Who could have learned his name? The courthad risen. "Yes, " he said, "the singer is true. I am Lono, and shewhom I hear is my wife. The gods be praised. " Leaping the wall, he found, as he had hoped, Kaikilani, smiling throughher tears. He held her in a long embrace. Next day they returned totheir native island, where they reigned to an old and happy age. The Magic Spear Kaululaau, prince of Maui, had misbehaved so grossly, painting thesacred pigs, imitating the death-bird's call before the do...ors ofnervous people, opening the gates of fish-ponds, tippling awa, andconsorting with hula dancers, that his father, believing him to beincorrigible, shipped him off to Lanai in disgust. Knowing that islandto be infested with gnomes, dragons, and monsters, the lad would fainhave turned the usual new leaf, but he had promised reform so manytimes and failed that his father was deaf to his pleadings. Justbefore he embarked the old high priest called him aside--he alwayshad a soft spot in his heart for this scape-grace--and entrusted tohim an ivory spear which had been dipped in the river of the dead andleft on an altar by Lono, the third person of the trinity.
