With her eyes closed, Lan Waihu continued, "He went out with his men in search of food. I was worried about him, so I tailed them. I wanted to help but ended up being captured. They took me into a ship and tied to a pillar. They made fun of me and even insulted me. Then, I saw him by the window. He passed by the ship, so I quickly cried out loudly, hoping that he would hear me. I wanted to get his attention, but he never looked my way."
