At the conclusion of the chanting of the mele by Kapaahulani, the two armies came together and the battle was declared off. The king of Koolauloa then gave over, or ceded, the districts of Koolauloa, Koolaupoko, Waialua and Waianae. When the king of Kauai heard how Kualii excelled over all the others in war, and how he had gained the victory at the battle of Honouliuli on the plains of Keahumoa, he came to meet Kualii and gave him Kauai, and by this act Kualii became possessed of all the islands from Hawaii to Niihau. A pau keia pule ana a Kapaahulani i keia pule, alaila, hui ae la na kaua elua, a hoomoe wale ke kaua. Ia manawa, haawi ae la kela alii o Koolauloa i kona mau okana Koolauloa, Koolaupoko, Waialua, a me Waianae. A lohe ko Kauai alii i ka oi ana aku o ko Kualii akamai i ke kaua, a me kona lanakila ana ma keia hoouka kaua ana ma Honouliuli i kula o Keahumoa, ia manawa, holo mai la ua alii nei o Kauai e halawai me Kualii, a haawi lilo mai la ia Kauai me Kualii, a lilo ae la na moku a pau ia Kualii mai Hawaii a Niihau.

CHAPTER III. KAPAAHULANI AND HIS BROTHER KAMAKAAULANI. MOKUNA III. KAPAAHULANI A ME KONA KAIKAINA O KAMAKAAULANI.

After the battle of the plains of Keahumoa as related in the preceding chapters, Kapaahulani, the elder brother of Kamakaaulani, the one on the side of the king of Koolau, received great riches from the king. Kapaahulani also became a great favorite with the king, and the king gave away his own lands to him; and on the same day in which the battle ended and while on their return by way of Lihue, Kapaahulani was presented with swine, food and various other things; and when they arrived at Waianae presents of property were again given him. Mahope iho o ka hoouka kaua ana i ke kula o Keahumoa, e like me ka mea i oleloia ma na Mokuna mua, a o Kapaahulani ke kaikuaana o Kamakaaulani ka mea ma kela aoao o ke alii o Koolau mai. Hooili ia aku la ka pomaikai a me ka waiwai ia Kapaahulani, a lilo ae la oia i punahele nui na ke alii; a haawi ae la ke alii i kona mau aina ponoi no ua Kapaahulani nei, a ma ka la o ka hoouka kaua ana, ia lakou i hoi ai a uka o Lihue, hookupu iho la ka puaa, ka ai, a me ka waiwai; a haule lakou nei i lalo o Waianae, hookupu no ka waiwai.

It was while on this return to Koolau that Kapaahulani remarked to the chief these words: “Here I am possessed of all this property, while my younger brother and my wife are without any knowledge of what amount of property I am in possession of.” Because of these words spoken by Kapaahulani, the chief warrior of the king, in obedience to the order of the king, picked out a certain number of canoes and loaded them with some of the presents given to Kapaahulani to be taken to his people. After the presents were loaded into several large double canoes, they were sent out to meet Kamakaaulani who was then at Puuloa, and there the presents were given him. Ia manawa, olelo aku la o Kapaahulani i ke alii: “Ke ai nei au i ka waiwai, ke noho la ko’u kaikaina a me ka’u wahine, me ka ike ole mai i ko’u puu waiwai.” A no keia olelo a Kapaahulani, alaila, wae ae la ka pukaua o ke alii i mau waa, mamuli o ke kauoha a ke alii, e lawe i ka waiwai hookupu na ko Kapaahulani poe. A nolaila, ua laweia ka waiwai maluna o na waa kaulua, a loaa o Kamakaaulani ma Puuloa, a malaila i haawiia aku ai ka waiwai i laweia ai.

Before Kamakaaulani parted from his brother they had an understanding where he would be at the close of hostilities. This was why Kamakaaulani resided at Puuloa, that being the place agreed upon by them. Thus by this conduct of theirs both sides were deceived through their duplicity. A o Kamakaaulani hoi, mamua o ko laua hookaawale ana ia laua, ua kuka mua no laua i kahi e noho ai o Kamakaaulani, mahope iho o ka hoomoe ana o ke kaua; a nolaila no i noho ai o Kamakaaulani ma Puuloa, mamuli o ka laua kuka mua ana. A ma keia hana a laua ua puni na aoao elua ia laua mamuli o ka laua nolu ana.

ABOUT THE RETURN OF THE KING TO WAIALUA. NO KA HOI ANA O KE ALII I WAIALUA.

When Kapaahulani was returning to Waialua with the king, after leaving Waianae, the king said to him: “How about the lands I gave you while we were on the plains of Keahumoa on the day the battle was called off?”

Ia Kapaahulani i hoi ai me ke alii i Waialua mahope iho o ka haalele ana ia Waianae, i aku la ke alii ia Kapaahulani: “Pehea na aina a’u i haawi aku ai ia oe i ka la i hoomoe ai ke kaua i kula o Keahumoa?” I aku la o Kapaahulani: “E ke alii, aole o’u manao aina, aole no hoi kekahi mea e ae. Aka, o ka’u mea i manao wale ai he pono i ke alii ke haawi mai, o ka halepapaa ko’u.” A ike ke alii ua pono ka Kapaahulani olelo ma ia mea, alaila, lilo ae la o Kapaahulani i puuku nui no ka halepapaa, ma ka inoa o ke alii.

After he became chief steward and had control of the king’s store houses, he took it upon himself as a duty to continuously supply his younger brother with the different good things in the store houses, in accordance with their first agreement. Alaila, o ka hana a ua Kapaahulani nei, iaia ma ke ano puuku nui no ka halepapaa, o ka hoouna mau i na mea a pau ma ka halepapaa no kona kaikaina no Kamakaaulani. A oia ka hookoia ana o ka laua mea i manao mua ai.

The genealogical tree from Kane to Kahiko contains twenty-nine generations and from Wakea to Kamehameha seventy-five generations. By adding the generations before Wakea with those after him we have one hundred and fourteen generations. We cannot, however, ascertain whether this is so, nor can we say that this genealogical tree is correct. This, however, is what is shown in the history of Kualii. O ka papa mookuauhau mai a Kane mai a hiki ia Kahiko, he iwakaluakumamaiwa hanauna; a mai a Wakea mai hoi a hiki ia Kamehameha, he kanahikukumamalima hanauna; alaila e huipu i ka hanauna mamua aku o Wakea, hookahi haneri me kumamaha hanauna. Aka, aole nae e hiki ke hoomaopopo, he pono io, a he pololei keia mau papa mookuauhau. Pela nae ka mea i ikeia ma ka moolelo o Kualii.

There are several genealogical trees in connection with this genealogy of kings; the following is one of them: He nui na mookuauhau e pili ana i keia mookuauhau alii, e like me ka papa kuauhau malalo:

In trying to ascertain the truth of the different divisions of these genealogical trees one is left in doubt as to their correctness, but in looking them over one cannot help seeing that each island had a separate tree, the Maui one being different from that of Kauai. Molokai’s genealogy differs again. In the records kept by the Molokai genealogist it is stated that Hookumukahonua was the progenitor of the royal family of Hawaii, but in the opinion of historians they generated from Wakea.

CHAPTER V. THE BATTLES OF KUALII AND THE BATTLE GROUNDS. MOKUNA V. NA HOOUKA KAUA A KUALII, A ME NA KAHUA KAUA.

The battle on the plains of Keahumoa at Honouliuli, Ewa, is described in Chapter I. In looking over the history of Kualii related in that chapter, it is thought to have been the last battle in which he took part, for in Chapter II it is shown that Kauai was simply given over by its king to Kualii, whereby the whole group from Hawaii to Niihau was united [under him]. Therefore it is believed that was Kualii’s final contest. Ua oleloia ma ka Mokuna I ka hoouka kaua ana ma ke kula o Keahumoa, i Honouliuli, ma Ewa, a i ka nana ana i ka moolelo o Kualii ma kela mokuna, ua manaoia oia ka hoouka kaua hope loa a Kualii. No ka mea, ma ka Mokuna II, ua oleloia, ua haawi wale ia mai o Kauai e ko Kauai alii ia Kualii; nolaila, ua hui na moku aina mai Hawaii a Niihau. Pela i manao ia ai, oia ke kaua hope loa a Kualii.

O ka hoouka kaua mua a Kualii i hoomaka ai ke kaua nui ma Oahu, oia ka hoouka kaua ana iluna o Kawaluna maluna aku o Waolani, oia ka luku nui ana i ula pu ai ke pili o Keanakamano. A penei ka moolelo o ia kaua ana:

Oahu had four kings just prior to the time of Kakuhihewa; Lonohulimoku was the king of Koolaupoko; Lonohulilani was the king of Koolauloa and Waialua; Lonokukaelekoa was the king of Waianae and Ewa; and Lonoikaika was the king of Kona, from Moanalua to Maunalua. While Kualii was residing at Kalehuawehe, in Waikiki, at a time when he was about to attain the age of manhood, he began to be dissatisfied with the king of Kona district, because his immediate attendants often complained of being oppressed and would come to him with the following remarks:

Eha mau alii o Oahu mamua aku o Kakuhihewa, o Lonohulimoku, oia ke alii o Koolaupoko; a o Lonohulilani, oia ke alii o Koolauloa a me Waialua; o Lonokukaelekoa, oia ke alii o Waianae a me Ewa; o Lonoikaika, oia ke alii o Kona, mai Moanalua a Maunalua.

Aka, o Kualii i kona manawa ma Waikiki, iaia e noho ana i Kalehuawehe, iloko o kona mau la e hookanaka makua ae ana, pono ole iho la kona manao i ko Kona nei alii; no ka mea, o na kahu ponoi o Kualii, ua kaniuhu mau lakou no ko lakou hooluhi ia. A no ia mea, hele aku la ua mau kahu nei o Kualii, a ia Kualii, olelo aku la, me ka i aku: “Ina no hoi paha ka waawaa o kou kino a he waawaa ikaika i ke kaua, ola nei mau iwi; aole, o ka waawaa huhewa; kai ka lilo o ka hoounauna ino i na ’lii e, hele a ukiuki. I ko wa kamalii ka hoi, paeha oe, kai no ko koa i ka wa kamalii, e mau la ia koa ou. Eia ka he koa ia no ka wa kamalii.” I aku o Kualii: “Ua kaua, ua loaa mai la ia oukou ka hua e hooikaika ai, he mau la koe ula ke pili.”

Kualii spoke up: “The night tells me that there will be war in the day time, for the king, Lonoikaika, has remarked, that we have rebelled against him, because we have come here to dedicate this temple on Kawaluna, thus taking upon ourselves something which only a great god has power to do.” Kauakahiakahoowaha replied: “Say, Kualii, since the night has told you that there will be war during the day and you say there is left us but one more pali, that of Waolani, my idea is this: let us escape by way of that pali this early morning and return to Waikiki.” Kualii replied: “Why should we run? Do you suppose that we would be saved by escaping? If we are to die in this battle, running will not save us, we would indeed die; and if we are to live, we will surely live.”

A pau na la o ke kapu heiau iluna o Kawaluna, ma ia po iho, hiki aku la ke kaua a Lonoikaika iluna o Keanakamano, no ka mea, ua oleloia e Lonoikaika, ua kipi o Kualii. A oia no ke kumu i hoomoe ai na koa ma ke kula o Keanakamano. No ka mea o ke kapu heiau ana ia Kawaluna, aole i kupono ia ia Kualii.

Ma ka pili o ke ao, hoala aku la o Kualii i kona makuakane ia Kauakahiakahoowaha: “E! Auhea oe, hoalaia aku na kanaka, eia la ua puni kakou i ke kaua, eia malalo mai o kakou kekahi kaua, a eia ma Koolau mai kekahi kaua, a eia malalo o Waialua mai kekahi kaua; hookahi wale no pali i koe o Waolani; nolaila, e hoala mai oe i na kanaka, a e hoakoakoa mai, no ka mea, ua makaukau wau no ke kaua.”

I aku la o Kauakahiakahoowaha: “Pehea i maopopo ai ia oe ua puni kakou i ke kaua?” I aku o Kualii: “Ke hai mai nei ka po ia’u he kaua ko ke ao, no ka mea, ua olelo ae la ke alii o Lonoikaika ua kipi kakou, no ko kakou kii ana mai nei e kapu heiau ia Kawaluna nei. No ka mea, he akua nui ka mea nana e kapu keia heiau.”

I aku o Kauakahiakahoowaha: “Auhea oe e Kualii, he nani ia ua hai mai la ka po ia oe he kaua ko ke ao ana ae, a nolaila, ke olelo mai nei hoi oe, hookahi pali i koe aole i paa i ke kaua, o Waolani; a eia ko’u manao, ma ia pali kakou e holo aku ai i keia wanaao, a hiki aku ma Waikiki.” I aku la o Kualii: “Heaha ka mea e holo aku ai, a holo aku auanei pakele ina he kaua no keia no ko kakou make; e holo no paha a he make, e make ana no, a ina no hoi he oia ko kakau, e ola ana no.”

Kauakahiakahoowaha again asked: “What are we to do then?” Kualii replied: “Let us remain and fight them.” Kauakahiakahoowaha remarked: “If you want to fight, you may do so, but as for myself I am going to look for a way of escaping.” Kualii then said: “You must not go; remain where you are; if you go, I may not be able to see you, for you might get killed by mistake; it is best that you stay with me and let us die together in this battle against Lonoikaika if need be.” I aku la o Kauakahiakahoowaha, me ka ninau aku: “A e aha kakou?” I aku la o Kualii: “E noho kakou e kaua.” I aku la o Kauakahaikahoowaha: “Ina i makemake oe i ke kaua, e kaua no oe; aka, owau nei la, e imi ana wau i ko’u wahi e pakele ai.” I aku o Kualii: “Mai hele oe, noho iho pela, ina e hele aku oe, aole auanei wau e ike aku ia oe, make e mai oe i ke kaua kuhewa; e aho no e noho mai oe a make pu iloko o ke kaua a Lonoikaika.”

This conversation with his father took up a good part of Kualii’s time and the day grew brighter. When it became broad daylight, Kualii looked forth and behold the pili grass was red with men; the pili grass of Keanakamano was entirely covered with men. Kualii at this time covered himself over as though asleep; he was not, however, really asleep, but he did this to show his father and their men that he had indeed spoken the truth that early morning. While the men and Kauakahiakahoowaha were sleeping they heard a great commotion from the mountain, somewhere near Kawaluna. Kauakahiakahoowaha was therefore startled and looking around he saw that the enemy was already formed for battle. When he looked down the bottom of Waolani, one wing of the army was climbing Puuiwa; the army from Koolau was coming down Kaniakapupu, while one of the wings of the army from Koolau was already on the Kalihi cliffs, and still another wing from Kona was coming up soon to meet the army from Koolau, whereby Kualii would be entirely surrounded. A no ia mea, ua lilo loa ko Kualii manawa i ke kamailio me kona makuakane ma keia mea a malamalama loa. Ia ao ana ae, i nana aku auanei ka hana o Kualii, he ula pu wale la no na kanaka i ke pili, ua pani ia iho ke pili o Keanakamano paapu i na kanaka; ia manawa, hiamoe iho la o Kualii, aole nae he hiamoe maoli, aka, i mea e maopopo ai i kona makuakane a me ko laua mau kanaka, ua pololei ka olelo a Kualii ia wanaao. I na kanaka a me Kauakahiakahoowaha e hiamoe ana, lohe ae la lakou i ka pihe uwauwa ma kuahiwi mai, ma kahi e kokoke mai ana i Kawaluna. Nolaila, hikilele ae la o Kauakahiakahoowaha, i nana aku auanei ka hana, e hoonoho ana ke kaua; i kiei aku ka hana ia lalo o Waolani, e pii ana ke kahi maha o ke kaua i Puuiwa; e iho mai ana hoi ko Koolau kaua i Kaniakapupu, a o kekahi maha hoi o ko Koolau kaua mai aia ma ka pali o Kalihi, ke pii aku nei hoi kekahi maha o ko Kona aku nei kaua a hookui me ko Koolau kaua mai, alaila puni o Kualii.

When Kauakahiakahoowaha saw this he called out to Kualii: “Say, where are you? Are you to continue sleeping, when here we are surrounded by the enemy?” When Kualii heard this he spoke from within the bed clothes that covered his head: “What can I do by getting up? There is only one thing for me to do, that is, to remain where I am till the slaughter gets here. What have we on hand to fight them with when we can see for ourselves that they have no end of men on their side. On the other hand it is entirely within reason that this battle is not intended for us.” A ike ae la o Kauakahiakahoowaha i keia mea, kahea aku la ia Kualii: “E, auhea oe? He moe mai ka kau, eia la ua puni kakou i ke kaua?” A no keia mea, pane ae la o Kualii mai loko ae o ke kapa e pulou ana: “I aha auanei ka’u pono e ala ae ai? Hookahi no paha a’u pono, o ka noho iho no a hiki mai ka luku; i aha auanei ka kakou make e hele aku ai; oia e, he wahi hapa kanaka ae a lohe mai i ka olelo, e pono ai ke hele aku i ke kaua. Malia paha aole no no kakou keia kaua.”

Ia kakahiaka, ike ia aku la kekahi luna i hoounaia mai, mai o Lonoikaika mai, a hele aku la a halawai me Kualii, me ka olelo aku: “He kaua ko keia la.” A lohe o Kualii i keia olelo a ka luna, alaila i aku la i ka luna: “I hoouna ia mai la no hoi oe i ke aha? Ina no hoi paha e makemake no ke kaua, aole a’u hana aku, kai noa ua ike mai la no ia aole wau i a’o i ke kaua; a i mea aha no hoi ia o ke kala ana ia Oahu nei a puni e kii mai ia’u e kaua ai? Ua pono no hoi ia ina la he hala kekahi; me ia hala ole no ka, o ke kii mai la no ia e luku i ke kamalii aole i oo ka iwi. E hoi oe a olelo aku ia Lonoikaika i kuu hewa.” I mai o Hema ka luna: “Ua lohe au i ko hewa. O ka lilo ana o ka heiau nau e kapu, aole ka i kupono keia heiau ia oe, he akua ka ka mea nana e kapu keia heiau.” I aku o Kualii: “O hoi a hai aku ia Lonoikaikaole, na’u e kapu keia heiau.”

Hema thereupon returned to the king and reported as follows: “Kualii told me to come back and tell you the following words: ‘Go back and tell Lonoikaikaole that I have the right to dedicate this temple.’ ” When Lonoikaika heard what Hema had to say, he became very angry and remarked: “Is this youngster who is still so young that he has no knowledge of what shame is, going to be the one to tell me that I am not strong enough? Well, we’ll see about it.” Lonoikaika then sent Hema to hasten and inform the army from Koolau to bring the wings of the armies together so as to surround Kualii. Hoi aku la o Hema, a olelo aku la i ke alii: “I i mai nei o Kualii, e hoi mai au a olelo aku ia oe, penei oia i olelo mai nei: ‘E hoi oe a ia Lonoikaikaole, na’u e kapu keia heiau.’ A pela mai nei oia i olelo mai nei ia’u.” A lohe o Lonoikaika i keia olelo a Hema, ia manawa, aole o kana mai a ka huhu o Lonoikaika, me ka i iho: “Eia ka oia wahi keiki ma’i lewalewa ko’u mea nana e olelo mai i ka ikaika ole. A heaha la hoi kana.”

Hoouna aku la o Lonoikaika ia Hema e holo e hai aku i ko Koolau kaua mai, e hui na holo o na kaua, e hoopuni ia Kualii. A makaukau ke kaua, ia manawa, nana aku la o Kualii e hoeu mai ana na kaua a pau, ua owela ka nahele; alaila ninau ae la o Kualii ia Maheleana i kona kahu ponoi: “E, auhea oe? I nei kakahiaka, ao ke kaua, ao ke koa.” I aku o Maheleana: “Aole e ku ka ikaika i keia pakela nui, ke poai mai nei ka ohu mauka a makai, ma o a ma o.” I aku o Kualii: “Elua kaua, elua o Kane laua o Kanaloa, ku no kakou la, o ka pau no ia o ia nui i ka hee.” I ke kaua e hoopuni aku ana ia Kualii, komo ae la oia i ka heiau e pule ai, a i ka pau o ka pule ana, i nana aku ka hana o Maheleana, ua kokoke loa ke kaua. Ia manawa, lalau ae la o Kualii i kana laau palau ia Manaiakalani, a haawi aku la ia Maheleana, me ka i aku: “Eia kuu laau palau, puka aku oe a komo iloko o ke kaua a Lonoikaika.”

As directed by Kualii, Maheleana went forth and began the slaughter of the people with such courage that the enemy retired from before him and ran directly toward Lonoikaika. When these people withdrew the whole of the enemy retreated, those on the pali of Waolani fell over like pebbles down the pali. Kualii then slew almost all the chiefs on Lonoikaika’s side. The dead bodies were strewn around like logs of wood, so great was the number of those that were killed in this battle. Kualii was therefore victorious in this his first battle and he became the owner of all the land from Moanalua to Maunaloa. Shortly after this Kualii went and lived in Kailua, Koolaupoko, in a great palace called Kalanihale. E like me ka Kualii olelo, puka ae la oia a luku aku la me ka laau palau, a hee aku la ke kaua ma kona alo ponoi aku ke kaua ia Lonoikaika; na lakou i hee, hee na kaua a puni; o ke poe kaua ma ka pali o Waolani, hiolo aku la lakou me he iliili la ilalo o ka pali, luku aku la o Kualii a pau loa na ’lii ma ko Lonoikaika aoao. Ahu aku la na kanaka make me he pauku laau la, ka heana o ka poe make ia kaua ana; a lanakila ae o Kualii ma ia hoouka kaua ana, a oia ka hoouka kaua mua a Kualii, a lilo ae la ia Kualii ka aina mai Moanalua a Maunalua. Mahope iho o ia manawa, hoi aku la o Kualii i Kailua ma Koolaupoko, a malaila oia i noho ai, maloko o kona hale nui o Kalanihale.

I kekahi manawa mahope mai, ao ae la o Kualii laua me Maheleana, kona kahu, a hoa kaua pu hoi, i ka hahau palau ana, a lawe ae la oia ia Kahai, a me Malanaihaehae i mau pu kaua nona, ao iho la lakou nei i na mea kaua a pau a makaukau. Ia manawe mahope iho, holo ae la o Kualii me kona mau pu kaua i Kauai, no ka manao e loaa ia lakou ka laau palau no lakou malaila. A ma ia hele ana, ua loaa ko lakou makemake, a hoi mai la lakou me ua mau laau palau la, a kapa aku la o Kualii i kana laau o Hulimokualana.

On their return from Kauai, Kualii desired to land at Kamaile, Waianae, but upon arrival there he found that the place was already prepared for battle under the command of the chief of Waianae and Ewa, the Koolau chief and his army had also arrived there and all were waiting for Kualii’s return from Kauai when they would engage him. Hoi mai la o Kualii mai Kauai mai a pae ma Kamaile i Waianae. Aia hoi, ua hoonoho mua ia ke kaua e ko Waianae alii a me ko Ewa, a o ko Koolauloa alii mai me kona kaua. E kali ana o ka hoi mai o Kualii mai Kauai mai, alaila o ka hoomaka no ia e kaua.

While out at sea some distance from land Kualii, by his supernatural powers, knew beforehand that Waianae was surrounded by an army which was waiting for him. So he remarked to Malanaihaehae and Maheleana: “Say, Waianae is surrounded by an army that is ready to fight us as soon as we make a landing.” Before Kualii had sailed for Kauai he ordered his men to come and meet him at Waianae upon his return from Kauai, but when Kualii and his fellow travelers arrived outside of Kamaile they saw the place surrounded by an army. Upon seeing this they laid off in their canoes all that day and night. In the morning when Kualii looked he saw the pili grass of Kamaile was completely covered by the people. A waena moana, ike e no o Kualii ua puni o Waianae i ke kaua hoomoemoe. Ia manawa, olelo aku la o Kualii ia Malanaihaehae laua me Maheleana: “E, ua paa uka o Waianae i ke kaua, i hakalia no ia kakou a pae o ka hoomaka no ia o ka luku.” No ka mea, ua ike e no o Kualii i keia mau mea ma kona ano akua. A o Kualii hoi, mamua o kona holo ana i Kauai, ua kauoha oia i kona mau kanaka e imi mua mai, ke hiki aku i na la e hoi aku ai o Kualii mai Kauai mai. Aka, ia Kualii ma i pae aku ai ma Kamaile, aia hoi ua puni i ke kaua; a no ia mea, lana iho la na waa iloko o ke kai a po ia la, a ao ia po. Ia kakahiaka ana ae, i nana aku auanei ka hana o Kualii ma, ua uhi ia mai ke pili o Kamaile e na kanaka.

While on the canoes that morning Kualii, upon seeing the people, addressed them in the following words: “You no doubt want to fight Kualii, but where will the battle be?” The people from the shore replied: “As soon as the canoes land the fighting will commence.” Kualii answered back: “Let us go to Kalena and fight there. If you insist on fighting here the canoes will continue by sea and land at Molokai.” Because of this request of Kualii to go to Kalena and there fight, the chiefs of Waianae consented because it was but a reasonable request. Kualii, Maheleana and Malanaihaehae therefore came ashore and proceeded by land to Malamanui. All that night both sides took a long rest; but early in the morning the fighting commenced at Kalena on the plains of Haleauau, at Lihue. On the one side there were twelve thousand men, while on Kualii’s side there were but three men, and yet the armies of the chiefs of Waianae and Koolauloa were routed. Kualii named this the battle of Kalena. Iluna no o na waa ma ia kakahiaka, pane aku la o Kualii: “A he makemake kaua me Kualii, ihea e kaua ai?” Olelo mai la o uka: “Pae no na waa i uka nei, o ke kaua no ia.” I aku la o Kualii: “Ho aku kakou iuka o Kalena, ilaila e kaua ai. Ina ia nei no kakou ma ka moana loa no e hele ai na waa, o Molokai ke awa.” A no keia olelo a Kualii, iuka o Kalena e kaua ai, ae aku la ko Waianae mau alii. A nolaila, pae aku la lakou iuka, o Kualii, o Maheleana o Malanaihaehae. Hele aku la lakou mauka a noho i Malamanui. Ia po a ao ae, ma ke kakahiakanui, o ka hoouka iho la no ia o ke kaua ma Kalena, i ke kula o Haleauau ma Lihue. Ma keia aoao mai he ekolu mano ka nui; a ma ko Kualii aoao hoi, ekolu wale no lakou, a o ka hee iho la no ia o na alii o Waianae a me Koolauloa; a kapa iho la o Kualii ia hoouka kaua ana o Kalena.

A few days after this three more battles were fought, at Malamanui, Pulee and Paupauwela. These were the greatest of the battles fought by Kualii in all the Oahu contests. Sometime after he had conquered the whole of Oahu he heard that there was a battle in Hilo, Hawaii; he therefore made up his mind to make a trip to Hawaii with his chief warriors. When Haalilo heard that Kualii had arrived at Laupahoehoe he immediately prepared for war, so that when Kualii reached Peahi in Hilo he ran into Haalilo and the battle commenced. It was of but short duration and Kualii was victorious. When the chiefs of Puna heard that Haalilo was beaten they too fell back. A ma kekahi mau la ae, he mau hoouka kaua ma Malamanui, ma Pulee, a ma Paupauwela, oia ka hoouka nui ana a Kualii i oi aku mamua o na hoouka kaua a pau ma Oahu nei. I kekahi mau manawa mahope mai o kona ai ana ia Oahu, lohe ae la oia, he kaua ma Hilo i Hawaii; nolaila, hele aku la oia i Hawaii me kona mau pukaua. A lohe o Haalilo, ua hiki aku o Kualii ma Laupahoehoe, alaila, hoomakaukau ae la oia no ke kaua. A hiki aku la o Kualii i Peahi ma Hilo, halawai koke ae la o Kualii me Haalilo, a o ka hoomaka iho la no ia o ke kaua, a lanakila ae la o Kualii; a lohe aku la na ’lii o Puna, ua hee o Haalilo, hee honua aku la ko Puna mau alii.

Shortly after this word was brought to Kualii at Hilo that the chiefs of Oahu had again risen against him and were ready to dispute his title as king of Oahu. Upon hearing this Kualii returned from Hilo to Oahu and found upon his arrival that all the people, together with the rebellious chiefs, had gone to Waianae to hold a council of war with the one set purpose of fighting him. When Kualii heard that all the chiefs were gathered at Waianae, he continued on with his chief warriors for that place. Upon arrival at the seat of war they looked and saw that the rebellious chiefs had indeed a very large army. No time was lost, however, for the battle immediately commenced, and again Kualii was victorious. After the battle Kualii and his chief warriors looked over the battle ground and saw that a very large number of men had been killed, so much so that the waters of Kalapo were dammed and a large number of dead bodies were strewn below Eleu. Because of this great victory certain lines of mele were composed by his attendants which read as follows: A mahope iho o ia manawa, hiki aku ka lohe ia Kualii, ua kipi hou na ’lii o Oahu nei. Ia manawa, hoi mai la o Kualii mai Hilo mai a hiki ma Oahu nei, ua pau loa na kanaka a pau me na ’lii kipi ma Waianae kahi i noho ai, ua hui ae la na ’lii mua o Oahu nei a pau me ka manao lokahi, e kipi aku ia Kualii.

A o ka hoouka kaua iho la no ia, a lanakila iho la o Kualii ma ia hoouka ana. Aka, ma ka nana aku a Kualii ma i ka nui i make ma ia hoouka ana, ke paa la ka wai o Kalapo, a nui no hoi na kupapau malalo o Eleu. A nolaila ua hoike ia kekahi mau lalani mele ma ka haku ana a kona mau kahu e like me ke ano o ia hoouka kaua ana malaila, a penei no ia:

A battle for Ku, Beating his enemy on the heights of Kawaluna. Where, where is the battle field Where the warrior is to fight? On the field of Kalena, 5 At Manini, at Hanini, Where was poured the water of the god At Kahana, at Malamanui; On the heights of Kapapa, at Paupauwela, Where they lean and rest; 10 At the hala trees of indolent Halahalanui, At the ohia grove of Pule-e, The god of Lono, of Makalii, The fragrant branch of the Ukulonoku, Mayhap from Kona, from Lihue, 15 For the day at Maunauna, For the water at Paupauwela; Growing low at Nepee, At the slaughter of Aui, Where the priests joined in the battle. 20 Ku is arrayed in his feather cloak, The sun-lighted rain in the heavens, The sun at Kauakahihale. Red is the leaf of the mamane, The koaie of Kauai; 25 The sea grass has been stripped by Ku— The waving [grass] of Kamaile; The towering surf of Maihiwa, Which dammed up the waters of Halapo. The breaking up is below at Eleu, 30 The rain is drawn away to the sky, Like a full retreat from the mountain; It must be the defeat of Hilo by Puna, There at Hilo is Peahi. Red is the water of Paupauwela, 35 From the slain at Malamanui, The slain on the ridge at Kapapa. The tidings reached Haalilo Your younger brother is beaten. Haalilo is sore at heart, 40 For Ku has left but few of the priests; They are beaten by Ku, The children of Haalilo. Here is Malanaihaehae, Offspring of mischief-making Niheu, 45 The dammer of the waters of Kekeuna. A prodigy among the people. He is girding on his robe, He is whirling his weapon [in the air], The war club is caught in his robe. 50 Here is Haalilo, Ku is indeed king. He kaua na Ku, E uhau ana iluna o Kawaluna.

CHAPTER VI. RELATING TO KUALII’S TRIP TO HAWAII. MOKUNA VI. NO KA HOLO HOU ANA O KUALII I HAWAII.

Sometime after the battles spoken of in Chapter V were fought, where Kualii maintained his title of king of Oahu, after the land matters were satisfactorily arranged, he again set sail for Hawaii and landed in Hilo where he took up his residence for some time. While there word was brought to him of wars on Molokai, where several pitched battles had been fought and the chiefs were in conflict with one another all the time. The cause of all the trouble was this: The chiefs on the Koolau side of Molokai were anxious to get possession of Kekaha, a stretch of country from Kawela to Maamomi; and the reason why these chiefs were so desirous of getting possession of this section of country was on account of the fishing. But the chiefs of Kekaha, knowing the value of these fishing grounds, were determined to hold on to them; so this determination on their part caused a general internal conflict at this time. Mahope mai o kela mau hoouka kaua ana i olelo ia ma ka Mokuna V, a me ko Kualii lanakila ana, a pau ka hooponopono ana i ka aina, alaila, holo hou aku la o Kualii i Hawaii, a ma Hilo oia i noho ai. A liuliu kona noho ana malaila, alaila, kui aku la ka lono o ke kaua ma Molokai, ua kaua aku a kaua mai a pono ole ka noho ana o na ’lii. No ka mea, o na ’lii o Koolau o Molokai, ua makemake nui loa lakou e lilo Kekaha ia lakou, mai Kawela a Maamomi, no ka mea, o ka ia ke kumu o ko lakou manao nui ana i kela wahi; aka, ua paa no i na ’lii o Kekaha, a nolaila i kipi ai na ’lii o Molokai ia manawa.

When Kualii heard of this general conflict on Molokai, he left Hilo and set sail for Molokai. On the way Kualii touched at Honokawai in Kaanapali, Maui, where a chief by the name of Paepae arrived at the same time. This Paepae was one of the chiefs of Kekaha, and the reason why he had come to Maui was to enlist Kauhi, one of the chiefs of Maui, to come to their aid. This Kauhi was the son of Kauhiakama, the younger brother of Kamalalawalu. Upon Paepae’s arrival at Kaanapali he was told that Kualii had already arrived there. Upon hearing this he went to ascertain whether it was really the Kualii who was noted for his great strength. That was the sole purpose of Paepae’s visit to see and be assured that it was Kualii. A no keia mea, lohe ae la o Kualii i keia kaua ma Molokai, haalele aku la oia ia Hilo, a holo mai la i Molokai. Hiki mai la o Kualii ma Honokawai, i Kaanapali ma Maui, ua puka aku o Paepae i Kanapaali ia manawa. O ua Paepae nei, oia kekahi alii o Kekaha ia manawa. A o ke kumu o kona hiki ana i Maui, i kii aku ia Kauhi, kekahi alii o Maui, he keiki ua o Kauhi na Kauhiakama, ke keiki o Kamalalawalu. Ia Paepae i hiki mai ai ma Kaanapali, ia manawa, lohe ae la oia o Kualii keia, ua hiki aku ma Kaanapali, a hele aku la oia e ike maopopo ia Kualii, no ka mea ua kaulana o Kualii no ka ikaika, a oia wale no ke kumu o ko Paepae hele ana e ike maopopo.

When Paepae saw for himself that it was indeed Kualii he decided there and then to abandon his first idea of enlisting Kauhi’s aid, and left in haste for Kekaha to notify the chiefs of his discovery and to ask their consent to the change in the programme. Upon his arrival at Kaunakakai he found that all the chiefs of Kekaha had gone to Kalamaula preparing for another battle to commence upon the arrival of Kauhi. But when Paepae arrived at Kalamaula the chiefs saw that Paepae had returned alone and so were anxious to hear what he had to say about his mission. A ike aku la o Paepae o Kualii io keia, nolaila, haalele oia i kona manao mua e kii ia Kauhi. A no keia mea, hoi koke aku la oia a hai aku la i kekahi mau alii o Kekaha, o Kualii keia. Ia ia i hiki aku ai ma Kaunakahakai, aia na ’lii a pau o Kekaha ma Kalamaula, e hoomakaukau ana no ka hoouka kaua ke hiki mai o Kauhi. Aka, ia Paepae i hiki aku ai ma Kalamaula, ike mai la na ’lii ua hoi aku o Paepae; a no ia mea, nana mai la na ’lii i ka hope o ka Paepae olelo.

When Paepae came up to the chiefs he was asked: “Where is Kauhi, the chief?” Paepae replied: “I left here with my mind fully made up to procure Kauhi, but upon my arrival at Kaanapali I met Kualii, the king of Oahu, so I returned to inform you of this fact and to urge upon you to try and enlist him on our side, else the Koolau chiefs will get him first.” When the chiefs heard this they urged upon Paepae to again set sail, and also sent Kapolei, daughter of Keopuolono, to entertain Kualii. Early that morning Paepae reached Kaanapali, but to his surprise found that Kualii had already left for Molokai at dawn. A halawai o Paepae me na ’lii ninau mai la lakou: “Auhea ke alii o Kauhi?” I aku la o Paepae: “Ua hele aku nei au me kuu manao ia Kauhi, aka, halawai koke aku nei wau me ke alii o Oahu me Kualii ma Kaanapali, nolaila hoi mai nei wau e hai aku ia oukou, e kii aku ia Kualii e lawe mai ma ko kakou aoao, o lilo e ae auanei i ko Koolau mau alii.” A no ia mea, hoolale hou na ’lii ia Paepae e holo, a hoouna pu aku la ia Kapolei ke kaikamahine a Keopuolono, i mea hoolealea ia Kualii.

Upon hearing that Kualii had already left for Molokai, he boarded his canoes again and returned in haste. While in mid-channel he saw the flapping of the sails of canoes inside of the reef at Kamalo, so Paepae followed in. Before the several things in Kualii’s canoes could be taken ashore and before the canoes could be hauled on the beach, Paepae arrived and moored his canoe at the stern of Kualii’s canoes. Without further delay Paepae told Kualii the object of his errand in the following words: “I have come to entreat you to come to our rescue. The chiefs of Koolau have taken up arms against us with the intention of taking away from us our lands from Kawela to Maamomi. Because of this desire on their part we have had several disputes and a battle is about to commence. A minor engagement has already taken place, however, in which we were beaten. The majority of the chiefs are encamped on the top of Maunaloa.” Ma ia wanaao no hiki aku la o Paepae i Kaanapali, aka, ua hala mai o Kualii ia wanaao no i Molokai. A lohe o Paepae, ua hala mai o Kualii, hoi hou mai la no oia, a iwaena moana, ike aku la oia e kilepalepa ana ka pea o ka waa, maloko o kuaau i Kamalo, a malaila no o Paepae i hiki mai ai. Aole i pau na ukana o na waa o Kualii i ka lawe i uka, e hekau ana no i kai no ke kai a maloo, hiki ana o Paepae a hekau pu na waa me ko Kualii, a pili muku na waa. Ia manawa, hoomaka koke no o Paepae e hai i kana olelo i huli aku ai ia Kualii, me ka i aku: “I kii mai nei wau ia oe e kokua ia makou. Aia na ’lii la o Koolau, ua kipi mai nei ia makou, e ake ana ko Koolau mau alii, e lilo ko makou mau aina mai Kawela a Maamomi; a nolaila, ua kue aku a kue mai makou e noho nei, a o ke kaua wale no koe; ua hoomaka mua iho nei no nae i ke kaua, a ua hee makou, o ka nui o na ’lii aia iluna o Maunaloa kahi i noho ai.”

When Kualii heard this he immediately gave his consent and the canoes were again put to sea and they set sail for Kaunakakai where they arrived in due time. A council was then held by the chiefs, at the close of which they set out. The men were embarked on the canoes, while the Molokai chiefs and Kualii went by land until they reached Maamomi, where Kualii and the chiefs took the canoes and set sail for Kalaupapa. A lohe o Kualii i keia olelo o ka ae koke no ia, a holo aku la lakou a kau ma Kaunakahakai, a kukakuka ae la me na ’lii; a pau ke kuka ana, o ka hele koke iho la no ia, maluna o na waa na kanaka, mauka na ’lii o Molokai me Kualii, a hiki ma Maamomi, a malaila kau aku la o Kualii ma me na ’lii maluna o na waa a hiki i Kalaupapa.

When the chiefs of Koolau heard that the war was to be carried into Kalaupapa, the war canoes were put out from Halawa and from all the Koolau side to go to battle. But Kualii and his chief warriors, Maheleana and Malanaihaehae, with two other warriors had already encountered the chiefs residing at Kalaupapa and had defeated these chiefs. But other chiefs of Koolau and Kona with their men arrived soon after this who were prepared to continue the battle against the chiefs of Kekaha. In this battle Paepae was very conspicuous both in strength and bravery, so much so that he and his force surpassed the chief warriors of Kualii. When Kualii and his followers were victorious over all the chiefs of Molokai all the lands on the Koolau side came into Paepae’s possession. This victory was not, however, gained through the use of the war clubs, but through the use of Kualii’s stone axe named Haulanuiakea. Following is the story of the destruction of the enemy by Kualii with the blade of the axe. I ka lohe ana aku o na ’lii o Koolau ua hiki aku ke kaua ma Kalaupapa, nolaila holo mai la na waa kaua mai Halawa mai, a me Koolau a puni no ka hoouka kaua. Aka, ua hoouka mua aku o Kualii me kona mau pukaua me Maheleana a me Malanaihaehae a me kekahi mau pukaua e ae elua. A make pio iho la na ’lii e noho ana ma Kalaupapa ia manawaa. A hiki mai la kekahi mau alii e ae o Koolau a mai Kona mai kekahi mau alii me na kanaka i makaukau no ka hoouka kaua i na ’lii o Kekaha. Aka i ka hoouka kaua ana no, alaila ua oi aku ko Paepae ikaika a me kona koa mamua o na pukaua a Kualii. A lanakila ae la o Kualii ma maluna o na ’lii o Molokai a puni, a lilo ae la ka aina ia Paepae a puni o Koolau. Aka, aole me ka luku i ka laau palau kela lanakila ana, ua lanakila i ka luku ana a Kualii me ka maka o ke koi ana o Haulanuiakea ka inoa, he koi pohaku. A penei ka moolelo o ka luku ana a Kualii me ka maka o ke koi.

While Kualii and his followers were floating in their canoes over the sand bar at Kalaupapa the soldiers from Koolau swam out to the canoes of Kualii with the intention of capturing them; there were some forties in number. When they got to the canoes they took hold of them and lifted them onto their shoulders. While this was being done Kualii rose with his axe in hand and swung it along one side of the canoes killing those on that side, which caused the canoes to lean toward that side as the canoes were then on the shoulders of the men. When Malanaihaehae saw that the people on one side of the canoes were all slain, he rose and reached for the axe which was being held in Kualii’s hand and swung it along the other side of the canoes, which slew all the people on that side; and the canoes again fell on even keel in the sea and floated as before. Ia Kualii ma e lana ana ma kahi one i Kalaupapa, au aku la na koa, a lalau i ka waa o Kualii e hoopio, he mau kanaha kanaka ka nui, a auamo ae la i na waa o Kualii. Ia wa, ku ae la o Kualii me kana koi a hili iho la me ka maka o ke koi ma kekahi aoao o na waa, a hio aku la kekahi waa i lalo oiai ua amo ia na waa. A ike mai la hoi o Malanaihaehae, ua pau na kanaka o kekahi aoao i ka make. Alaila, ku ae la ua Malanaihaehae nei, a lalau mai la i ke koi ma ko Kualii lima e paa ana, a oki iho la ma kekahi aoao, a pau aku la na kanaka i ka make, a haule iho la na waa i ke kai, a lana e like me mamua.

Not very long after this some more of the enemy came along, equal in number to those that had been slain, and again lifted up the canoes of Kualii just as the others had done, without any signs of fear, although the others were floating around dead. Again the axe was used with deadly effect and again Kualii and his followers were victorious by the use of the blade of Haulanuiakea. This was kept up until the whole army was slain. At the final battle which was fought at Pelekunu, Kualii left the fighting to Paepae and Malanaihaehae. Again Paepae showed his quality by routing the whole army. After this great slaughter at Pelekunu, Paepae stood up in the canoe and spoke to the people in a boastful manner saying: “You are all slain by the war club of Kualii.” At these words the people were for the first time made aware of the fact that it was Kualii that had killed their men. The chiefs of Koolau then gave up to Kualii the whole of Molokai. It was this battle that a few lines of the Kualii mele speaks of in Chapter I, which run as follows: Aole no i liuliu, hiki hou mai la no he mau kanaka hou, ua like no ka nui me na kanaka mua i make, a lawe ae la no i na waa o Kualii iluna e like me ka auamo mua ana no a kela poe, me ka makau ole mai i keia poe e make ana.

They brought forth Kanaenae that dwells on the mountain, The Hinihini that sings on the high mountain. 5 Broken on the front seat of the canoe, That is [Molokai] torn asunder, Deserted by Kanaloapuna, Kanaloawaia, [There is] death if you run toward the mountains; 10 [There is] death if you run toward the sea. Luukia is suffering headache, Made sick by the unpleasant sensation of pregnancy Conceiving the child.

In this mele the battles fought by Kualii as related in this chapter are spoken of. After Kualii had made a new division of the lands, he then left Paepae and Manau his wife in charge of the island of Molokai subject to his further pleasure. Kualii then returned to Oahu and went to live in Kailua, Koolaupoko, in his palace called Kalanihale. O Kuku, o Aa, O Haulanuiakea ke koi.

CHAPTER VII. KUALII’S RETURN TO OAHU FROM MOLOKAI. MOKUNA VII. HOI O KUALII I OAHU MAI MOLOKAI AKU.

After Kualii completed the redivision of the lands of Molokai, those pertaining to the chiefs as well as to the people, he returned to Oahu accompanied by his companions, his chief warriors. Upon arriving from Molokai he proceeded on his way to Kailua where he found that the chiefs and people were all living in peace. After residing on Oahu for some time Kualii again set out for Hawaii and again took up his residence in Hilo, this being the third time that he decided to go and live there. After Kualii had been living in Hilo for some time word was brought to him that war had broken out on Lanai, caused by Kauhi, son of Kauhiakama; the chief of Lanai having taken up arms against the son of Kauhiakama, one of Kamalalawalu’s ministers. Following is the story of this battle: Haloalena, the chief of Lanai, was considered a very good ruler. His great favorite pastime was the collection of the skeletons of birds. When the chief’s bird tax was about due it was the usual custom of the agents to go out and proclaim the chief’s wishes. Following was the proclamation announced by the agents: Mahope iho o ka pau o ka Kualii hooponopono ana ia Molokai, a me ka hooponopono ana i na ’lii a me na kanaka, alaila, hoi aku la o Kualii i Oahu me kona mau hoa hele, kana mau pukaua hoi. Ia hoi ana mai a Kualii mai Molokai mai, a noho ma Kailua, e mau ana no nae ka pono o ka noho ana o na kanaka a me na ’lii, a he mau manawa mahope mai o ka noho ana ma Oahu, alaila hoi hou aku la o Kualii i Hawaii a noho hou ma Hilo, oia ke kolu o ko Kualii hiki ana ma Hilo. Noho iho la o Kualii ma Hilo ia manawa, a he mau malama mahope mai, lohe hou aku la no ua o Kualii he kaua ma Lanai me Kauhi, keiki a Kauhiakama, no ka mea, ua kipi mai la ke alii o Lanai i ke keiki a Kauhiakama kekahi kuhina o Kamalalawalu. A penei ka moolelo o ke kaua ana. I kekahi manawa, he alii maikai o Haloalena, a o ka puni punahele a ua alii la, o ka manu iwi. I ka manawa e hiki aku ai ka auhau manu a ke alii, alaila, he mea mau i ka luna a ua alii nei ka hele e kala aku i ka olelo a ua alii nei e like me kona makemake. A penei e kala hele aku ai ua luna nei:

Tomorrow cook the food.

The following day,

[Is] the snaring of birds for the king.

Pick the feathers off the birds,

Pick all the meat,

Be careful with the bones lest you break them.

If the bones are broken and you are a chief of a district

You shall no longer be a district chief;

You shall no longer be chief of that ahupuaa;

If it be a common farmer who breaks the bones of the bird,

Death shall be his portion.

Apopo-e, kahu ke-o.

Ia po iho a ao a-e,

He hoohei manu na ke alii-e.

E hukihuki ka hulu o ka ma-nu,

E lawe ka io a pa-u,

E malama i ka iwi o ha-i;

Ina i hai ka iwi o-ka manu, a he aimoku i-a,

E pau kona aimoku a-na;

Ina he alii aiahupua-a,

E pau kona aiahupuaa a-na.

Ina he lopa ka mea i hai ka iwi o ka ma-nu.

He make kona ho-pe.

This was the king’s constant proclamation to the people in order that they be informed of his law. After a person has cleaned the skeleton of a bird it is then carried into one of the king’s warehouses and there made to stand. These skeletons are picked clean of their meat and are stood up in rows in their storehouses. After the king’s wishes are carried out he is then sent for to come and look at the skeletons. After looking through one house he would go to the next one and inspect the skeletons in that house. This was Haloalena’s usual way of passing his time. After inspection the king would retire to his house. Penei ke alii e kala aku ai imua o na kanaka, i malama ai lakou i ko ke alii kanawai. Aia a pau ka ke kanaka hana ana i ka manu, alaila lawe ia aku la e kukulu maloko o kekahi mau halau loloa elua, He mau manu iwi wale no, i lawe ia ka io a pau, a kukulu like aku la iloko o ka halau. Aia a makaukau ko ke alii makemake, alaila kii aku la ke kanaka i ke alii e hele mai e nana i na hele manu iwi. Ia manawa a ke alii e hele aku ai e nana i ke kuku mai a na manu iwi maloko o ka halau; aia a pau ae kana nana ana ia halau manu, aiaila komo aku ana he halau hou; a pela e makaikai mau ai o Haloalena. I ka pau ana ae o ka ke alii makaikai ana, alaila hoi aku la ke alii i ka hale.

Once upon a time Kauhi happened to be in Lanai and saw the king returning to his house one day after inspecting his skeletons. Kauhi then went into Haloalena’s storehouses with long poles and knocked down all the skeletons from their places, and he kept this up until he had gone through all the storehouses of the chief of Lanai. When the king heard that Kauhi had entered the storehouses and had destroyed all his skeletons he sent for the son of Kauhiakama and asked him: “Whose mischievous son art thou?” Kauhi answered without fear: “Kauhiakama’s.” Haloalena again asked him: “Was it Kauhiakama that told you to destroy all my skeletons?” Kauhi replied: “Kauhiakama did not tell me to destroy the skeletons in your storehouses, but what he told me was to come and act in a mischievous manner and to be fearless. This was all he told me; therefore I came and acted mischievously.” This was the cause of the hostilities between the king of Lanai and the king of Maui, and the reason why the king of Lanai wanted to be independent and not be any longer under the king of Maui. At this time the chiefs of Lanai were under the control of Kamalalawalu, king of Maui. Aia a lohe o Kauhi ua hoi o Haloalena i ka hale, ia manawa e komo aku ai o Kauhi iloko o ka hale manu a Haloalena, me ka laau loihi, a hili aku la i na manu iwi, a pau loa i ka ulupaia, pela oia e hana mau ai a pau na halau manu o ke alii o Lanai. Ia manawa lohe aku ke alii nana na halau manu iwi ua pau i ka haihai ia e Kauhi, alaila, hele mai la o Haloalena a ninau mai i ke keiki a Kauhiakama: “Nawai ke kapu o oe?” Alaila hai aku la o Kauhi me ka makau ole, me he koa la: “Na Kauhiakama.” Olelo hou aku la o Haloalena: “Na Kauhiakama no oe i olelo mai e haihai i kuu mau halau manu?” Alaila olelo mai o Kauhi: “Aole i olelo mai o Kauhiakama ia’u e hele mai e haihai i ko mau halau manu. Aka, eia kana mea i olelo mai ia’u, e hele mai au e kolohe, a e koa hoi, oia wale no kana i olelo mai ia’u; a nolaila la hele mai nei au e kolohe.” O keia ke kumu o ke kipi ana o na ’lii o Lanai me ko Maui, me ka manao, e kuokoa o Lanai aole malalo o na ’lii o Maui. No ka mea, o ka noho ana o na alii o Lanai, malalo no lakou o Kamalalawalu ko Maui alii nui.

When Kualii heard of this proposed war he set sail from Hilo and first touched at Kaupo where he found that the Maui chiefs had gone to Lanai. Upon hearing this Kualii continued on his way to Lanai and landed at Wailehua. Upon his arrival at this place Kualii saw a fleet of war canoes in Kekaa. Kamalalawalu at this time was on Lanai with his army waiting for the return of Haloalena when the fight would commence. When Haloalena heard that Kualii was on his way to this war he decided to wait with his fleet of war canoes at Kekaa. On the next day the news of Kualii’s arrival at Wailehua was carried to Haloalena. Immediately upon hearing this he started off to meet Kualii and entreat him to take up his cause and fight Kamalalawalu. A lohe o Kualii i keia haunaele kaua, ia manawa holo mai o Kualii mai Hilo mai a hiki ma Kaupo, ua pau mai na ’lii o Maui i Lanai. A lohe o Kualii ua pau na ’lii o Maui i Lanai, nolaila holo loa mai la oia a pae i Wailehua. I nana aku auanei ka hana o Kualii e hoomoana mai ana na waa kaua o Lanai i Kekaa. A o Kamalalawalu hoi aia kela me kona puali alii i Lanai e kali ana ia Haloalena o ka hoi aku, alaila hoouka ke kaua. Aka, no ka lohe ana o Haloalena e hiki aku ana o Kualii i keia kaua ana, nolaila i kali ai na waa o Haloalena ma Kekaa. I kekahi la ae, kui aku la ka lono o Kualii no kona hiki ana a noho ma Wailehua; ia manawa no ke kii ana mai a Haloalena ia Kualii e lawe e kaua aku ia Kamalalawalu.

That night Kualii and the chiefs of Lanai sailed under the lee side of Kaena as directed by the people who were acquainted with the place. All that night until the next day Kualii’s canoes were moored along the beach at Manele. [In the meantime Kamalalawalu was still waiting for Haloalena.] After a time Kamalalawalu grew anxious and sent for his messenger Hinau and instructed him to make a circuit of Lanai. When Hinau arrived at Manele he saw Kualii’s fleet of canoes moored there, and according to their appearance judged them to be war canoes. Upon making this discovery Hinau drew closer with the intention of ascertaining if they were Haloalena’s. He did not, however, see Haloalena and Kualii, but by the paddlers he recognized Haloalena’s canoes, and by the shape and appearance of the others he was positive they belonged to Kualii. Ia po iho holo aku la o Kualii me ko Lanai mau alii, malalo o Kaena ka holo ana, e like me ke alakai a na kamaaina. Ia po a ao, hoomoana mua na waa o Kualii i kai o Manele. Aka, o Hinau, ka Kamalalawalu elele, hoouna ia aku la oia e hele a puni o Lanai. Ma ia hele ana, ike aku la o Hinau e lana mai ana na waa o Kualii ma i Manele, a i ka ike ana aku a Hinau, he mau waa kaua ke ano, nolaila, hookokoke loa aku la o Hinau e ike lea ia Haloalena. Aka, aole i ike ia o Haloalena me Kualii, ma na hoewaa ka ike ana ia Haloalena, a ma na waa hoi ka ike ana ia Kualii.

Upon making this last discovery Hinau returned to Kamalalawalu and informed him of what he had seen in the following words: “I ran by way of Maunalei to Kaena without seeing the king. From this last place I continued to Manele and there I saw some canoes moored along the beach which had the appearance of war canoes. Upon making this discovery I drew closer so as to ascertain their true character. I did not, however, see the chiefs who owned the canoes, but I saw the king’s paddlers; they appeared to me to be Haloalena’s men, and the other canoes looked like those of Kualii. I did not, however, see Kualii.” Nolaila hoi aku la o Hinau a hai aku la ia Kamalalawalu i kana mea i ike ai, me ka i aku: “Holo aku nei au ma Maunalei a hiki i Kaena, aole au i ike iki i ke alii, hele hou mai au a hiki i Manele, ike aku la au, he mau waa ke lana mai ana, he waa ano makaukau no ke kaua. Alaila hele loa aku la au e ike pono, aole nae au i ike i na ’lii nona na waa, aka, o na hoewaa o ke alii ka’u i ike aku, ua like no me ko Haloalena mau hoewaa, a o kekahi mau waa, ua like me na waa o Kualii, aole nae au i ike ia Kualii.”

When Kamalalawalu heard Hinau speak of Kualii, he immediately sent for some soldiers and ordered them to go and bring Kualii. When Kauhi heard the orders given to the soldiers he thereupon set out and ran to Manele to meet Kualii without receiving any orders from Kamalalawalu to do so, but took it upon himself to be the first person to bring Kualii. When Kauhi arrived at the place where the canoes moored he first looked for Haloalena’s canoes and upon ascertaining which canoes were his, this mischievous son of Kauhiakama unfastened the rope that held Haloalena’s canoes to the shore and dropped it in the sea. At this time a strong breeze was blowing and the canoes were carried out to sea, leaving Kualii’s canoes by themselves at their mooring place. Kauhi next took up the rope which held Kualii’s canoes to the shore and pulling on it drew them toward him and when near he jumped aboard, approached Kualii and sat on his lap. By the action of the boy Kualii knew he was a mischievous fellow and therefore asked him: “Whose mischievous son art thou?” Kauhi replied: “Kauhiakama’s.” Kualii again asked him: “Did Kauhiakama tell you to come and sit on my lap?” Kauhi replied: “Yes, he told me to sit on your lap.” A lohe o Kamalalawalu i ka olelo a Hinau no Kualii, alaila, hoouna ae la o Kamalalawalu i kekahi mau koa, e kii aku ia Kualii. A he lohe ana nae ka Kauhi i ka huaolelo kena no kekahi mau koa, alaila, puka aku la o Kauhi a holo aku la ma Manele e halawai me Kualii, me kona kena ole ia aku e Kamalalawalu. Aka, ua lilo mua ia Kauhi ke kii e ia Kualii. Ia Kauhi i hiki aku ai ma kahi a Kualii ma e lana mai ana, ua hekauia na waa iuka. Aka, o ua Kauhi nei, iaia i hiki aku ai ma kahi e hekau ana na waa, nana pono ae la ia, a ike i na waa o Haloalena, alaila wehe ae la ua keiki kolohe nei a Kauhiakama i ke kaula hekau o na waa o Haloalena a kiola aku la iloko o ke kai; e pa ana nae ka makani ia manawa, ua hele loa na waa iwaho, a haalele mai la i ke kaulike pu ana me Kualii. A o ko Kualii mau waa hoi, lawe ae la keia i ke kaula i kekauia iuka, a hukihuki mai la i ke kaula hekau, a kau aku la iluna o na waa o Kualii, hele aku la ua o Kauhi, a noho iho la iluna o ka uha o Kualii. Ia wa, maopopo ae la ia Kualii he keiki kolohe keia. Nolaila ninau aku oia: “Nawai ke kupu o oe?” Olelo aku la o Kauhi: “Na Kauhiakama.” Olelo hou o Kualii me ka ninau aku: “Na Kauhiakama no oe i olelo mai e hele mai a noho iluna o kuu uha?” I aku o Kauhi: “Ae, nana no i olelo mai ia’u e noho iluna ou.”

Because of these positive replies made by Kauhi, Kualii made up his mind to go to Kauhiakama and ask him directly on the matter. Kualii then set off with Kauhi on their way to meet Kamalalawalu. Upon coming up to Kamalalawalu and his company, Kualii turned to Kauhiakama and asked him: “Is this your son Kauhi?” Kauhiakama replied: “Yes, my own son.” Kualii again asked him: “Was it you who told him to come and sit on my lap?” Kauhiakama replied: “I did not tell that deceitful boy to go and sit on your lap, O King.” Kualii remarked: “He told me that you had told him to sit on my lap.” Kauhiakama then replied: “What a deceitful boy; send for that mischievous boy.” Kauhi was then sent for and he was brought in the presence of Kauhiakama his father and was then asked: “Say, Kauhi, is it true that you told the king (Kualii) that it was I that had instructed you to go and sit on his lap?” Kauhi replied: “Yes, you told me to do it.” The father then said: “You are indeed a deceitful boy. When did I tell you to do such a thing?” A no keia olelo a Kauhi, manao ae la o Kualii e hele aku e ninau pololei aku ia Kauhiakama. Alaila holo pu aku la o Kualii me ua o Kauhi, a hiki aku la i o Kamalalawalu, ninau aku la o Kualii ia Kauhiakama: “Nau no anei keia keiki o Kauhi?” I mai o Kauhiakama: “Ae, na’u ponoi.” Ninau hou aku o Kualii: “Nau no anei i olelo aku, e hele ae e noho iluna o kuu uha?” I mai o Kauhiakama: “Aole au i olelo aku ia keiki wahahee, e hele aku e noho iluna ou e ke alii.” I mai la o Kualii: “Ka! I olelo ae nei, nau i olelo ae e noho iluna o’u.” I aku o Kauhiakama: “E nani ke keiki wahahee; kii ia aku na keiki kolohe.” Kii ia aku la o Kauhi, a hiki mai la imua o Kauhiakama kona makuakane, ninau ia aku la: “Ea, e Kauhi, he oiaio anei ua olelo aku nei oe i ke alii (Kualii) na’u oe i olelo aku e hele e noho iluna o ka uha o ke alii?” I mai o Kauhi: “Ae, nau no.” I aku la ka makuakane: “Nani ke keiki wahahee o oe. I nahea nei ka’u olelo ana aku ia oe pela?”

Kauhi then answered his father without fear: “Here is what you told me. While I was teasing the boys and was pulling up our newly planted fields till you had about enough of my mischievous capers, you then spoke to me in the following words: ‘At last I am sick and tired of your capers; the best thing for you to do is to go and behave this way in the presence of the king, there you can cut as much of your capers as you like.’ These were your very words to me, and that is the reason why I acted the way I did to the king.” I mai o Kauhi me ka makau ole i kona makuakane: “Penei kau olelo ia’u. Ia’u e paeha ana i na kamalii, a e uhuki ana i na ai opiopio o na mahinaai a kaua, a ana oe i kuu kolohe, olelo mai oe penei: ‘Akahi ke ana ia oe e ke keiki i ke kolohe; e aho e hoi oe i ke alo alii e kolohe ai, ilaila e ku ai kau kolohe.’ Pela mai no oe iau; a nolaila au i hele aku ai e kolohe ia Kualii.”

Because Kauhi spoke the way he did to his father, Kualii made up his mind that Kauhi had in him the makings of a brave soldier, and thereupon took him as one of his soldiers. In course of time Kauhi proved to be what Kualii had predicted of him and was made his chief warrior, even over Maheleana and Malanaihaehae. A no keia olelo a Kauhi pela i kona makuakane, alaila, manao ae la o Kualii he kanaka koa o Kauhi, alaila, lawe ae la o Kualii ia Kauhi i koa nona; a lilo ae la o Kauhi i pukaua nui no Kualii maluna o Maheleana a me Malanaihaehae.

The battle prepared by Haloalena was declared off by Kualii, and Lanai once more came under the rule of Kamalalawalu. Shortly after this, Kualii returned to Oahu taking Kauhi along with him. Aka, o ke kaua i hoomakaukau mua ia e Haloalena, hoopau wale aku la o Kualii ia kaua ana, a hui hou ae la malalo o Kamalalawalu. A hoi aku la o Kualii i Oahu, lawe pu ae la ia Kauhi.

CHAPTER VIII. THE BATTLE FOUGHT BY KUALII AT KALAKOA. MOKUNA VIII. KE KAUA ANA A KUALII I KALAKOA.

In most of the battles fought by Kualii it was customary for him to accompany his soldiers. But later on when Kualii saw that his soldiers were proficient and that they showed great strength he decided to let them go to war by themselves, while he stayed behind at Kailua. But nevertheless, his soldiers usually told him the time and place the battles were to be fought, so as to keep the king informed. This was the practice regularly observed. Kualii, however, often went to witness these battles without the knowledge of his soldiers. In these secret tours of his, he always took part in the battles against his enemies and carried away the feather cloaks. Kualii often went out to battle in this secret way and the soldiers were puzzled at certain things they saw which they were not able to unravel. Every time an engagement occurred Kualii was there, fighting those who were opposed to his men. At the close of the battle the men would then see some one come out of the conflict bearing a feather cloak who would disappear on the way to Kailua. It was no one else but Kualii. He mea mau i na hoouka kaua ana a pau a Kualii, ka hele pu ana me na koa. Aka, no ko Kualii ike ana aku i kona mau koa ua makaukau, a ikaika no hoi, nolaila, hookuu aku ai o Kualii e hele i ke kaua o kona mau koa wale. He nui na kaua ana i hookuu aku ai i kona mau koa, noho no nae oia ma Kailua. Aka, he mea mau hoi i na koa o Kualii ka hele aku e hai i ke alii i ka manawa e hoouka ai ke kaua, a me ke kahua hoi kahi e hoouka ai, i maopopo ai i ke alii. A pela mau no ka hana ana. Aka, hele aku la o Kualii e makaikai i ke kaua a kona mau koa, me kona ike ole ia mai. Iloko nae o kona manawa e hele ana e nana i ke kaua, ua luku aku la no oia i ke kanaka, a lawe mai i ka ahuula. Pela pinepine o Kualii e hele ai i na kaua, aka, he mea haohao nae ia i na koa o Kualii. Aia a hoomaka iho ka hoouka ana o na kaua o na aoao elua, aia aku la o Kualii ma kela aoao kahi i luku aku ai i ke kaua e kue mai ana i ko ia nei poe kaua. Aia a pau ka hoouka ana o ke kaua, he ike ana ka i ka oili a keia kanaka me ka ahuula mailoko aku o ka poe kaua, o ka puka aku la no ia hele ana, hoi aku la i Kailua; eia no ka o Kualii.

After a while Kualii’s soldiers became very anxious to know who this person was that always came out from the ranks of the enemy carrying a feather cloak on his arm. So the soldiers made up their minds to seize him, so that they would be able to find out who this brave soldier was. Several battles were fought after this where Kualii joined in without being recognized by his men, and the soldiers began to question amongst themselves: “Is it possible that this is indeed Kualii? Who can it be?” The soldiers therefore held a council to decide what must be done to him. A no ka uluhua mau o na koa o ua o Kualii i keia mea e hele mau nei me ka ahuula, nolaila manao ae la na koa e hopu i keia kanaka, i ike ai lakou i keia kanaka koa e puka nei mai loko aku o ke kahua kaua. Ua nui na hoouka kaua ana i hala i komo ai o Kualii me ka ike ole ia. A nolaila, ua ninau wale iho kona mau koa: “O Kualii no paha keia? Owai la?” Nolaila, kukakuka ae la na koa i na mea e hiki ai ke hana ia aku nona.

One early morning just before dawn Kualii set out from Kailua; leaving Kaneohe he went by sea and the sea was dried up. When Kualii arrived at Kahaluu that same morning he was seen by a certain boy at Kualoa. The boy resided at Kaoio Point. Upon seeing Kualii the boy remarked to his grandmother: “Say, how swiftly that man runs along the sea.” The grandmother replied: “Watch him closely; it cannot be anybody else; it must be the king, Ku.” The grandson then remarked: “When the king arrives I am going to follow him.” The grandmother replied: “If you are thinking of following your lord you must carry along these shrimps wrapped in ti-leaf together with the king’s fan. It is possible that the king may look behind him and see the fan and would like to know who you are; then make yourself known to him. Don’t go near him, however; your shadow may pass over the king; and don’t go on his lee side for you may step over the king’s shadow, but keep at a little distance away from him.” I kekahi kakahiaka ma ka manawa e molehulehu ana, hele mai la no o Kualii mai Kailua mai; a hiki ma Kaneohe, hele mai la oia ma ke kai, maloo ke kai. A hoea oia i Kahaluu, ma ke kakahiaka nui, ia manawa ike mai la kekahi keiki i Kualoa, ma ka lae o Kaoio kahi i noho ai. I aku la ua keiki nei i ke kupunawahine: “E, mama hoi keia kanaka e holo mai nei maloko o ke kai.” I aku la ke kupunawahine: “Nana pono ia aku, aole na he kanaka e; o ke alii aku la na, o Ku.” I aku la ka moopuna: “Aia a hiki mai ke alii, alaila, alualu au mahope.” I aku ke kupunawahine: “A ina i mano oe e ukali i ko hanai, e paa aku oe i ka wahi opae me ka peahi o ke alii. Malia o hele kela a alawa iho mahope, malia o ike i ka peahi, ninau iho ia oe, alaila hai aku oe. Mai hele hookokoke aku nae oe, o ae kou aka iluna o ke alii, a mai hele oe ma ko ia la malu, o ae oe iluna o ke aka o ke alii; hoomamao ike mai oe.”

Just as the grandmother concluded her instructions Kualii passed by. The boy then followed. Kualii kept on running and passed Kaaawa, then along and over Makaua and as he was going up the rise from which place you can see Kahana, Kualii looked behind and saw a boy following him. The king then remarked: “I see there is a boy following me.” As the king did not wish to be followed for fear that his intention of going to battle might be known, he ran much faster with the idea that when they reached the sands of Kahana he would outrun the boy. When Kualii reached the sands of Kahana he then ran at great speed along the sea, with the boy close behind; when Kualii got on the other side of Kahana which adjoins Punaluu he looked around and saw the boy still close behind him. The king then remarked to himself: “Surely this boy is a fast runner.” Passing Punaluu, Kaluanui and up the summit of Kaipapau, the boy kept on following close behind till the king reached Waimea; Kualii continued down the slope and sat down on the other side of the Waimea stream; but the boy remained on this side at a place called Piliaama where he sat down, as the sun had now risen. The boy wanted to get nearer to the king, but was afraid his shadow might pass over him, so he concluded to stay where he was. Pau no hoi ka ke kupunawahine olelo ana, hele ana o Kualii makai o lakou nei. Ia manawa, ukali pu aku la ua keiki nei; ke holo la o Kualii, a hala o Kaaawa, a ae iluna o na Makaua, a ka hoopiina aku e nana aku ai ia Kahana. I alawa iho auanei ka hana o Kualii, e pili ana keia keiki mahope o ia nei. I iho la ke alii: “He keiki hoi keia mahope.” A no ka makemake ole o Kualii e ukaliia aku ia, o ike ia auanei kana hele ana i ke kaua; nolaila, holo mama aku la o Kualii me ka manao o ke one o Kahana kahi e pau ai ka mama o ua keiki nei. A hiki o Kualii i ke one o Kahana, holo mama loa aku o Kualii ma ke kai, o ke keiki aku no mahope; a hiki o Kualii ma kela aoao o Kahana e pili aku ai me Punaluu, i alawa iho auanei ua Kualii nei, e kau aku ana no ke keiki mahope ona. Ia manawa, e kuupau aku ana o Kualii i kona mama, a hala o Punaluu, a Kaluanui, a hele ana iluna o Kaipapau, i alawa mai auanei o Kualii e pili aku ana no ua keiki nei mahope. I iho la ke alii: “He oi ka hoi keia keiki mama.” Pela ka uhai holo ana o ua keiki nei mahope o ke alii a hiki i Waimea. Iho aku la o Kualii a ma kela aoao o Waimea noho, a o ua keiki nei pili aku la ma keia aoao ma kahi i oleloia o Piliaama, a malaila oia i noho ai, no ka mea ua puka mai la ka la. Manao ua keiki nei e hookokoke aku i kahi a ke alii e noho ana, aka, manao keia o ae ke aka o ua keiki nei iluna o ke alii, a nolaila i pili ai ua keiki nei malaila.

While they were at Waimea, Kualii looked and saw that the boy was holding his fan; he then watched the boy to see if he would use it, but the boy did not, because he knew that the fan belonged to the king. Had the king seen the boy use the fan the boy would have been killed. After waiting for a while the king called for the boy and the boy stood up and went over to meet the king. The king then asked him: “Who gave you that fan?” The boy answered: “Your honored servant.” Kualii again asked the boy: “Where are you going to?” The boy replied: “I am following the king.” The king again asked him: “If I should run and grab hold of a feather cloak, would you grab one too?” The boy answered: “I would grab a feather cloak too.” Kualii again asked him: “If I should seize hold of a man, would you seize one too?” “Yes, I would seize one too,” replied the boy. After hearing the boy answer all his questions, Kualii made up his mind that this must be a very brave boy. Ia laua me Kualii malaila, nana aku la o Kualii e paaia mai ana ka peahi o ua o Kualii e ua keiki nei; kali aku la nae oia o ka peahi mai o ke keiki, aole oia i peapeahi, no ka mea ua ike no kela (keiki) no ke alii ka peahi. Ina e ike aku o Kualii i ua keiki nei e peahi ia ana ua peahi nei, ina ua make ua keiki nei. A liuliu iki ko Kualii kali ana, alaila, kahea aku la o Kualii i ke keiki, a hele aku la a halawai me ke alii. Ninau aku la ke alii: “Nawai i haawi mai ia peahi ia oe?” Hai aku la ua keiki nei: “Na ko kahu no.” Ninau mai la o Kualii i ke keiki: “E hele ana oe i hea?” I aku la ke keiki: “I ukali mai nei au i ke alii.” I hou aku ke alii: “Ina holo au a hopu i ka ahuula, hopu no oe?” I aku la ke keiki: “Hopu no au i ka ahuula.” I hou aku o Kualii: “A ina e hopu au i ke kanaka, hopu no oe?” “Ae, hopu no au.” Pela aku ke keiki. A no keia mea, manao ae la o Kualii, he keiki koa keia.

Upon their arrival at Lihue they heard that the two armies were encamped at Kalakoa, so they kept right on and went into the battle. This is known as the battle of Kukaniloko. When they drew close to the enemy, Kualii entered into the thickest part of the fight with the boy behind him. Kualii, upon entering into the fight, left his own men far behind him, but he and the boy kept on with the desire of again encountering the enemy at Paia where another battle was being fought. Upon reaching Paia, Kualii saw the opposing king dressed in a feather cloak. Kualii then drew near to the other king and after killing him seized the feather cloak and took it. While Kualii was carrying off the feather cloak the boy cut off one of the man’s small fingers and took it. The boy also cut off one of the man’s ears and took it. Ma ia hele ana a laua nei a hiki iuka o Lihue, i laila lohe laua ua hoomoana ke kaua i Kalakoa. A nolaila, hele loa aku la laua a komo iloko o ke kaua, oia ke kaua i olelo ia o Kukaniloko. Ia laua nei i hookokoke aku ai, komo aku la o Kualii iloko o ka pukuikui kaua, a komo pu aku la no hoi me ua keiki nei. A hala na koa ponoi o Kualii mahope o laua, apu aku la laua e loaa ke kaua a Paia. Ike aku la o Kualii i ke alii e aahu mai ana me ka ahuula, hopu aku la o Kualii i ka ahuula a lawe mai la. Ia Kualii i lawe mai ai i ka ahuula, hopu aku la no hoi ua keiki nei i ka manamana lima iki a lawe mai la, lalau aku la no ua keiki nei i kekahi pepeiao o ua kanaka nei no nona ka ahuula.
