THE first glimmering of dawn rested on Waipio Valley. The moi kane , his great nobles and chief officers of state, his personal attendants, his guards, heralds, priests, diviners, bards, story-tellers, dancers, and buffoons, the whole aialo , even to the lowest menials of the court, slept the deep sleep that follows a night of heavy eating and heavier drinking.

The royal city was silent.
