“…in the reign of Hakau, there was a large shell
used as a trumpet, called Kuana [Kiha-pü], that
was owned by the spirits which lived above Waipio.
This shell was blown every night and the sound
from it made Hakau angry….Puapualenalena….stole
in and jumped over the sleeping guards. Seeing
the shell….., took the shell……and ran off with
it…..one side of the shell struck a rock and a piece
of the shell was broken off……the spirits woke up
and gave chase, but they were unable to catch
the dog [Puapualenalena].”
