Alalia, olelo hou aku o Hauna ia Lonoikamakahiki : "Eia lion no keia alii, he kai- 

 kaina no no ko makiiakane, me makon no kahi i noho ai, a ike i ko niakon unku, haalele 

 ia niakou, hele a kipi mai ma kekahi aoao, manao e hee niakon, a ke kana a makou ilnna 

 o Pnnmaneo, make ia makou pan na iwi i ka holehole, komo iloko o ka hokeo." 



A lohe o Lonoikamakahiki i keia olelo, alalia lawe ae la oia i na iwi o ke alii o Hama- 



kua a paa i ka lima, ua hakn ia no i ka hulu e like me ka hana ana i ko Kohala. A mamna o 



ko Lonoikamakahiki kiola ana akii ia mea i mua o ko Kakiihihewa alo, alalia oli aku la oia: 



Akahi au opu mai; 



Alna au opu mai. 



O Keau wale-a, 



A kanaka i ka hele i ka ua, 



Kiki a kolea. 



He hoolono pakaua o Hilo.

E ai pu no-e?

Waiho keia mea ma ke alo o Kakuhihevva. Ninau ae la ua o Kakixhihewa ia Lana- 

 huimihaku ma: "Owai keia?" Alalia hai aku la o Lanahuimihaku ma: "O Pumaia keia, 

 ke keiki a Wanua, ko Hamakua alii ia, he kaikaina no no Keawenuiaumi, me makou no 

 ka noho ana, a ike i ko makou uuku, haalele, a i ke kaua a makon iluna o Puumaneo, make 

 no ia Keawenuiaumi lilo na iwi ia makou, komo iloko o ka hokeo, oia na mau iwi."

olelo aku la ia Lonoikamakahiki: "E! Eia''"ff6u no keia makuakane ou, o Hilohama- 



kua, ko Hilo alii, keiki a Kulukulua, he kaikaina no no ko makuakane, me makou no 



kahi i noho ai, a no ko makou uukii haalele ia makou, hele a ma kekahi aoao, kipi mai, 



a i ka hoouka kaua a makou i luna o Puumaneo, make no i ko makuakane, pan na iwi 



i ka holehole, komo iloko o ka hokeo." Alalia, lalau aku la o Lonoikamakahiki, a oli ae la: 



O Hilo ia, o Hilo ia, 

 O Hilo ia o ka ua kina, 

 Ka ua kinakina, 

 Ka ua mao ole o Hilo; 

 O Hamakua ia he pali, 

 Pepe ka lauki o Kamae, 

 Kamae loa Hamakua. 

 Eia mai ua mea la ! 



Waiho ana ma ke alo o Kakuhihewa. Ninau ae keia ia Lanahuimihaku ma: 

 "Owai keia?" I aku o Lanahuimihaku ma: "O Hilohamakua ia, ka Kulukulua keiki 

 ia, ko Hilo alii ia, he kaikaina no no Keawenuiaumi, me makou no ka noho ana, a ike 

 i ka uuku o makou, haalele, a i ka hoouka kaua a makou iluna o Puumaneo, make no 

 ia Keawenuiaumi, pau na iwi i ka holehole, komo iloko o ka hokeo, oia na."
