Ia wa, olelo aku o Pele i ke kaikamahine: “E i ae no ka mea ai i luna.” Ninau mai ke kaikamahine: “Heaha ia mea ai?” Olelo aku la ka makuahine: “He ohelo, ua hele akula ia a pala, o ka makou no hoi ia e ai nei.” Ia lohe ana o ua kaikamahine nei, o ka pii aku la no ia a ike i ka pala o ka ohelo, lalau aku la keia a hahai mai la. I ka hai ana mai, o ke kahe mai la no ia o ke koko e like me ko ke kanaka; honi ae la keia, aole o kana mai o ka pilau, o ko ia nei haalele no ia a hoi ilalo. Olelo aku la keia ia Pele: “Kai no hoi he mea maikai kau i olelo mai nei ia’u, i hahai aku nei kuu hana o ke kahe mai no ia o ke koko, i honi ae hoi, aole o kana mai o ka pilau.” Olelo mai hoi o Pele: “Ka, o ka makou no hoi ia e ai nei, ia oe aku nei hoi ano-e.” A lohe o Hiiaka no ka laua nei mau olelo, pane mai la hoi ia: “Ka, mai ai oe i kela mea, oiai, o ke kino no ia o ko makuahine, o ka ohelo e ku la i luna oia na iwi, o ka ohelo nenee hoi oia ka i-o.”

A lohe o Waialani i keia mea, he mea-e kona kaumaha a me ka luuluu no kona ai ana i ke kino o kona mama aloha, olelo aku la keia ia Pele: “Ke hoohiki nei au ia oe, aole au e ike ana ia oe a hiki i ka lua kupapa’u.” Oia ka hookaawale ana o ko Hawaii nei, aole e kamailio kekahi i kekahi a hiki i ka wa e make ai, aia wale no a kalua ia ka puaa, a hana ia a pau, alaila ike i ka wa e ola ana, ina aole e hana ia kela mau mea, aia wale no ka palena he make, a he mea keia i maa ia Hawaii nei mai ka wa kahiko mai a hiki paha i keia wa. A mahope iho, o ko laua nei hele mai la no ia me Hiiaka a hiki i Lanai, o ko ia nei kii no ia a ke kino kupapau o Malulani, ua hele a popopo, o ko laua nei hoi no ia a hiki i kahi o na makua, uwe iho la lakou nei a pau, noho ihola lakou nei na wahine, ke kane a me ke kaikamahine.

After that, Hiiaka and she came to Lanai; she went and got the corpse of Malulani, which was decomposed; they went back to her parents’ place, where they all wailed. Then they stayed there, the women, the husband and the daughter. After some days Waialani made up small bundles of the body of Malulani which she scattered outside of Heeia, a hill here and a hill there until the place held many hills which are standing even unto this day. And because of the Flood, all these hills were submerged, and appeared as islets, and that is why it is called the sharp coral of Heeia; and it is there even to the present time as most of you know who have been to the place. A hala kekahi mau la, o ka puolo liilii no ia o ua o Waialani i ke kino o Malulani a paa, hoolei liilii keia mawaho aku o Heeia, ku aku ana he puu, ku aku ana he puu a kinikini loa lakou e ku la a hiki i keia wa.

Oia ihola na mea a pau e pili ana no ko Kaohelo hele ana mai mai Kahiki mai a laha’i ma Hawaii nei.

HOW IT WAS FOUND INDIGENOUS IN HAWAII. O KONA LOAA ANA NO MA HAWAII NEI.

No Kauai na makua, o Manuakepa ka makuakane, o Hooleia ka makuahine. Noho ihola hoi laua nei a hanau mai la ka laua nei kaikamahine, kapa’ku la laua i kona inoa o Kaoheloula. O ka inoa nae o ka makuakane, he inoa kaulana loa ia a hiki i keia wa, a ua paa no hoi i ka haku ia i ke mele, nona hoi keia:

The moss peoples the barren lands of Maunakepa: Spattering thereon is the rain from Hanalei, etc. Ka limu kaha kanaka o Manuakepa, Kapekupeku i luna ka ua o Hanalei, a pela ku.

When the daughter died she grew right into this ohelo plant, and it was thrown here and there until it grew all over Hawaii. That is how the ohelo was derived; it started from Kauai.

Noho iho la lakou nei, a loohia ua kaikamahine nei i ka ma-i, huli hele aku la na makua i kahuna nana e lapaau ka ma-i, loaa iho la hoi ia laua nei keia wahi kahuna o Kumakaohuohu, nonoi aku la laua nei i laau. “E, e oluolu paha oe e haawi mai i laau no ke kaikamahine a maua, oiai, ke waiho la ia i ka ma-i,” olelo mai hoi ua wahi kahuna nei: “Aole e loaa kuu laau ia olua, aia a haawi mai olua i kekahi mea e mohai ai i kuu laau kapu, alaila, ola ke kaikamahine a olua.” O ke kii ia’ku la no ia ua kaikamahine nei a hoomoe ia i ua laau nei, me ka manao hoi o na makua e ola ’na, eia ka aole, ua hana ia e kela wahi kahuna hoopunipuni a make. I ka make ana oua kaikamahine nei, o ka ulu ae la no ia iluna o ua laau nei, a kiola liilii ia ma kela a me keia wahi a laha ma Hawaii nei a puni. Oia ihola ke kumu i loaa mai ai ka ohelo, mai Kauai kahi i hoomaka ia ai.

Another version is this: There were two women; one had sore eyes and one was lame. Because they were continually being reviled they felt ashamed, and they killed each other. These women when living, used to play a game whereby pebbles were thrown up; two pebbles, three pebbles, etc.; and while throwing up the pebbles, a chant would be recited, thus: O kekahi hoi, he mau wahine ka keia, he wahine makole kekahi, a he wahine haneenee kekahi, no ka hailiili mau ia, hilahila ihola laua, a pepehi laua ia laua iho a make. O ka hana a keia mau wahine, o ka hooleilei pohaku, elua pohaku, ekolu a pela ’ku, he mea hana ia hoi me ke mele, aia i ka wa e kiola ’i i ka pohaku i luna, oia ka wa e puana ’i i ka mele penei:

Seize, seize the ohelo, food of the birds, The food chased about in the wilds of Puna, etc. Puili puili ohelo ai a ka manu, Ke ai holoholo la i ka uka o Puna, a pela ku.

After these women were killed the red-eyed woman became the red ohelo, and the lame woman became the creeping ohelo. This is what has been told me; it may be that others have something more concerning this subject of the ohelo. Jos. K. Kahele Jr. A make laua nei, lilo ae la ka wahine makole i ohelo ula, o ka wahine haneenee hoi, lilo iho la i ohelo papa. Oia ihola kahi mea i hahai ia mai ia’u, malia he mana okoa ’ku ka kekahi e pili ana no keia mea he ohelo. Jos. K. Kahele Jr.

When these canes were first taken to be planted a hole was dug, but not as is done today. When planting at that time the dirt was simply brushed aside from the spot where you wished to plant the cane, and the seed was pushed in. That was the way of planting in the olden time. Perhaps there were other ways, but this is the way of planting which I have learned. Perhaps there are many other things but it is for you to seek them. January 31, 1872. D. K. Kamakea. Aia i ka wa e lawe mua ia ai keia mau ko e kanu, eliia ka lua, aole nae i like me keia wa.

STORY OF THE BAMBU. MOOLELO NO KA OHE.

O ka ohe, oia kekahi o na laau maikai o Hawaii nei, aole nae i like kona ano me na laau a kakou i ike iho nei, i ko lakou mau moolelo mamua; aole no hoi i like me kekahi mau laau e ae; aka, o kona ano he loloa, a he paukuku no hoi a he hakahaka oloko, a o kona lau, he liilii loloa, like me ka lau o ka ohe Kahiki a kakou e ike nei; aole nae he ulu wale mai o keia laau ma na wahi a pau; e like me na laau e ae ka ulu wale mai; aia wale no ma ke kanu ia aku e na kanaka; aka, e ninau iho paha auanei kekahi o oukou, me ka olelo ana: “Nohea la i loaa mai ai ka ohe, aia kanaka e kanu aku ai?” nolaila, i mau kumu e maopopo ai ia kakou, kahi i loaa mai ai o ka ohe, e me kana mau hana.

FIRST: WHERE THE BAMBU CAME FROM. MANAO MUA: KAHI I LOAA MAI AI KA OHE.

It is said that the bambu was brought by Hina from Kahiki. The sharpness of the bambu at that time, strange to say, was on the outside. There were two plants that she brought over; the bambu and a rush, and these were planted by the side of the door. When Maui, the grandson of Hina, saw these plants growing by the side of their door, he went to pull them; but before he could loosen them, his hands were cut by the bambu; and when his grandmother saw that his hands were lacerated, she turned the sharp edge of the bambu inward. That is what we see now, the sharp edge of the bambu is inside; therefore it is clear to us that Hina introduced the bambu here in Hawaii. Ua olelo ia, mai a Hina mai i loaa ai ka ohe, no Kahiki mai. O ka oi nae o ka ohe ia wa, aia ka mawaho. Elua nae keia mau laau ana i lawe mai ai; oia hoi ka ohe, a me ke ahuawa, a ua kanu ia keia mau laau ma ka puka o ka hale. A no ka ike ana o Maui, ka moopuna a Hina, i ka ulu o keia mau laau ma ka puka o ko lakou hale, kii aku la ia a uhuki ae la i keia mau laau; aole nae i hemo, mokumoku e kona lima i ka ohe; a ike kona kupunawahine i ka mokumoku o kona lima i ka ohe, hoihoi ae la ka o ua o Hina i ka oi o ka ohe maloko, a oia ka kakou e ike nei i ka ohe i keia manawa; aia ka oi maloko, nolaila, ua maopopo ia kakou, mai a Hina i loaa mai ai ka ohe ma Hawaii nei.

SECONDLY: THE VALUE OF THE BAMBU. MANAO ALUA: NA HANA A KA OHE.

First: the bambu is used for fishing rods; that is one way the natives here in Hawaii had of catching fish, by tying a string to the tip end of the bambu, with a hook attached on the end of the string; such a bambu is called a fishing rod. Hana mua. He makoi lawaia ia ka ohe. Oia kekahi mea, e loaa ai ka ia i na kanaka o Hawaii nei, ma ka hoopaa ia ana o ke aho, ma ka welau o ka ohe, me ka hoopaa i ka makau ma ka piko o ke kaula, a ua kapa ia o ua ohe nei, he makoi lawaia ia.

Second: as house battens; that is another use of the bambu. In the olden times small sized bambus for battens (or sticks) for thatching a house; that was one of its values. Hana Alua: He aho hale. Oia kekahi hana a ka ohe, aia i ka wa kahiko, ua kii ia na ohe liilii kupono ke hana ia i aho hale, a oia kekahi hana a ka ohe.

Hana Akolu: He pahi ka ohe na ko Hawaii nei i ka wa kahiko. Aia nae ka wa e lilo ai ka ohe i pahi, aia i ka wa e nahaha ai, oia ka wa oi o ka ohe. O kekahi hana, he mea kapala kapa ia na na wahine kuku kapa i ka wa kahiko, a hiki no i keia wa, aia i ka wawahi ia, a apanapana maikai e like me ka manao o ka loea kuku kapa, oia kekahi hana a ka ohe.

Hana Aha: Ma kona mau puna. Aia ma kona puna ua hana ia i huawai, aia nae, o ka ohe nunui ke kupono ke hana ia, oia kekahi hana a ka ohe.

Fifth: its leaves. The leaves of the bambu are used for polishing; it would put a good polish on rings; also on pipes and on wooden calabashes; such are the uses of the bambu. Hana Elima: Ma kona lau. Aia ma kona lau he mea anai komo ia, i mea e maikai ai ke komo, pela no hoi ka ipupaka, a me ka ipulaau, oia iho la na hana a ka ohe.

Eia kekahi o ka manao; no na ulu ohe kaulana. Aia ma Kuikuilaumania, i Hawaii, kekahi ulu ohe kaulana, e kokoke ana i ka wili ko o Kaupakuea, ma Hilo. Ka mea i kaulana ai oia ulu ohe, aia malaila na ohe maikai, nunui, a malaila no hoi ka ohe e kii ia ai i mea oki no ka omaka o na keiki o Hawaii, nolaila, kapa hou ia kekahi inoa oia ulu ohe, o Homaikaohe.

Eia ka lua o na ulu ohe kaulana, aia no ma Hilo i Hawaii, o Halai ka inoa oia ulu ohe kaulana. Ka mea i kaulana ai oia ulu ohe, no ka nui o ka ohe, a malaila e kii ia ai na ohe hiaku, a na kanaka o Hawaii; oia iho la na ulu ohe kaulana o Hawaii a’u i lohe ai; he mau ulu ohe kaulana hou aku no paha koe, na oukou nae hoi ia e hoike ae.

Timothy Lililea.

Ko Maui nei hoi, aia ma Koolau, i Maui Hikina, o Pohakea ka inoa oia ulu ohe, o Hinai kekahi inoa ona, he wahi kahi olona ia nae ia e na kanaka i keia manawa, aka, o ka moolelo i kaulana ai oia ulu ohe, aole i maopopo i’au, oia iho la ko Maui nei ulu ohe kaulana a’u i lohe ai.

Ma Oahu hoi, aole ulu ohe kaulana malaila.

Ko Kauai hoi, ua like no me ko Oahu, aole ulu ohe kaulana malaila. Nolaila, ua maopopo ae la ia kakou, kahi i loaa mai ai o ka ohe, oia hoi, mai a Hina mai, kahi i loaa ai, ame kana mau hana, ame na wahi ulu ohe kaulana i hai ia iho nei, oia iho la kahi mea i loaa i’au no ka moolelo o ka ohe.

Timothy Lililea.

THE COCONUT. NO KA NIU.

O ka niu, aole ia he laau kamaaina no Hawaii nei mai kinohi mai, no ka mea, aole he kanaka nana i hoike mai, aole hoi he moolelo e hoike ana i ka oiaio he laau kahiko ia mai ka hoomaka ana mai o keia mau mokupuni. A no ka nele ia mau hoike, nolaila ua manao kekahi poe no Kahiki mai ka niu.

Elua manao no ke kumu i hiki mai ai ka niu i Hawaii nei. 1. I lawe ia mai e ke kai. 2. I laweia mai e Apua ame kona kaikuaana me Aukelenuiaiku, a penei ka wehewehe ana.

I ka wa e ulu ana ka niu i Kahiki ua hele a kokoke iloko o ke kai; i ka hua ana a maloo ka hua, helelei no i loko o ke kai, a na ke kai no i lawe i na hua i haule iho ma kela wahi keia wahi, a lawe loa ia mai kekahi hua i Hawaii nei. I ka pae ana ma kahakai a komo iloko o ke one a hiki i ka wa i ulu ai a hua a ai ia ka io e kanaka, a na lakou i hoolaha ae ma na wahi a pau mai Hawaii a Kauai, a hiki i keia la. Oia moolelo ia no ka niu.

Here is the second: Being brought here by man. It is thought that Apua and his brother went to Kahiki and brought the coconut here to Hawaii, because they were sons of Kahiki who came to Hawaii, but it is not known where they first landed on Hawaii. It is thought that they first landed at Puna, because there is a place in Puna called Apua, known so to this day. That is why it is thought they first landed there. Eia ka lua. O ka lawe ia ana mai e ke kanaka. Ua manao na Apua ma no i kii i ka niu i Kahiki a lawe mai i Hawaii nei, nokamea, he mau keiki laua no Kahiki a holo mai i Hawaii nei, aole nae i hoomaopopoia ko laua wahi i pae ai o Hawaii nei i kinohi. Ua manao ia nae ua pae mua laua i Puna, no ka loaa ana o kekahi inoa ma Puna elike me ka inoa o Apua, oia inoa no a hiki i keia wa, oia ka mea i manao ia ai ua pae mua laua ilaila.

From there they came and landed at Lanai on the eastern side of the pali of Kaholo. The name of the place now is Kaneapua; it is derived from the name Apua. When they came that time they did not bring any plants, because they thought all the plants of Kahiki grew here. And because they got in trouble and were famished, that is why they went back to Kahiki for food. When they arrived at Kahiki, the canoes could not land on account of the high surf. Mailaila mai laua a pae i Lanai, ma ka aoao hikina o ka pali o Kaholo. O ka inoa i keia wa o Kaneapua ma ka inoa no o Apua i kapa ia ai. Ma ia holo ana mai nae a laua aole laua i lawe mai i na mea kanu no ka manao ua ulu na mea apau o Kahiki ianei. A no ka nui o ko laua pilikia pololi, nolaila, o ko laua hoi hou no ia i Kahiki i ka ai. I ko laua hiki ana i Kahiki, aole i pae na waa i ka aina, no ka nui o ke kai koo.

I ka holo ana, o Apua, oia no mamua maluna o ka manu o ka waa nana e nana i ka pono o ka holo ana. I ka holo ana, ua hoopiha ia na waa i ke akoakoa i mea e hoopunipuni ai. Ia lakou e lana ana, ike maila o Kaulaku i na waa, manao maila he mau waa kuai ai, nolaila manao maila ia aole e hiki ke pae iuka no ka nui o ke kai, nolaila, hoikeike maila o Kaulaku i ka maia, ike akula o Apua a kulou ihola ke poo ilalo, i aku i kanaka: “E hoikeike aku i ka puna”; hoike akula lakou he puna wanawana ulaula e like me he ili maia la o waho me ka i ana aku o Apua: “E hai aku oukou he maia ia; ua ulu, ua kupu, ua lau, ua hua, aia no i Hawaii na hua.” A lohe aku la o Kaulaku i aku la oia i kanaka: “E, ke i maila lakou la he maia ua loaa no ka ia lakou aia no i Hawaii.” Ia manawa kiloi ia maila o ka hua, o ke kumu, o ka lau, o keiki; pau maila ia lakou nei, e ia nae ua pau lakou nei i ka pololi ia wa.

Hoike hou ia mai no ke kalo; hana no lakou nei e like me ka hana mua, ua ulu, ua kupu, ua lau, ua hua, aia no i Hawaii na hua, o ka lakou la hana no ke kiloi iloko o ke kai pau no ia lakou nei i ka ohi.

Another value: It was used for house building. It was used for the houses of chiefs in the olden times, and often helped in the construction of large houses of the people and the chiefs. They were used for door posts, posts for the gates of pens confining animals, hat blocks for the women, even to this time. They are also used for a bowl in which to pound noni, hili, coffee, etc. Eia kekahi. O ka hana ia ana i laau hale. O ia laau no ka laau hale o na ’lii i ka wa kahiko, a paa na hale nui o na kanaka a me na ’lii, oia no ka pani puka kikiki, he mea pou puka pa holoholona, he mea pahu papale na ka wahine, a hiki mai no i keia wa, he pahu kui noni, kui hili, kui kope a pela aku.

This tree is large and tall, though some are short. Its leaves are unlike those of other trees growing here. The leaves grow in a bunch in one place; their narrow lanceolate segments project in parallel lines. The fruit comes out of the body, sprouting out amid the hollow of the leaves. When the fruits first come out they can not be detected, for they are [encased] in wrappers; when the wrappers are broken through, then [the cluster of flowers] would be seen. When the flowers fall off, then the fruit [in a cluster] would be noticed hanging down. Its meat is very palatable. O ke ano o keia laau he nunui, he loloa, he pokopoko no hoi kekahi. O kona mau lala aole i like me ko kekahi mau laau e ae e ulu nei. O ka ulu ana o na lala he ulu pupupu no i kahi hookahi, o kona lau he manamana; o kahi e puka ae ai o ka hua, mai loko ae no o ke kino a puka ae ma na poaeae o na lala. O ka hua, aole i ike ia i ka wa e puka ae ai, ua paa i ka wahi ia, aia a nahae ae ka wahi, alaila, ike ia aku na pua. A pau na pua i ka helelei, alaila ike ia aku na hua i ka oloolo mai. O kona io he ono loa.

Ke ano o ka hua. Ke ano o ka hua he hua poepoe. Aole nae i poepoe elike me ke uliuliu ka poepoe, aka, he kihikihi o waho, he omuomuo aku o lalo. Oia kona ano. O ka io aia iloko, aia a ihi ia ka pulu, a wahi ia ae ka iwi, alaila loaa ka io ua keokeo me he hau la no ke kuahiwi. A maloko o laila he loko wai. Ekolu ona maka; elua maka ike ole, hookahi maka e puka ai ka wai.

2. E imi i ka waiwai o ka pulu. Ua hana ia ka pulu i kaula. Elua ano o ke kaula i hana ia ia wa; he kaula hili palaha, he kaula hilo maoli. O ke kaula hili palaha, ua hana ia i lanalana waa, i kaula pahee a me kekahi hana e ae no e pili ana no ia kaula. Ina e kuai ia, ua loaa no ke kala, oia hoi he kanaha anana, elima kala.

The twine regularly twisted. This was used for making netting for calabashes, and for fishing lines. There were many kinds of network of strings made in the olden times for the chiefs, and so forth; but if the calabash netting were to be sold for money, one, two, three or four dollars could be secured for each calabash netting. How valuable! Another thing: door mats for wooden houses of the white men were made of husks. That is the value of the husk. O ke kaula hilo maoli ia. O kona waiwai he koko, he aho lawaia. He nui na ano koko e hana ia ai na na ’lii i ka wa kahiko, a pela aku, aka, ina e makemake ia ke koko e kuai i ke kala, ua loaa elua, ekolu, eha kala no ke koko aha; waiwai no! O kekahi, ua hanaia i mea hehi wawae ma ka puka o na hale laau o na haole i keia wa. Oia ka waiwai no ka pulu.

3. The value of the shell. Here are the uses of the shell: as calabashes, fish bowls, awa cups, hula calabashes, rings, tobacco containers, spoons, bowls for pounding bait, and water cups. 3. Ka waiwai o ka iwi. Eia ka waiwai o ka iwi. He umeke, he ipukai, apu awa, puniu hula, komo lima, poho paka, he puna, he poho kui palu, he kiaha wai.

4. The value of the meat. Here are some of the uses of the meat: the meat of the coconut is palatable; when it is scraped until a large bowl is filled and strained, it looks like milk; cook the potatoes and, when done, clean and mash, and mix with the milk of the coconut; when it is eaten it is exceedingly palatable; that is called the poi palau. It is also mixed with raw taro and baked in the imu. It must be tightly bundled so as not to flow in the imu (oven). When it is eaten it tastes like pork cooked under ground. This is called kulolo. 4. Ka waiwai o ka io. Eia ka waiwai o ka io. He mea ono ka io o ka niu, ke wawahi ia i piha ke poi nui, kanana a maikai me he waiu la ke ano; a kalua ka uala a moa, alaila, lomi pu me ka niu a wali, i ka ai ana aku, aole o kana mai o ka ono, a kapa ia kona inoa, he poi palau. O kekahi, he hui ia me ke kalo maka, kalua i ka imu a moa me ka wahi ia a paa loa i ole e kahe iloko o ka imu. I ka ai ana aku ua like me ka puaa hoolua ka ono. Ua kapa ia kona inoa he kulolo.

5. The value of the leaf. In the olden time here in Hawaii the leaves of the coconut were used for making mats, skirts, hats, fans, and fishing baskets, cover for lanai of houses, and in thatching for houses. It is said that a man once used a coconut leaf with which to jump from a coconut tree into the sea. 5. Ka waiwai o ka lau. I kinohi i ka wa naaupo o Hawaii nei, ua hana ia ka lau o ke niu i moena, i pa-u, i papale, i peahi, i eke lawaia, i mea lanai hale, a he mea kukulu hale. Ua olelo ia me ka lau niu i lele ai kekahi kanaka mai luna aku o ke kumu niu a haule iloko o ke kai.

6. No ka aila. He aila kekahi waiwai o ka niu. Penei ka hana ana. I ka manawa opiopio o ka niu oia ka wa kupono e hana ai i ka aila. I ka hana ana halihali aku ke kanaka i ka pahu a kukulu ma ke kumu, malalo pono o kahi e kau ana o ka hua o ka niu, alaila kii aku o ka hua opiopio, ooki ae i ka muo, alaila kulu aku ka wai a loko o ka pahu, a pau ia, lawe hou aku ana ma ia kumu aku ana, pela no e hana mau ai a piha ka pahu, alaila hoihoi i ka hale e hana ai a lilo i aila. I ka puhi ana ua like me ka aila o ke kohola ka aa maikai. He hamo lauoho kekahi hana.

7. Ka waiwai o ka niau. Ua hana ia ka niau ma Hawaii nei i ka wa kahiko a maikai loa, he mea manai kukui, he mea niau kahili i haku ia me ka hulu moa, palahu, a me ka hulu manu e ae no na ’lii. Ua hana ia nohoi i mea kahili lepo no luna o na moku, a me loko no hoi o na hale moe o kanaka. He mea hula puili no ka wa kahiko. Ua hana ia no hoi i mea pahele aama.

Such is the whole story concerning the coconut which was sought with much weariness. [Kauwenaole.] O ia ka moolelo e pili ana i na mea a pau o ka niu, i imi ia me ka luhi. [Kauwenaole.]

The coconut is one of the tallest trees growing down in Lahaina. This is how the coconut was obtained: it was brought here by a man with very long bones, named Kane. He came from the border of Kahiki and brought it with him. O ka niu, oia no kekahi laau loihi e ku nei makai o Lahaina. O ke kumu i loaa mai ai ka niu, ua lawe ia mai e kekahi kanaka iwi loihi, o Kane ka inoa. No kukulu o Kahiki mai oia, a nana no i lawe mai.

This is how Kane brought the coconut: formerly it was short, about one yard. When it was planted it was attended by much labor. A man could reach for the fruit with his hand without climbing. But here is the strange thing: when a certain chief wanted coconut he ordered his servant to climb for some. When the servant reached for the coconut the tree lengthened and grew taller. He was surprised at this lengthening of the tree, so he climbed up. The tree grew taller until it was one hundred fathoms high; so he descended and went to the house of his master. The master asked him: “How about the coconuts?” “I did not get any; to be sure it is only low, but when I started to climb it grew very high.” The chief asked: “Then you did not meet Kane, the owner of the coconut?” He said he had not. The chief answered: “That is the reason you did not get any.” It was a famous saying among the children of that time that you can not get the coconuts of Kane. That was the queer thing about this coconut tree. Penei ke ano o ka lawe ana mai o Kane i ka niu. I ka wa mamua he pokole ua like me ka iwilei hookahi. I ka wa i kanu ia’i ua nui ka hana ana. Ua hiki no i ke kanaka ke lalau aku me ka lima, me ka pii ole ae iluna. Eia ka mea kupanaha, i ka wa i ono ai kekahi alii i ka niu, kena aku oia i kona kahu e pii aku i ka niu. I ka wa i lalau ae ai ka lima, o ka wa no ia i pii ae ai ka niu a loihi. Haohao ihola ia i ke kumu o ka pii ana o ka niu, hookokoke aku oia. O ka wa noia e pii hou ae ai a hiki i ka hanele anana, a hoi ihola oia ilalo hele aku oia a hiki i ka hale o kona haku. Ninau mai la oia ia ianei: “Pehea aku nei ka hoi ka niu?” “Aole i loaa he uuku wale no hoi, i pii ae ko’u hana, o ka pakela loihi aku ia.” Ninau mai ke alii: “Aole ka paha i halawai oe me Kane, ka mea nana ka niu?” Hoole aku oia. I maila oia, “O ia no ke kumu nui o ko nele ana.” A he mea kaulana no ia i ka waha o na keiki oia wa, ua pane ae lakou penei: “Aole e loaa na niu a Kane ia oe.” A pela iho la ke ano eepa o keia laau he niu.

Here are the values of the coconut: its fruit is very palatable; it is made into sweet potato pudding, taro pudding or starch pudding. That was the way the old people used it. It was, however, kapu; only men could eat it. Coconuts were also offered in temples so that the gods might be propitiated. Eia na mea waiwai o keia laau o ka niu. He ono loa kona hua, ua hana koele palau ia, a kulolo paha, a i ole ia he haupia. Pela ka hana ana o ka poe kahiko, he kapu nae, na ke kane wale no e ai. Ua kau ia no kekahi niu maluna o ka heiau i mea e maliu mai ai ke ’kua.

Another benefit was: its shell when made into calabashes for the chiefs, as also awa cups. These are the principal values of this tree. I am not proficient on this subject. There is much difficulty attending the search for its origin, and this is what I have ascertained. If any person knows anything further, he had better reveal it to the public. Sema. O kekahi waiwai ua hana ia kona iwi i umeke ai na na ’lii, a he apuawa kekahi. O ia iho la ka waiwai nui o keia laau. Aole no wau i makaukau no keia kumu manao. He nui no ka paakiki o ka imi ana i ke kumu o ka loaa ana mai, a o ka’u wahi mea no ia i loaa. Ina ua lohe kekahi poe, ua pono no ke hai ae imua o ke akea. Sema.

THE PARENTS WONDERED. KA HAOHAO ANA O NA MAKUA.

While the parents were at their work cultivating, the father thought of the children, and said to the mother: “Go and see to our children.” As the mother went along and called out, there was no response from them. She hunted here and there in the banana field, but couldn’t find them. Then she raised her voice in wailing at the loss of their children, and chanted this chant: A ia i ka wa o na makua e nana ana i ka laua hana, oia ka mahiai, haupu ka makuakane o olelo aku i ka wahine: “E hele aku oe e nana i na keiki a kaua.” I ka hele ana o ka wahine a kahea aku, aole o laua nei pane iki mai.

CONCERNING THE HANDLE TO TIE TO. NO KA LAAU E PAA AI UA KOI LA.

The handle is an important part; any kind of wood would not do. Look for a piece of wood with a crook at the end to which the adze would fit. Peel off the bark, leaving the wood. Then shape it nicely and flat enough to fit the stone, care being taken to try it on the stone often to get a good fit. When the wood fits the stone, the work is done.

HISTORY OF THE AWA. MOOLELO NO KA AWA.

This plant is plentiful in Hawaii nei, and perhaps in other lands also; it is large underneath, and it has branches which are jointed like the sugar-cane; it has large leaves, though there are some with small leaves. He laau nui keia ma Hawaii nei ame na aina e ae no paha, o kona ano he nui olalo a he mau lala maluna, he punapuna no hoi e like me ke ko, a he lau nunui a he lau lii no hoi kekahi.

KAHI I LOAA MAI AI KA AWA.

Ua olelo ia no Kahiki mai keia laau, na Oilikukaheana i lawe mai he mau laau lawaia keia nana. I kona holo ana mai a pae ma Kauai, ike oia i ka wahine maikai o Kamaile, o ka hoowahine iho la no ia, a malama ia ua mau laau nei e Kamaile, a mahope kiola ia e Kamaile a ku ma Waialeale, o kekahi hoi haule a loaa ia Moikeha, a lawe ia mai e Moikeha mai Kauai mai, me kona ike ole i ke ano oia laau, lawe ia mai a kanu ia ma Halawa, ma Oahu. A ike o Moikeha i ka ulu ana o ua laau nei, holo keia hai aku i ka mea nana ka laau, oia hoi o Oilikukaheana, hai mai ia he paholei ka inoa. Noho o Moikeha a ulu ua laau nei a nui, no ka pohihihi iaia o ka inoa hele oia ia Ewa, oiai e noho kaawale ana o Ewa me Halawa, aole no hoi e ike wale ia o Halawa, oia ka mea i olelo ia ai: “Ike ole ia aku Halawa la; Aina i ka mole o Ewa la,” a pela aku.

He went to Ewa, and she told him to go and get the plant. So he went for some, and found that the roots had grown large. So he pulled up the plants, roots and leaves, and brought them to Ewa. Ewa said: “Let me first eat of this plant, and should I die, do not plant it, for it would be valueless; but should I not die, then we will be rich.” When Ewa ate it she became drunk and was intoxicated all day. When she awoke she called the plant “awa”; from thence forward this plant was called awa, the awa of Kaumakaeha, the chief. There are many other places mentioned as to where awa came from. It is said that birds brought it and planted it in the forests of Puna, Hawaii. Others say that a son of Hiilei brought it. But this is what I have been told by friends as to the origin of the awa. O ko ia nei hele aku la no ia ia Ewa, o ko Ewa olelo mai la no ia e kii i ua laau nei. O ko ia nei kii aku la no ia ua kolo ke a-a, ko ianei huhuki mai la no ia o ke kumu o ka lau, ku ana imua o Ewa, a olelo aku o Ewa: “E ai mua au i keia laau a i make au, alaila, mai kanu oe aohe waiwai, aka ina aole au e make, alaila, waiwai kaua.” I ka ai ana a ua o Ewa, ona iho la ia a po ka la, ala mai la ia a kapa mai la i ka inoa he awa, mailaila mai ke kapaia ana o keia lau he awa, o ka awa a Kaumakaeha, ke ’lii. He nui aku no na wahi i olelo ia no kahi i loaa mai ai ka awa; ua olelo ia he mau manu ka mea nana i lawe mai a kanu ia ma ka nahelehele o Puna, ma Hawaii. O kekahi, he keiki ponoi no na Hiilei, o na wahi wehewehe no ia i loaa ia’u no kahi i loaa ai ka awa, mai na hoa mai.

HOW IT IS PROPAGATED. O KONA WAHI E ULU AI.

Ua olelo ia o kona wahi e ulu ai oia ka aka, oia hoi ka lala, aia a kakiwi ia a kaomi ia me ka pohaku, a kolo ke a-a, alaila lawe e kanu i kau wahi e makemake ai, a o kekahi i ka wa e ka ia ai ka awa oia hoi ka uhuki ana, poke ae no i ka lala a hoolei iho iloko o ka lua o ka puawa i huhuki ia ae ai, a kanu apaa, a omaka ae, ua kapaia ua omaka he nihopuaa, alaila lawe e kanu. O ke kanu ana a’u i ike he like me ke kanu ana o ke ko.

NAMES OF VARIOUS AWA. NA INOA O NA AWA.

Papa, Makea, Mokihana: these have white branches and large leaves. Should the Papa be planted it would produce Papa and the root Moi; these have black skin on their branches. There is also the awa root Hiwa. These are the principal kinds that I have learned of. VALUE OF AWA ROOT, THE PART FROM WHICH THE BRANCHES SPROUT. Papa, makea, mokihana; he keokeo ko lakou mau lala, he nunui ka lau. A ina e kanu ia ka papa, puka mai he papa ame ka puawa moi, he eleele ka ili o waho o kona mau lala. He puawa hiwa, na puawa ano nui iho la no ia i loaa ia’u.

Ka waiwai o ka puawa; oia hoi kahi i ulu mai ai na lala. He nui na waiwai o keia mea i ka wa kahiko, he mea kuai nui ia e na kanaka, i mea inu, i mea lapaau mai. Penei e hana ai ina he mea mai, o ka laau ihola no keia ame ka puaa hiwa, i loaa ka pu-pu o ka awa; e mama a loko o ke kanoa, a nui a hoka, oia ke kalana ana ae i na oka awa oloko, apau ia hoo-hee aku iloko o na apu, alaila, pule aku ke kahuna i na aumakua a pi aku i kekahi awa no lakou, o ka wala aku la no ia, hoonuu mai na poke puaa ae, hoonoenoe keia i ka po, loaa ka mea e kunewa ai i ke ao. Pela no hoi ka poe hoonohonoho akua, ina e hoi mai ke akua a noho iluna kena koke i awa i ai na ke akua; o ka mama iho la no ia o ka awa inu aku la apau, pela aku ana no, hele ia a ukolekole, nana aku oe makole launa ole, ka mea hoi i olelo ia:

Again, if one has sworn not to talk to another, and later they wish to make up, they must use some awa root. There are other things where awa root is needed and used. Another thing, it is not proper to eat food before drinking the awa; drink the awa first, then eat the food; then one becomes intoxicated. A o kekahi; ina ua hoohiki kekahi me kekahi aole laua e ike, aia a makemake laua e ike, me ka puawa alaila ike, ame ke kahi mau mea e ae no, me kahi huluhulu awa no e pono ai. Eia kekahi, aole e pono e ai e mamua o ka wa e inu ai i ka awa, o ona ole ka oia, a pau ka awa i ka inu alaila ai ka ai, alaila ona.

Awa root is one of the valuable things sold in our kingdom. You can see the quarters disappearing frequently evening after evening, to secure that which would cause profound sleep at night. O ka puawa nohoi kekahi mea waiwai e kuai ia nei ma ko kakou aupuni nei. Nana aku oe o ka oiliili mau no ia o na wahi hapaha, i kela ahiahi keia ahiahi, i loaa ka mea hoomoemoe o ka po.

THE VALUE OF THE LEAVES. KA WAIWAI O KA LAU.

The leaves are large and flat, somewhat like those of other plants. Here is the value: when one is sick, spread the leaves underneath and lay the patient on them, and the illness will disappear, provided it is such as can be cured by that medicine. O ka lau he palahalaha nunui, ane like no me kekahi mau laau e ae, eia ka waiwai o ua lau nei; aia a hiki i ka wa mai, haliilii ia ka lau malalo alaila moe iho maluna, he ola no i na no o ka mai kupono ia laau.

PLACES FAMOUS ON ACCOUNT OF THIS PLANT. NA WAHI PANA NO KEIA LAAU.

At Kamaile, Kauai; at Halawa, Oahu; at Maui are the awa roots of Eleio, but I do not know where they grow; at Puna, Hawaii, if I mistake not; whereat on Molokai, I do not know. Another famous place is Hakipuu, Oahu, at a place called Hena; there is located a stone awa container and a stone awa cup. A man named Kapuna went there and drank some awa; and when he came home he was drunk and went to sleep, and died from the intoxication of the awa; and where he died there appeared two ridges; the ridges were joined at some place; those were the legs; there is also a small hill at the place; that was the head of the man. That place is known as Kapuna; this place is mauka of Hakipuu, Oahu. This place is also called Hena, where the awa is noted for its intoxicating quality. Aia ma Kamaile i Kauai, ma Halawa i Oahu, ma Maui nei o na puawa a Eleio, aole nae au i ike i kahi i ulu ai; ma Hawaii, Puna, ke ole nae au e kuhihewa, ko Molokai aole i maopopo ia’u. Aia no ia wahi pana ma Hakipuu, ma Oahu, o Hena ka inoa, aia no malaila he kanoa pohaku, he apu pohaku, a i ka hele ana o kekahi kanaka, o Kapuna kona inoa, a inu i ka awa, a i kona hoi ana, ona ia a moe a make loa i ka ona o ka awa, a i kona make ana malaila, kualapa ihola malaila elua kualapa ua hui ma kekahi wahi; oia ka na uha, a he puu uuku kahi malaila, a oia ka ke poo o ua kanaka nei; kapa ia ia wahi o Kapuna, aia ma uka o Hakipuu i Oahu. Kapaia ai keia wahi o Hena, kahi o ka awa ona.

This is what I have gleaned from friends through inquiry. John Mana. O kahi mea iho la no ia i loaa ia’u, ame ka ninaninau ana aku i na hoa. John Mana.

Here is one prayer upon cutting the trunk and its branches: “Hew mountainward, hew seaward; hew thither, hew hither. Pick out, O Sun, a competent canoe builder. Witness, ye heavens! witness, ye earth, the hewing of our canoe!” Eia kekahi pule no ke oki ana i ke kumu ame ka welau: “E kua i uka, e kua i kai, e kua i o, e kua ia nei, e nana e ka la, i kamana waa; e ike e ko luna, e ike e ko lalo nei i ke oki ana o ka kakou waa.”

Then would these men begin cutting the tree until it falls. If the canoe is for fishing purposes, a different petition is offered for the hewing of that canoe tree. If it is intended for sale, another prayer is used at its felling. There are also separate divisions in the prayer for cutting off the branches, the trunk, for shaping it, for hauling it down to the beach, for the construction and for launching it into the sea. The only trouble is I do not know them. Kauwenaole. Alaila hoomaka akula ua mau kanaka nei e oki i ka laau a hina ilalo.

THE MAILE. NO KA MAILE.

O ka maile kekahi o na laau hihi e ulu nei ma Hawaii nei. A ke manao nei au oia no kekahi o na lau nahele mai Kahiki loa mai, e ulu nui ana ma ko kakou mau kuahiwi. E ulu pu ana hoi me na laau nui, a liilii, na laau hihi, a kokolo, e ulu hihi ana ma na wahi uliuli, me na lau onaona o kanahele, o ka uku waokele, ma na ulu laau o na kuahiwi o kakou nei.

WHERE IT NOW GROWS. KONA WAHI E ULU NEI.

The maile grows in the mountains, in the valleys, on hills, by the side of streams up in the mountains, in unfrequented places in the mountains, in the tall forests, on side hills and on green hills. Some places show only scant growth; at other places it is plentiful. It does not grow in dry places, on rocky lands, on plains, or at the sea beach. But only far up in the mountains where the fog settles all the time in the wilderness. Ua ulu ka maile ma na kuahiwi, na kualono, na pae puu, na mauna, ma na kae o na kahawai o uka lilo, na wao, na waokele, na hanahanai pali, a me na pali hauliuli.

Aka, aia wale no mauka lilo ma kahi paa mau i ka ohu, maloko o na ulu laau waonahele.

Elua no ano o ka maile i loaa ia’u, aka, hookahi no onaona, a hookahi no hoi ala, a me na wahi kaulana o lakou i ulu nui ai: 1. Ka maile kuhonua. O ka maile ku honua, ua ulu nui no ia ma na wahi apau a’u i hai ae nei, he maile hihi no ia. Aka, he pono no nae ia’u e hoike ’ku ia oukou, ma ka mea i ike ia e a’u ma ko’u wahi. Nokamea, ke ui ae nei au i na hoa, a he okoa ka ia ano maile i kapaia, kuhonua, ma na kuahiwi o kela wahi keia wahi o ko kakou pae moku nei. He maile lau ane poepoe, a ane loloa keia, aka, aole nae i loloa wiwi makalii loa, elike me ka maile laulii, ua ane like paha me ka lau o ka alani. I ka wa opiopio o ka ulu ana ae, hookahi no kumu, hookahi no lala, ma na ulu laau o ko’u wahi, he iwilei a oi, a hookahi anana ka loa, oia lala liilii opiopio maikai, i paa pono i na lau uliuli aala, he pahee oia i ka lima o ke kanaka ke huki mai, a koe ’ku kona iho.

Should it grow along and is not touched by man, then it will have a stout stem, and the branches will creep all over other plants and trees, like the morning glory, or plants of a like nature; and the branches which come from the main branch are also easy to strip like those heretofore mentioned. A ina mai kona ulu ana ae mai kona wa opiopio, aole i loaa iki i ka lima o ke kanaka, alaila, e nui ana oia olalo; a hihi nui iluna i ka wekiu o na laau, elike me ke kowali, a me na mea ano like apau, a o na lala i kupu ae mai kona kino hihi ae, he mau lala maikai no ia e like me ka mea i hai mua ia ae nei.

Gently floating is the fragrance, The beauty of yon mountain, Of the wilds of Alakai, Towards the lehua in the mists. Mapumapu mai ke ala Ke onaona oia kuahiwi, O ka nahele o Alakai Ia kalehua make noe.

2. The small-leaved maile. This maile does not grow abundantly in some places, and does not grow at all in other parts of our mountains. This also is a creeping maile, somewhat different from the maile ku honua; this has narrow leaves like the bambu, small and somewhat like the leaves of the willow, or something like the leaves of a young koa tree; it grows profusely at Koiahi, the mountains of Waianae, Oahu, hence the expression, “the small-leaved maile of Koiahi.” This maile is famous to the people from Hawaii and Kauai. It also grows at the pali of Nuuanu. I have seen maile there resembling this small-leaved maile. Some grow at Kauai, though not exactly as fine-leaved as this, but because it does not grow profusely there, the natives of the place call it the small-leaved maile. This is found on the eastern side of the precipice of Haupu in line with the water (spring) of Kemamo and the curly bananas of Kanalehua. 2. Ka Maile Laulii. O keia ano maile aole oia ulu nui ma kekahi wahi, a nele loa no hoi ma kauwahi o ko kakou mau kuahiwi nei. He maile hihi no keia, ua ano okoa oia mai ka maile kuhonua ae, he lau liilii oheohe keia, he makalii he ano like paha me ka lau o ka wilou, a i ole ia me ke koa laulii, aole no au i ike pono loa i ke ano o kona ulu ana, ma ka lohe, ua ulu nui oia ma Koiahi, ma na kuahiwi o Waianae ma Oahu, kapaia “ka maile laulii o Koiahi.” Ua kaulana nui keia maile ma ka waha o na kanaka mai Hawaii a Kauai, pela nohoi ua ulu no ia ma na pali o Nuuanu, ua ike au he maile lau liilii no malaila i ano like me keia. A ua ulu no ma Kauai kekahi, he makalii no, aole no i like loa me keia maile, aka, no ka ulu nui ole malaila kapa aku na kanaka malaila, he maile laulii. Aia ma ka aoao hikina o ka pali o Haupu e kupono ana i ka wai o Kemamo, a me ka maia piipii o Kanalehua.

ITS DESIRABLE QUALITIES. KONA MAKEMAKE NUI IA.

The people of Hawaii nei are very fond of maile, and I think our ancestors were also fond of it, and yet it may not be. Maile is used a great deal during feasts, for greens and for decorative purposes. The place is generally decorated with the greens of the mountains; the inside as well as the outside is skilfully decorated; the living house is also decorated; greens are secured for decorations for the inside to make it attractive; maile is used for leis for the people; for men, women and children; for the chiefs, the noted people, and the rich people; for the farmer, the oppressed, the branded servant. The people of Hawaii nei were very fond of this deep green leaf of the forest because of its fragrance. And because it was so very much desired by the people, therefore it was greatly used in the composition of songs, hulas, chants, dirges, and various other compositions. Ua makemake nui ia ka maile e na kanaka o Hawaii nei, ke manao nei au he mea mau no paha ia mai na kupuna mai, aole paha? Ua lawe nui ia ka maile no na ahaaina nui, i mea hoouliuli a hoowehiwehi.

HISTORY OF THE WILIWILI. HE MOOLELO NO KA WILIWILI.

The wiliwili is one of the useful trees of Hawaii nei; but it is not like other trees the stories of which were told us heretofore. It is not like other trees which are growing now. This is what I have gathered from inquiries of friends. They state that this tree is indigenous to Hawaii nei, but I do not know of the place where it first grew. This tree is rough in its kind. We have therefore the basis. O ka wiliwili oia kekahi o na laau maikai o Hawaii nei; aole nae i like kona ano me na laau e ae a kakou i ike iho nei i ko lakou mau moolelo mamua iho nei. Aole no hoi i like me na laau e ae e ulu mai nei, nolaila, eia na mea i loaa mai ia’u ma ko’u ninau ana aku i na hoa. Ua hai mai lakou no Hawaii nei no keia laau, aka aole i loaa ia’u kahi i ulu mai ai keia laau. O ke ano o keia laau he ooi, nolaila e loaa ia kakou ka manao mua.

KE ANO O KA OHIA KUMAKUA.

Its trunk is like that of the koa, but its bark is like that of the kukui. Its trunk is soft when it is cut, and its bark is insipid to the taste, though it is used as food in times of distress from hunger up in the mountains. This wood is used in the construction of large and small houses, though it quickly rots; it is used for fence posts, and for guiding rods for the ends of fishing nets. Its flowers are of two kinds, white flower and red. Such are the characteristics of this tree.

This is a beautiful woman, and this ohia puakea was named after a beautiful girl named Waiakea, for she lived there until she was old, then she said like this: “Where art thou, Aulii?” Aulii answered: “Here am I.” “Go and get my ohelo fruits and bring them back; Kealia (Oahu) has them. Should he ask you, ‘What do you want here?’ then say to him, ‘I came to get the ohelo fruits of your daughter Waiakea, for she is very fond of them.’ ” Then those fruits were given. And when Aulii returned and arrived at the house of Waiakea, she asked: “Where are the fruits?” “Here they are!” answered Aulii, and when Waiakea looked she realized that they were not what she wanted; then the fruits were called “puakea”; this tree has white flowers, and its fruit is also white when it is ripe; it is palatable when eaten. It has one round seed split in two parts; the birds are fond of the nectar of its flowers. The bird snarers used the branches on which the flowers were thick to put their gum on, and when a bird was caught the snarer would call out, “Snared, snared is my bird,” etc. The bird must be secured as quickly as possible. Its trunk, as also its branches, is used for firewood.
