai, kaapuni ia a hiki i Ka-lae-o-Kalaau, i laila, loaa he kamaaina e lawaia ana, ninau mai: “E holo ana kou waa i hea?” I aku o Keaau: “E imi ana au i kanaka aihue e loaa ai a’u leho ia Umi, a oia keia waiwai o luna o ka waa, he makana i ka aihue e loaa ai o a’u leho.”

All through the district of Puna he found no smart thief. He next traveled through the district of Kau, without success; then through Kona, still unable to find his man. He next touched at Kohala, and on through that district and the district of Hamakua and Hilo, meeting with the same failure; he found no one smart enough. Keaau then left Hawaii for Maui and traveled around that island; still he met the same disappointment. He found men good in the art of stealing, but none smart enough to recover his shells. He next set out for Lanai and traveled around that island, but he met the same fate. He then set out for Molokai and journeyed around it till, off the point of Kalaeokalaau, he met a man of that island who was out fishing. The man upon seeing him called out, saying: “Where is your canoe sailing for?” Keaau replied: “I am in search of a person who can steal back my leho shells from Umi. I have here with me in my canoe several valuable things which I shall give as presents to the thief who could return my shells to me.” The man replied: “You have found him. You sail on until you come to Makapuu and after you have passed that place steer your canoe for a point between the bird islands and Mokapu. When you reach that point look for the cliff which resembles the roof of a house, above, and directly below the cliff you will see a grove of Kukui trees; there you will find Iwa, the thieving son of Kukui.”

Olelo mai ke kamaaina: “Ua loaa, e holo oe a hiki i Makapuu, a hala ia mahope ou, kau pono aku ko waa i na moku manu a me Mokapu, a ku pono i laila nana aku i ka pali e halehale mai ana, he luna ia, he lalo ka pohai kukui, aia i laila o Iwa, keiki aihue a Kukui.”

(Iwa was a small boy at this time, but while he was yet in his mother’s womb he used to go out stealing. He was the greatest thief in his day.)

(No Iwa, he wahi keiki uuku o Iwa, i loko no o ka opu, hele e aihue, a he oi o Iwa ma ke akamai ia hana.)

“When you come to land, look for a small boy who goes about along the beach without a loin cloth; that is Iwa. Take out your pig and the other articles of value and lay them before him. Don’t forget this, else all your things will be stolen from you by Iwa.”

“A hiki oe, nana aku i kahi keiki uuku e lewalewa ana kahi mai, e holo ana i ka lae kahakai, o Iwa ia. Uhau aku oe i ka puaa, a haawi aku i na waiwai a pau loa, mai hoopoina oe, o pau ka waiwai i ka aihue ia e Iwa.”

After receiving these instructions, Keaau set out, and after he had sailed past the different points he came to the landing below the home of Iwa. Upon touching land he looked about him and saw a small boy without his loin cloth running along the beach. Keaau then called out to him: “Is your name Iwa?” The boy replied: “No, Iwa is at the house.” When Keaau arrived at the house he found Kukui, the father of Iwa. Keaau then asked him: “Where is Iwa?” Kukui replied: “Did you not meet a small boy on the beach running about without his loin cloth?” “Yes, there was such a small boy.” “Go back and present him your pig.” When Keaau heard this, he returned and said to Iwa: “There, you are Iwa after all; you misdirected me.” Keaau then took the pig and presented it to Iwa saying: “Here, I present this to Iwa, the thieving son of Kukui, together with the articles of value in my canoe and the canoe itself.” Iwa then said to Keaau: “Let us return to the house.” When they arrived at the house, the pig was killed and put into the oven, and the awa was prepared. After the meal was over, Iwa turned and asked of Keaau: “What is the object of your journey that has brought you here?” Keaau replied: “I had two shells which were taken away from me by orders from the king, Umi, and he has them in his possession now. I value these shells so much that I am distracted, and that is the reason of my being present here.” “We must await until tomorrow morning,” said Iwa.

A lohe o Keaau i na olelo a ke kamaaina, holo aku la ia a hala hope na wahi i olelo ia maluna, hiki aku la ia i kahi o Iwa. I nana aku ka hana e holoholo mai ana neia wahi keiki i ka lae kahakai e lewalewa ana kahi mai. Ninau aku la keia: “O Iwa oe?” Hoole mai la kela: “Aole, ei aku no o Iwa i ka hale,” a hiki keia i ka hale e noho ana o Kukui, ka makuakane o Iwa. Ninau aku la keia: “Auhea o Iwa?” I mai la o Kukui: “Aohe wahi keiki uuku i loaa mai la ia oe i ka lae kahakai e lewalewa ana kahi mai?” “He wahi keiki no.” “O hoi a uhau aku i ko puaa ia ia.” A lohe keia, hoi aku la a hiki, olelo aku o Keaau ia Iwa: “O Iwa no ka hoi oe la, kuhikuhi lalau oe ia’u.” Uhau aku la ia i ka puaa ma ke alo o Iwa: “A make na Iwa na ke keiki aihue a Kukui, o ka waiwai o kuu waa nau ia a pau loa a me ka waa.”

They retired for the night, and on daylight the next day they boarded the canoe and set out to sea. Iwa took the stern of the canoe with his paddle called Kapahi, while Keaau took the seat at the bow. After they were seated in the canoe, Iwa called out: “Kapahi, take Iwa out to sea,” at the same time he dipped his paddle into the sea. (This meant that one stroke of the paddle was all that was needed.) With this one stroke, they passed between Niihau and Kauai. Iwa then asked: “Have we arrived?” “This is not Hawaii, these islands are Kauai and Niihau.” Iwa then turned the stern of the canoe around and again called out to his paddle, Kapahi: “Kapahi, take Iwa out to sea.” When Iwa drew his paddle out of the sea they were passing outside of Kawaihoa. He then asked of Keaau: “Have we arrived at Hawaii?” “No,” said Keaau. Again Iwa took up his paddle and gave one stroke and they left Molokai and Lanai to their rear and they went floating between the island of Molokini and Pohakueaea, a point of land looking toward Hawaii. Iwa then asked: “Have we arrived?” “Yes,” replied Keaau, “but it is at that point of land where the cloud hangs over the mountain that we want to go; it is to the west of that point that Umi is now living.” Iwa then took up his paddle, Kapahi, and gave one stroke and they arrived outside of Kalaeakeahole, a point of land looking towards Kailua, where Umi had his residence. When they looked about them, they saw Umi just below them, in his canoe. Iwa then said to Keaau: “There is Umi in his canoe with the shells. Let us get our canoe to the rear and out of sight of Umi.” When they were some distance from Umi, Iwa said: “Say, Keaau, you must float right at this spot until I return with your shells.” Keaau therefore kept his canoe floating on the same spot while Iwa dove down and swam until he had reached the bottom of the ocean, then walked under water to the place where the canoe of Umi was floating, then swam up until he was almost up to the surface; and as the shells were being let down on the side of the canoe, Iwa grabbed them and took them down with him to a large coral, there he fastened the fish-line, then he took the shells and swam under water until he reached their canoe and got into it. The two then returned and landed at Leleiwi, in Hilo, where they made their home. Upon the recovery of his shells Keaau again took up his favorite occupation, that of squid fishing, taking along his shells, Kalokuna. The squids at sight of the shells climbed and entered the canoe until it was loaded down when they returned to shore.

Olelo mai o Iwa: “Hoi aku kaua i ka hale.” A hiki laua, kalua ka puaa, mama ka awa, ai a pau, ninau mai o Iwa: “Heaha kau huakai o ka hele ana mai?” Wahi a Keaau. “He mau leho na’u, ua kiina mai e ko makou alii e Umi, a lilo ia ia. Aa ia au i ke aloha, oia ko’u kuleana i hiki mai nei i ou la.” “Pela iho,” wahi a Iwa, “a kakahiaka maopopo.”

Moe laua a ao, kau maluna o ka waa a holo i ka moana. O Iwa mahope o ka waa me kana hoe o Kapahi. O Keaau mamua. Kahea iho o Iwa. “Kapahi ka moana i kai e Iwa.” (O ke ano o ia hookahi mapuna hoe.) Hele ana laua nei ma ke kowa o Niihau me Kauai. Ninau aku o Iwa: “Hiki kaua?” “Aole keia o Hawaii, o Kauai keia me Niihau.” Uli hou o Iwa i ka hope o ka waa. Kahea hou i ua hoe nei ana ia Kapahi. “Kapahi ka moana i kai e Iwa.” A kai ka hoe a Iwa, hele ana laua nei ma waho o Kawaihoa. Ninau aku ia Keaau: “Hiki kaua i Hawaii?” “Aole;” pela mai o Keaau. Lalau hou o Iwa i ka hoe ana o Kapahi, hoe hou, holo laua nei a hala hope o Molokai me Lanai, hele ana laua nei ma ke kowa o Molokini me Pohakueaea, he lae ia e nana ala ia Hawaii. I aku o Iwa: “Hiki kaua?” “Ae,” pela mai o Keaau, “aia nae i kela puali la, e kau la ke ao i ke kuahiwi, aia ma ke komohana, aia i laila o Umi.” Lalau hou o Iwa i kana hoe o Kapahi a hoe, hele ana laua ma waho o Kalaeakeahole, he lae ia e nana ana ia Kailua, kahi a Umi e noho ana. I nana aku ka hana, e lana mai ana no o Umi makai o laua nei, i aku o Iwa ia Keaau: “Aia o Umi me ka waa a me na leho, e hoemi ka waa o kaua i hope a nalowale o Umi.” A kaawale laua nei mai ia Umi mai, olelo aku o Iwa: “E Keaau, maanei oe e lana ai a loaa mai ia’u.” Lana o Keaau, luu o Iwa, a hiki i ka honua o lalo, hele a hiki malalo o kahi a Umi e lana nei, pii keia mai lalo ae a kokoke ia Umi. E iho ana na leho mawaho o ka waa o Umi. E apo ae ana o Iwa, lilo ia ia nei i lalo, a ke koa hawele o Iwa i ke aho a paa. Luu aku la a loaa o Keaau e lana ana, ea ae la me na leho. Ia wa, hoi laua a pae ma Leleiwi i Hilo, noho o Keaau me Iwa ma laila. O ka Keaau hana ka holo e luu hee me ua mau leho nei, me Kalokuna. Ka ka hee hana ka pii a e komo ka waa, hoi i uka.

(We will here leave Keaau and let us return to Umi.)

(Ma keia wahi e waiho ka olelo ana, a e hoi hou mahope ia Umi.)

After the shells were taken by Iwa and the line fastened to a coral, Umi after a time pulled up on his line, but to his surprise it would not yield and thinking that the line was entangled to the coral he did not wish to pull very strong, thinking the line would break and he would lose the shells. Fearing he would lose them he remained in his canoe all day, and that night he slept out at sea with his men, and for some days he lived there, while his men dove down to untangle the fish-line and thus recover the much valued shells. Men noted for being able to stay under water a long time were sent for, and these men were told to go down, but the best they could do was to go down three times forty fathoms, seven hundred and twenty feet, not deep enough to reach the bottom where the line was tangled. This was kept up for a week. Umi then sent out his runners to make a circuit of Hawaii to look for a man who could stay under water long enough to recover the shells. In this trip around the island of Hawaii, Iwa was found at Leleiwi, the point of land adjoining Kumukahi, between Puna and Hilo. When Iwa heard the king’s wish through his runner, Iwa said to him: “There are no shells at the end of the line. The line only is fastened to some coral in the bottom of the ocean. The shells have been recovered by Keaau.” When the runner heard this he returned to Umi taking Iwa with him and told Umi of what he had heard from Iwa. Umi then asked Iwa regarding the shells and Iwa told Umi just what the runner had told him. At the close of the report Umi asked Iwa: “Can you get these shells for me if you should go for them?” Iwa replied: “Yes,” Iwa then journeyed back to the home of Keaau in Leleiwi.

A lilo mai na leho ia Iwa, noho o Umi me ka minamina, e manao ana he mau maoli ko na leho i lalo i ke koa. Nolaila, ku moe o Umi i ke kai me na waa, a me na kanaka, noho a ai, a ia, hookahi hana he luu i na leho. Kii ia aku la na kanaka aho loa i ka luu. I ka luu ana ekolu kaau anana e pau, aole e hiki aku i lalo i ke koa i paa ai ke kaula, pela ka hana ana a hala he hepekoma okoa. Hoouna o Umi i na kukini, e kaapuni ia Hawaii i loaa ke kanaka aho loa, e pau ai ke koa i ka luu a loaa na leho. Ia kaapuni ana, loaa o Iwa ma Leleiwi e pili la me Kumukahi, i waena o Puna a me Hilo. A lohe o Iwa i ka olelo a ka elele kukini, hai mai o Iwa, aohe leho, he aho wale no ia e paa ala i ke koa. Ua lilo mai na leho ia Keaau. Ma keia olelo a Iwa i ka elele, lawe ia aku la a mua o Umi. Ninau mai o Umi ia Iwa, no na leho. Hai aku o Iwa e like me na olelo i ka elele, a pau ia olelo mai o Umi. Loaa no ia oe ke kii, ae aku o Iwa. “Ae.” Hele aku la o Iwa a hiki i o Keaau la, ma Leleiwi.

It was Keaau’s custom to hide these shells on the end of the house, up next to the curve of the rafters; and the other shells, the ones that he did not care so much for, he kept them in the house hung up on a cord.

He mea mau ia Keaau, ka huna i na leho ai, oia o Kalokuna ma. Ma ka loha o ka hale o waho, e pili ana i ka hio kala, a o na leho ai ole, i loko pono lakou o ka hale e kau ai.

About dusk Iwa made his appearance near the house and knowing where the shells were secreted he went up and removed them from the place they were hidden and he then returned to Kona, and handed them over to Umi. When Umi saw the shells he was made very happy and he then said to Iwa: “You are a smart thief, but I am not going to praise you just yet, not until you can produce my axe, which is being kept in Waipio in the temple of Pakaalana. The name of the axe is Waipu.” Iwa then made reply: “I don’t know whether I will be able to steal it or not, but I shall try.”

A poeleele, hoopuka loa aku la o Iwa i ka hale, lalau aku la i na leho a loaa, hoi aku la i o Umi la i Kona. Haawi aku la o Iwa i na leho ia Umi, a ike o Umi, olioli ia, a olelo mai ia Iwa: “Akamai oe i ka aihue.” Alia nae au e mahalo ia oe, a loaa kuu wahi koi, aia i lalo i Waipio, i ka heiau o Pakaalana, o Waipu ka inoa. Olelo aku o Iwa: “Loaa paha ia’u, aole paha? aka, e hoao wau.”

(We will here speak a few words relating to the axe and how it was kept by its guards.)

(Maanei kakou e luaana iki iho ai no na olelo e pili ana i ke koi, a me na hana a na kiai.)

This axe, Waipu, was kept by two old women. It was fastened to the middle of a piece of rope and the ends of the rope were fastened around the necks of the two old women allowing the axe to dangle between the two.

O ua wahi koi nei o Waipu, he mau luahine elua na kiai, ua hana ia he kaula, paa he poo i ka ai o kekahi luahine, a o kekahi poo hoi i kekahi luahine, ma waena ke koi e lewalewa ai.

There was a very strict kapu placed on this axe; no person was allowed to pass near the place, and during the period of time when the kapu was in force, the pigs were not allowed to run about, the dogs were not allowed to bark, and even the roosters were kept from crowing. The kapu was extended from Waipio to Puuepa, a hill between Waimea and Kawaihae. At dusk, just before it gets real dark in the evening the crier would run from Puuepa to the cliff of Puaahuku overlooking Waipio, carrying oloa kapa in his right hand, held between the palm of the hand and the wrist as a flag and would cry out: “Sleep ye, sleep ye because of the axe of Umi. Persons are kapued from walking about, the dogs are kapued from barking, the roosters are kapued from crowing, the pigs are kapued from running about. Sleep ye.” The crier was required to make five trips back and forth before daylight.

He kapu hoi, aohe kanaka maalo, aohe puaa holo, aohe ilio aoa, aohe moa kani, mai Waipio ke kapu a Puuepa, ma waena o Waimea a me Kawaihae, alaila pau. Aia a noenoe poeleele o ke ahiahi, holo ka luna kala, mai Puuepa a ka pali o Puaahuku i Waipio, he oloa ma ka lima akau, ma waena o ka iwi kano a me ka peahi, o ia ka Lepa. Penei e kala ai: “E moe e! E moe i ke koi o Umi e! Kapu ke kanaka a o e hele, kapu ka ilio a o e aoa, kapu ka moa a o e kani, kapu ka puaa aole e holo, e moe e!” Elima hele ana a keia luna ao ka po.

After Umi had told Iwa what he wanted, the sun was past the meridian. Iwa did not, however, wait for further directions but started out on his way to Waipio. Just before dusk he arrived at Puuepa and immediately started running and crying out like the king’s crier with a flag in his hand. He continued running until he reached the cliff of Puaahuku, looking down into Waipio. In calling out the way he did, the crier, whose duty it was to make the cry, was forced to go to sleep like the rest of the people, for to get up and go about meant death. Because of this Iwa was the only one about, all the people believed it was the usual crier and the crier himself believed that the king had appointed some one else to take his place. Furthermore the people could not recognize any difference; the build was the same, the flag looked the same, the voice sounded the same and the speed in running was the same.

A pau ka olelo ana a Umi me Iwa, aui ka la. Hele mai la o Iwa, a ahiahi poeleele, hiki i Puuepa, holo o Iwa me ke kahea ana e like me ka luna holo mau mamua aku, me ka oloa i ka lima. A hiki i Puaahuku, he pali ia e kiei ana ia Waipio. Ma keia kahea ana a Iwa, moe na kanaka a me ka luna mua, ala no make, hele no make. Nolaila, oia nei wale no ke kanaka hele. O na kanaka a pau, ke manao nei no o ka luna mua. No ka mea, aohe wahi lilo, oia okoa no, na kino, na oloa, na leo, na mama.

Iwa continued running from the top of the cliff down to the temple of Pakaalana and then he called out: “Are you two still asleep?” The old women replied: “No, we are not asleep, we are still awake.” Iwa then asked quietly: “Where is the axe? Let me feel of it.” “Here it is,” answered the old women. “You must come nearer so that I can touch it with my hand. I just want to feel of it.” When the old women drew nearer to Iwa, he reached out and pulled at the axe, getting it away from them. The old women then called out: “Here is a thief! The king’s axe is gone! We are killed! We had thought this was a good man!” When the people heard this, they all got up and gave chase. When the old women made the first outcry, Iwa had reached the top of Puaahuku with the axe in hand. When the pursuers reached there he had reached Mahiki. This chase was kept up until Iwa reached Puuepa. When those in pursuit reached this place, he was at Puako. They therefore gave up the chase as the country beyond that place was outside of the kapued area, while Iwa continued on until he arrived in Kona. He then slept until daylight the next day. When it was about time for Umi to have his morning meal, Iwa went up to him. When Umi saw Iwa he asked jokingly: “I don’t think you have been able to get my axe.” Iwa then replied: “Perhaps not, but I want you to look at this axe and see if it is not yours.” When Umi saw it, he said: “How strange! I thought you never would be able to get it; but here you have gotten it. You are smart.” After this Umi said to Iwa: “Here is my thought regarding you. I want you to try with my six best thieves. There are two houses to be filled in one night, one for you and one for them. If you will not be able to fill yours first, you will be killed; so shall it be with the others.” Iwa then replied: “Yes, no doubt the others will fill theirs first for there are six of them. Mine will not be filled because I am alone.”

Holo aku la o Iwa mai luna o ka pali a ka heiau o Pakaalana, kahea aku la: “Ke moe nei no olua?” “O,” pela mai na luahine, “aole maua i moe, ke ala aku nei no.” Olelo malie aku o Iwa: “Auhea kahi koi e haha aku wau?” “Eia no,” wahi a na luahine. “E neenee mai olua a kokoke i launa aku kuu lima, o ka haha wale aku ka!” Ia nee ana mai a na luahine a kokoke loaa pono aku la ke koi i ko ianei mau lima, e huki mai ana keia lilo.

Hoomaoe mai la: “Aole no paha e loaa ia oe kuu wahi koi?” I aku o Iwa: “Pela, aka, e nana mai oe, oia paha nei, aole paha?” A ike o Umi, olelo mai la: “Ka! Kupanaha, e kuhi ana au aole e loaa ia oe, eia ka e loaa ana, akamai oe.” Olelo hou mai o Umi ia Iwa: “Eia ko’u manao ia oe, e aho e hoao oe me ka’u poe aihue eono. Elua hale, aia i ka piha i ka po hookahi; hookahi ou, hookahi o lakou. Ina i piha ole kou hale, make oe, a pela hoi lakou.” “Ae,” aku o Iwa, “heaha la hoi, o ko lakou hale no ke piha, he nui lakou, a o e piha ko’u, he hookahi.”

There are six districts in the island of Hawaii and Umi had six expert thieves. While it was still daylight the six thieves went out to see what things they could steal; and when it became dark they began to steal and to carry everything they could lay their hands on into their house. This was kept up until the first cock crow, when there was very little room left in the house. At about this same time Iwa woke up and as soon as the six men went to sleep he proceeded to steal the things stolen by them of Umi’s men, men, women, children, canoes, animals and various other things. Before he could remove all the things into his house there was no space left, so he had to leave some of them. When it was daylight the next day they found that the house belonging to the six men was almost empty, while Iwa’s house was filled with the different things. The six men were therefore declared beaten and were killed in place of Iwa.
