Note 45 — CONTENTS. (continued 3)

The eleventh cane: this cane is called Malolo.45 The reason this cane was called by that name was because of a woman who bore a child; the placenta of the child was taken and left under a pandanus tree. The first name given to this cane was Puahala, but because this woman made religious observance this cane was called the Malolo. This is a tough cane, so it has been said by those who know, but I have never seen it. It is also said that this cane is used by bird catchers as an offering on snaring their first bird.
