Note 13 — CONTENTS (continued 6)

This was Kamehameha’s second battle against his enemies, who were Keoua and Keawemauhili. This battle took place on the mountains in Kau,13 which are called Kauaawa,14 on account of the rains in the mountains. In this battle, Kamehameha’s supporters, who were also his chief advisors in the work necessary for the battle, were Keeaumoku, Keaweaheulu, Kameeiamoku and Kamanawa. In this battle Keoua and Keawemauhili were not defeated by Kamehameha, so he retired to Laupahoehoe. After spending some time there, he again embarked in a canoe to fight for the conquest of Hilo and Puna.
