Note 7 — CONTENTS (continued 4)

Olomana7 was twelve yards, or six fathoms in height, if standing and measured from the head to the feet. When Palila arrived at the top of the Nuuanu cliff he laid down his club and sped8 on till he reached Kaelepulu, the place where Olomana was standing. In this flight of the club, Palila seized hold of the end and was carried by it until he lit on the shoulder of Olomana, whereupon Olomana asked Palila: “Where are you from, you most conceited boy? for my shoulder has never been stepped on by anybody, and here you have gone and done it.” Palila replied: “I am from the kapued temple; from Alanapo in Humuula, Kauai. My name is Palila and I am a soldier.” When Olomana heard this he was sore afraid and begged of Palila that he be saved. Palila, however, refused, saying: “You shall not live.” Palila then slapped him cutting away one half, being that mountain which is Mahinui and leaving one half, the hill of Olomana, which stands at the same place to this day.
