Note 8 — Introductory material (continued 6)

Kamakaaulani: “You go to the chief of Koolauloa8 and bring him to the plains of Keahumoa9 where we will conceal ourselves. When you see a knotted ti leaf and the tail of a small fish (aholehole)10 on a pile of sugar-cane peelings, then remember that it is the sign that we are there and you can stand on that spot and chant the mele. This must, however, be on the eve of Kane.11 You will find us on the plains of Keahumoa.” As soon as this was agreed upon, Kapaahulani proceeded on his way to meet the chief of Koolauloa. When Kapaahulani reached Waialua where the chief of Koolauloa had come and was residing for the time being, soon after his arrival there he introduced himself to the chief, and thereupon urged him to go and make war on Kualii.
