Note 60 — He Kanikau no Kaahumanu Opio.
Reading edition
The fire-brands of Kauai were of auhau, the lightest of wood, and the Napali district was famous for the practice there of pyrotechnic displays by the throwing of these lighted branches of auhau from the high cliffs of the sea-coast. The upward current of the wind and lightness of the wood usually made the descent so gradual as to consume these sky-rockets before their fall into the sea. ↑
