No koʻu ʻanakē nui kēia ʻāpana a he kiʻi o koʻu kupuna wahine (kona kaikuahine) i loko. Aia ma ka mua kona mau hua mua, he mea paʻakikī iaʻu ke ʻike. ʻO kāna mau hua mua ʻo S.F. a i ʻole S.F.J. mahope o kona mare ana.

Ma mua o kou kūʻai ʻana a kūʻai aku paha i nā kāhiko lole, e ʻike i kona waiwai. - E kāhāhā paha ʻoe i ke kumukūʻai o nā mea nani āu i hoʻopaʻa ai i loko o ka pahu lole.

Kapa ʻia kēia he "loka puke" ma muli o kona ʻano a me ke ʻano o ka wehe ʻana e like me ka puke. Manaʻo wau he keleawe kaʻu laka. Ua hana ʻia kēia laka i ke kālā, eia naʻe, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia kēlā mau mea he "Sterling" ma ke kua. ʻAʻohe hōʻailona o kēia.
