Kekuhaupio was a very famous warrior, and was moreover a high chief of Hawaii. He excelled in courage and in skill. He could contend against the government1 and a countless number of men. Here is Kekuhaupio’s bravery as herein narrated: The spears were as bath water2 for Kekuhaupio, for he could dodge the spears, whether four hundred, or four thousand. Furthermore, he could escape being hit by the javelins, spear points, long spears, or stones within the same interval, for which fact, Kekuhaupio was much feared by every one of the chiefs and celebrated warriors of that period. His prowess even continued unto the days of Kalaiopuu3 and his reign. Likewise during Kamehameha’s rule.
