Note 9 — CONTENTS. (continued 2)

Here are the secret graves wherein the chiefs of Nuu were buried: Makaopalena, Kealaohia and Puukelea, all on the side of Haleakala on the eastern side of Maui. Hanohano and Alalakeiki are others. At Alalakeiki a number of men from Hawaii who had brought a corpse to be hidden were killed. When those men from Hawaii had gone into the cave a man of the place, Niuaawaa by name, came along and closed up the mouth of the cave with stones, and those people stayed in there until they died. There is no living man who knows any of these secret burial places,9 so well hidden are they.
