Note 2 — CONTENTS (continued 6)

When Makaioulu left Ewa, he went toward Waianae. At the hill of Kapolei, on its western side, he met a robber who was sitting on the edge of the road, with a kuia2 stick in his hands, a war weapon of Hawaii nei. When he came up to the man Makaioulu uttered his greetings, but the other would not respond. Makaioulu turned and proceeded on his way. The man then hurled his kuia which Makaioulu noticed by the shadow which passed over his head. He parried the kuia with his club and then turned and said: “Here, I am going to kill you; for I greeted you with love and you did not respond, and I see that murder was on your mind.” Just then the man started to run with all speed. Makaioulu chased after until he caught him, grabbed him by the neck, turned the face upward and killed him. Then Makaioulu went from that place till he came to Makua,3 where he met two women who understood the art of breaking bones, and where he came near being killed; but because of his own skill and knowledge of the art himself he escaped death, and the women were killed by him.
