314 Fornander Collecti07i of Hawaiian Folk-lore, 



Because of this Hauna took the women aud tied them together with a loin cloth 

 and led them to the place where the canoes were lying. Because these women were led 

 b}' Hauna, the place where this act took place was given the name of Kaohao and it so 

 remains to this da}-. The place is in Kailua, Koolaupoko, Oahu. 



The women were taken by Hauna to the canoes where he said to one of them : 

 "This canoe shall be yours with everything in it from stem to stern, including the men. 

 The men shall be your servants; the}' are not for you to sleep with. And as he had 

 spoken to her, so in like manner he spoke to the second woman. He then left the 

 women and proceeded to meet Lonoikamakahiki. 



CHAPTER VIII. 



How Lonoikamakahiki Revealed the Bone.s. of the Chiefs Killed by 



Keawenuiaumi. 



When Hauna went up to meet Lonoikamakahiki, Lonoikamakahiki said to him: 

 "If you had not arrived this day I would have been cooked in the umu, for it is now 

 ready." Hauna replied : "You have won. Show them the bones of the chiefs killed 

 in the battle in the time of your father, Keawenuiaumi. 



At that moment Hauna reached for the bones of the chief of Kohala, which were 

 plaited with feathers and fastened together by netting,' and said to Lonoikamakahiki: 

 "Here is the chief Palahalaha, the chief of Kohala, son of Wohilani." He had been 

 residing with us, and seeing how few we were, left, and at yovLV father's battle on Puu- 

 maneo^ died at our hands. We secured the bones and put them away in the gourd 

 container." At this time Lonoikamakahiki seized them and threw them in front of 

 Kakuhihewa and began chanting: 



Level iudeed 



Lies Kohala, 



Face down. 



The fragrance is wafted to me 



Of the flower of Koolau, of Moolau. 



Low indeed lies Puakea, 



With Kukuipahu by its side. 



Here are some more ! 



As this bundle which Lonoikamakahiki threw reached Kakuhihewa he said to 

 Lanahuimihaku and others: "Who is this?" Lanahuimihaku and the others said: 

 "This is Palahalaha, the chief of Kohala, the son of Wohilani. He resided with Keawe- 

 nuiaumi, and seeing how few we were, left, and at the battle of Keawenuiaumi on Puu- 

 maneo we slew him. He was also a younger brother (cousin) of Keawenuiaumi. 

 Kohala is a beautiful country and is a large district." 



' Showing the method of enshrouding and decorating the bones of the alii. 



' This was probably one of high rank rather than a chief, in which case it refutes the idea that the 7t'o/ii was a "royal 

 title assumed only by the Oahu chiefs of the highest rank until comparatively modern times." 



^The important battle of Puumaneo here spoken of must have been a rebellion against Keawenuiaumi. The carry- 

 ing about of the bones of the vanquished chiefs by a successor of the victor is shown in this case to have been for the 

 purpose of evidence, and they are identified by one who participated in the conflict.
