Note 78 — Introductory material (continued 5)

Makakuikalani, however, upon hearing of Kamalalawalu’s proposal to Lonoikamakahiki to cease the war disapproved of it and said to Kamalalawalu not to have the war cease. “Onward, and stand on the altar!78 Then will it be known which of us is a full grown child.” This determination on the part of Makakuikalani was manifested by his presence for three consecutive days before the forces of Hawaii. After the third day, the two combatting forces waged battle, Lonoikamakahiki gaining the victory over Kamalalawalu’s entire force on the same day the battle was fought, the Maui-ites being completely routed.
