Note 66 — CONTENTS. (continued 6)

At this moment, the brother-in-law of Kawelo advanced and said triumphantly: “There is only one way you will be spared by me66—that you return. But if you persist on coming up here, you will all be killed and no informant shall escape to the king.”67 The men were very much irritated. As they were coming up, he took hold of a boulder and began to roll it. As the boulder rolled down ten were swept away. Then the man ran and crouched behind Kawelo. Kawelo stood forth with unequalled strength and started to sweep them down, when they all fled away. Kawelo began to slay them except one who hied to the presence of the king. “What brings you hither?” the king demanded. “You are justified in asking. We are all vanquished by Kawelo, and I only am left. Perhaps I was allowed to escape to inform you. The majority are all destroyed.”
