| | XI. Pele's Long Sleep |
 | | Pele, as the high chiefess of the family, first entered the water and swam far out, then returned, standing on the brink of the curling wave, for the very crest was her surf-board which she rode with great skill. |
 | | Sometimes her brother, Kamohoalii, the great shark-god, in the form of a shark would be her surf-board. |
 | | Again and again she went out to the deep pit of the waves, her sisters causing the country inland to resound with their acclamation, for she rode as one born of the sea. |
