Note 33 — CONTENTS (continued 6)

When Kamehameha with his many soldiers came over from Hawaii in his canoes, the first of the canoe fleet in charge of Kalaimoku, Kamehameha’s chief warrior, landed at Kapua.33 Just as Kalaimoku was about to disembark, Pihana, with his nine soldiers, came and stood at the landing place of Kapua. The fight then commenced. The men from Hawaii under Kalaimoku, at that time, were eight times forty in number.34 All of them threw their spears and lances at Pihana and his nine soldiers, but none were hit nor were any killed. After they had fought for some time, they moved to Waikiki where the fighting was renewed. Here the Hawaii men tried to mob Pihana, but were unsuccessful. The fighting kept moving thence to Kulaokahua, then to Puowaina,35 behind which a man of the Oahu warriors was secretly shot by a foreigner’s gun. From that place they moved on to Pauoa, and passing this place came to Kaheiki, a place adjacent to Maemae.36 Here the Hawaii forces came to a stand.
