Then it was that a truly diabolical scheme entered into the head of Tu-te-amo-amo. He would destroy the brother he feared, and then appropriate the woman he loved. But there must be no failure in the carrying-out of his plan ; it was essential that it should be attended with success, otherwise death for himself would inevitably be the penalty. The design adopted by Tu-te-amo-amo was not striking for its originality ; indeed, it was an artifice the narration of which is not infrequently to be fo...und in Hawa-ikian legends. Galling one sunny afternoon upon Wai-huka, he told him he was going out in his canoe to fish, and asked him to come. To this proposal Wai-huka readily agreed ; so the brothers, getting aboard of the little craft, paddled away. Going some distance from the shore the anchor — a big stone — was thrown overboard, the lines were got out, and they fished away with such success that it was beginning to grow quite dark before they thought of returning. When Tu-te-amo-amo started to pull up the anchor he artfully pretended that it had got locked in some rocks forming part of a low reef that ran out to sea near to where they had been fishing.
