Note 34 — CONTENTS (continued 5)

While Kamalalawalu was speaking, Lonoikamakahiki and all of Kona arrived. From the south of Puako to above Waimea, the men were so compact that the dirt, stones, the trees could not be detected because they were obscured by the men. Simultaneously, Pupukea appeared with the Kau, Mahiki, and Kohala contingents, and so completely blocked up Waimea as to allow no space. When Kamalalawalu met with Lonoikamakahiki,34 they resolved that Makakuikalani and Pupukea stand first to fight. Should Pupukea be vanquished by Makakuikalani, then Hawaii was conquered; but should Makakuikalani be defeated by Pupukea, then Maui was subdued. These words of theirs were agreed to by Makakuikalani and Pupukea.35
