Note 32 — Introductory material (continued 2)

Umi-a-Liloa reigned in the place of King Hakau through his wise effort and the cunning of his guardian attendant who directed him in the way of obtaining the throne, securing it notwithstanding the many enemies who opposed his accession on account of the lowness32 of his royal blood. Umi had two children who were born in his days of humble circumstances, a boy and a girl; they were children by common women of the back country of Waipunalei, of Hilo-Koolau.33
