Note 41 — CONTENTS. (continued 6)

However, before an attack was commenced against them, eight piles of stones had been prepared by the men and the king on a hill, the name of which was Hulili. Immediately the ulus were surrounded, and they were trapped in the center. He (Kamalama) heard the king command that the diggers be thrust; that the stones be thrown. Kamalama said to the ulus: “There is no hope left! Seek your strength in order to escape.” The ulus began to press forward. They all fought on furiously from early morning until the sun had passed the zenith; two ulus still survived, and nine were killed. The names of the remaining ulus were Kauluikapapaakea and the friend of Kawelo, Kamalama. Nevertheless, the greater part of the men had been killed by Kamalama; and had the men been less in number they would all have been slain by Kamalama. They moved towards the sea, with a hope of securing aid should his friend41 notice [them]. The greater force pushed the battle on until Kauluikapapaakea had been killed, leaving Kamalama alone.
