Kawelo was born at Pupulimu,1 in Waimea, Kauai. Heulu was the father, and Haiamu was the mother, of whom the child, Kawelo, was begotten. During Kawelo’s childhood he was a timid stripling whenever his companions or others challenged him to fight. His elder brother was Kauahoa,2 who was born of the same parents. Kauahoa had been previously adopted by Haulili,3 the great one of Hanalei. The purpose for which his elder brother had been taken away was because he was found to be very strong, and, therefore, was feared lest he should kill his younger brother.
