Note 39 — CONTENTS (continued 6)

After Kamehameha had fought Kalaikupule on Oahu, Namakaeha, a chief who was residing at Hilo, raised a rebellion there, and made preparations to war upon Kamehameha. At that time Kamehameha was on Oahu, and he immediately returned to Hawaii39, to fight Namakaeha. In the battle which ensued Namakaeha was slain by Kamehameha at Kaipalaoa, in Hilo. This was the last battle by Kamehameha when he assumed the administration of his whole kingdom from Hawaii to Niihau, in which he reigned peacefully to the day of his death. On the consolidation of these Islands from Hawaii to Niihau under one great ruler, Kamehameha, with all the chiefs under him, he established his policy and wisdom over all his kingdom with uprightness.
