He makemake loa ia i kana wahi keiki; a oia 110 hoi kekahi i makemake i kona makuakane. O ka hana mau a keia kanaka, o ka holoholo maluna o ka moku i Inia Komohana, a i kona hoi ana mai, lawe mai noia i na alani maikai, a me kekahi mau mea maikai e ae na kana wahi keiki na Wiliama.

i Oka Imna mau a Wiliama, oka hele ma ka ipuka o ka hale e nana'i, a e kuko ai hoi no ka hoi mai o kona makuakane, a po ae ana he la; pela ia e hana mau ai. Eha mahina i hala ae, aohe niea hou i hiki mai. Manao iho la o Mrs. Kelly, ua loaa ka'u kane i kekahi poino nur. Uar makau ia, me ka manao ua piho ma ka moana, a i ole no hoi ia, he pilikia e ae palm. Ua manao kaumaha loa o Wiliama no kona makuakane no ka nalowale loa.
