and finding out how few we were, left ns and took to fighting ns on Puumaneo, but he 

 was also slain, and this is he." 



Hauna again produced the bones of the chief of Kona and said to Lonoikamaka- 

 hiki: "Here is another chief, Moihala, the child of Heapae, the chief of Kona. He was 

 also a younger brother (cousin) of your father. He lived with us, and because we 

 were few, deserted and went elsewhere ; he rebelled against Keawenuiaumi, and at your 

 father's battle on Puumaneo was also slain, the bones stripped and put into the gourd." 



Lonoikamakahiki, holding the bones in his hands, chanted thus : 



This is Moihala, 



Inquiring of the wind, 



The bird of Kuolohia. 



Waialeale, the mountain, 



Waialeale, the mountain. 



Kawaikini is flowing, 



Of Kane in the calm. 



I, the lover, shall follow 



To Waialua where I leave her, 



Leave her in the home of friends. 



It was there I found friends, 



Where I may visit. 



Here are some more ! 



Lonoikamakahiki threw the bones in front of Kakuhihewa, who inquired of 

 Lanahuimihaku and the others who it was. They answered: "This is Moihala, the 

 chief of Kona, a large division of Hawaii. Moihala was also a younger brother (cousin) 

 of Keawenuiaumi. He resided with us, and finding out how few we were, left, went to 

 the opposite side, a rebel. He thotight by rebelling he wotild be safe, btit when putting 

 in an appearance at otir battle at Puumaneo he was slain by Keawenuiaumi." 



After the final production made by Lonoikamakahiki of the bones of the chief of 

 Kona, Lonoikamakahiki conqttered the whole of Oahti. 



Following this incident, Lonoikamakahiki spoke to Kaikilaui: "Inasmuch as 

 we have made the circuit of Oahu, you, of us, had better remain; it is good land, with 

 inhabitants both large and small." Kaikilani answered: "It is agreeable to me; but 

 we had better go to pttt Hawaii on a satisfactory basis, then rettirn again to Oahu. 

 There are the chiefs of Hawaii; the}' have rebelled and have confiscated everything. 

 As for yourself, upon arriving at Hawaii, wage battle, as the men have been thickly 

 arrayed from Anaehoomahi to the front of Kauhola." 



Becatise of this remark of Kaikilani, Lonoikamakahiki had the canoes prepared 

 immediately and departed. On this voyage Lonoikamakahiki did not touch at Kohala 

 but proceeded on to Kealakekua. Upon arrival there with his men, the chiefs of Kona 

 and the men were all at Kohala awaiting the arrival of Lonoikamakahiki there to be 

 slaughtered by them. Upon Lonoikamakahiki's arrival he sent a messenger to Kan 

 to get Ptiptiakea to come to meet his elder brother (Lonoikamakahiki) to consult con- 

 cerning putting to an end the rebelliotis chiefs of Hawaii.
