Note 20 — CONTENTS.

Here is another thing: On the eastern side of the hill is a place of refuge20 where those fleeing from battle sought safety, also a hill where those who fled [from other troubles] were assured protection. That was probably the place to where Kahekili the great and his soldiers fled after his battles with Kamehameha, chief of Hawaii. In the battle fought below Kauaula where Kamehameha was victorious, they [Kahekili and his forces] ran to the place of refuge for safety; when the Hawaii forces commenced to climb, stones were rolled down on them; thus Kahekili escaped from the great spear of Kamehameha; thus the Maui forces escaped.
