4. For the moment my interest is drawn to the stars which rise heliacally in the 9th and 10th hours, in the 5th month after equinox. Therefore I should in principle not use much effort on χ Carinae at 07h 56m (= day number 120.9). However, it seems to be at a crucial position well worthy of notice:

Ga2-21 (52)	Ga2-22	Ga2-23	Ga2-24	Ga2-25 (*120)	Ga2-26
Procyon (115.9)		σ Gemini, Pollux (117.2)	Azmidiske (118.4)		χ Carinae (120.9)

On Hawaii this was presumably the night of Kane (Tane), a night of prayer immediately before sand would start returning to the beaches (cfr at The Head of the Lion):

Rogo	Mauri	Mutu
Ga2-27 (*122)	Ga2-28	Ga2-29 (60)
ω Cancri (121.4)	Naos (122.3)	Heap of Fuel (123.1)
Sand is returned to the beach from the sea.

Maybe we should recall, from Manuscript E, the last words of the Sun King to his firstborn child:

... The king went into his house and laid down. The first child of King A Matua, Tuu Maheke, came and went into the house. He came and kissed his father on the cheek. King Hotu A Matua asked, 'Who are you?' The royal child replied, 'It is I, the royal child, Tuu Maheke'. King Hotu A Matua said, 'Ah, I wish you luck, oh King, for your sand, very fine sand, fleas [in the sand]!'

The implication seems to be that sand is connected with fleas - i.e. with a multitude of offspring waiting to be reborn. Thus when the beaches are refilled with innumerable specks of sand it is a sign of life returning. When water draws back from the beaches life can be seen, earlier water covered it all.

χ Carinae is in Hevelius' picture drawn below and a little to the right of Naos (ζ). Yet χ is rising 1.4 days earlier - at the south pole all the straight rightascension hour lines are assembled into a single point and if projected on a flat surface they will look as if they were curved:

Above χ Carinae is γ and further up to the right is λ (Alsuhail). Naos is in Puppis and χ is in Carina, while γ and λ are in Vela.

It is interesting to see that Hevelius has drawn a Sun face on the shield in the quadrangle below the line from γ to λ:
