Kaikilani then came in and kissed ' Lonoikamakahiki and they wept. Seeing 

 that Kaknhihewa was constantly urging Lonoikamakahiki to chant the name of Lono- 

 ikamakahiki, she asked of Lonoikamakahiki: "What is it that they are constantly 

 urging you to do?" Lonoikamakahiki replied: "They are telling me to chant my 

 name, because Lanahuimihaku and his companion have said that I am a chief without 

 a chant in honor of my name." Kaikilani then said: "Let us cease weeping and do 

 as they request." Lonoikamakahiki then faced about and recited to the people the 

 chant in honor of his name, while Kaikilani joined him. The chant is the one already 

 related above. 



At the close of the chant hy Lonoikamakahiki and Kaikilani, Lonoikamakahiki 

 then said to Lanahuimihaku and his companion : "You two men are the worst of any 

 I have known.'' If diiring my visit here I shall get a hold of this island of Oahu, I will 

 cut you to pieces while alive.' 



CHAPTER VII. 



The Dispute Between Kakuhihewa and Lonoikamakahiki About 



Hauna. 



The dispute between the king of Oahu and the king of Hawaii which ended in 

 a contest, spoken of in this chapter, was the last one engaged in by the two, after which 

 Lonoikamakahiki and Kaikilani returned together to Hawaii. 



The cause of this dispute was entirely about Hauna. It came about in this wise: 

 After Lonoikamakahiki had acquired Oahu through their former contests, Kakuhi- 

 hewa begged of Lonoikamakahiki to restore to him the island of Oahu, going about it 

 in a way as though he still owned the island, saying: "Say, King of Hawaii, I think 

 you had better restore back to me the lands you have won and let our former wagers 

 be done away with. I think you ought to propose another contest between us, and in 

 case you should beat me in the new contest then the whole of Oahu shall be 3'ours, in- 

 cluding the men of high rank and those of the low rank." 



This request for a new contest, made by Kakuhihewa, was reall}' the wish of 

 Lanahuimihaku and his companion, for they had heard the remark made by Lono- 

 ikamakahiki that they would be put to death by being cut to pieces. This is the reason 

 why Lanahuimihaku and his companion had urged Kakuhihewa to beg of Lonoika- 

 makahiki for a new contest. To this recjuest made by Kakuhihewa, Lonoikamakahiki 

 did not give a subject for their contest. 



Shortly after this, however, Lonoikamakahiki took up his calabash, which con- 

 tained his personal effects as well as other things, and placed it in front of him, and 

 then said to Kakuhihewa : "Say, King of Oahu, this calabash is filled with the bones 

 of the chiefs who were killed in the battle on the top of Puumaueo, because there were 

 six district chiefs that were slain by my father and their bones are in this calabash." 



' The kissing of olden time is well borne out in its native term, "lioni ka ihu" touch or smell the nose. 

 ^ Lono realizes the duplicity of these adherents of Kakuhihewa, seceders from Hawaii's court, 

 ^Or, "I will flay you alive."
