Note 13 — Introductory material

When the messenger returned to the presence of the old men he told them all the words told him by Hakau. When they heard the report they were greatly distressed and became very sore at heart, and in time, as the refusal of Hakau to give them their small needs became more apparent, they got very angry toward Hakau. Because of this ill-treatment the old men began to conspire within themselves to give away the possession of the kingdom to Umi. Nunu said to Kakohe: “Let us go and see how fares Kaoleioku with his ward, whether good or bad.”13 This was agreed on by the two old men and in due time they set out from Waipio, climbed the cliff and arrived in Kukuihaele. From there they continued on to Kapulena where they spent the night. On the next day they continued on their way until they arrived at Honokaa, then on to Paauhau where they rested. From this last place they continued on to Kalopa, then on to Kaumoalii, and on to Kemau where they spent that night.
