Kane & Kanaloa travel on Oahu

Kane and Kanaloa came from the land of Kuaihelani on a pointed cloud and arrived at Hanauma, O`ahu. Kane was a kindly god, courteous in all ways. As they traveled about the island, Kanaloa complained of hunger and, turning to his older brother, said, Oh Kane! We keep on going and we are dying of hunger! Let us eat. Kane looked about and saw that there was no water for mixing their refreshment of `awa drink. He struck the earth with his staff and water gushed forth. When the two had eaten, they started on again along the highway. They had not gone far when Kanaloa wanted to eat again. The country through which they were passing had no water. As he had done before, so Kane again struck the earth with his staff and water gushed forth. Wherever they stopped to rest, Kanaloa asked for food, and many were the waterholes made by Kane between Hanauma and Lae`ahi.

When the two reached `Apuakehau (where the Moana Hotel now stands), they went in sea-bathing and then lay on the beach with their backs to the sun to dry. As the sun went down, they set out again to ascend Manoa Valley. Passing through Kamo`ili`ili they washed off the sand from their skin in the Papa`akea Stream. Sand said to have been left by these gods was for many years to be seen there, but today is covered over.

On their way they rested on the Ke`apapa Hill (at the place now called Punahou) and again Kanaloa teased his brother for water and challenged his ability to produce it. Kane smiled, for he could hear the noise of the water within the hill, and he thrust his staff into the ground and the water gushed forth in abundance. It has been a great blessing to the natives of that region and is said to be the source of the water on the McCully tract. This water of Kane was called the new spring, Kapunahou.
