For the Reader "For the old Hawaiians an immortal spirit could take many forms and habitations. The `uhane, spirit, of a depart-ed one might make its presence known in the shape of a cloud, felt in the rush of cold wind, seen in the flight of a bird, heard in a dog's howl or owl's cry. It might inhabit a rock, permeating it with the strange power of mana. "In old Hawaii, man and gods and nature were very close, and the curtain between living and dead was woven of cobwebs. The curtain is still cobweb thin. The `uhane is yet a felt, seen, heard and sensed presence for many Hawaiians of today." The stories that follow are testimony to that sensitivity of spirit so characteristic of the Hawaiian people.
