Hawaiian Historical Legends, The Water of Life [1], sentence 187

Aukele went back to the legendary land, the “Hidden Island of Kane,” and there lived among the ghost gods who welcome the dead as they escape from wandering over the islands and fly by the path of the sunset back to the home of the most distant ancestors—the mysterious lands in the skies of the western seas.

Who acts: Aukele, ghost gods · What happens: go back, live, welcome, escape, wonder, fly · To what, where: dead, islands
