Note 31 — Introductory material (continued 2)

Hakau and his people, the chiefs and attendants, and the attending stewards were killed, and the weapons in the service were taken possession of by the soldiers of Umi-a-Liloa. When the chiefs, the princes and the court people who had gone up to observe malukoi31 heard that King Hakau had been slain, and that Umi had rebelled against the government, and that the people down in Waipio had been slain, therefore the princes of Kona fled to Kona, as did those of Kau, Puna and Hilo to their respective districts to their royal parents; and they all alike rebelled against the government, so that Kona, Kau, Puna, Hilo and Kohala each became independent.
