Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Hawaiian Historical Society: Honolulu, H. I., 1896 This was done, whereupon the shark-god manifested himself through a halca, and expressed his grief at the action of his way ward son. He told them that the grandfather was to blame for feeding him on animal flesh contrary to his orders, and if it were not for that extenuating circumstance, he would order him to be killed by his own shark officers, but as it was, he would require of him that he should disappear forever from the shores of Hawaii. Should Nanane disregard that order and be seen by any of his fathers' shark soldiers, he was to be instantly killed. Then the shark-god, who it seems retained an affection for his human wife, exacted a promise that she and her relatives were to be forever free from any persecutions on account of her unnatural son, on pain of the return and freedom from the tabu of said son.
