slaughter of the rebels. Some escaping, ran upwards to Ouli at Waimea that night 

 and were there slain by their own men being under the impression that they were 

 Lonoikamakahiki's men running away. Thereby the remaining rebels who escaped 

 from the battle of Puupa were also killed. It is for this reason that this fight of Lono- 

 ikamakahiki's was called Puupa, and was the third of his battles. 



On the da}' following the night of battle at Puupa, rumors began to spread every- 

 where that Lonoikamakahiki was at Puupa. Those who were encamped at Haleoka- 

 puni in Kawaihae, in accordance with a j^revious understanding had by them, would 

 not ascend Puukohola unless a man on the side of Lonoikamakahiki should be slain ; 

 then only would Puukohola be scaled for human sacrifices. For that reason the rebels 

 rested with high hopes, based on their former understanding and anticipations of victory, 

 because Kanaloapulehu and Kanaloakuakawaiea were celebrated for their great prowess. 



On the night following Lonoikamakahiki arrived at Kawaihae with his force of 

 men, and Pupuakea's force came by way of Nakikiainihau, and revealed themselves. 

 Kanaloapulehu, seeing the force of Pupuakea, sent out four hundred men to give him 

 battle. At the same time that the men were on the way to intercept Pupuakea, Lono- 

 ikamakahiki had taken possession of Puukohola by a strategic move made during the 

 night and was occupj-ing the top of it. Immediately the battle commenced, and Kana- 

 loapulehu was afterwards made prisoner by Lonoikamakahiki's warriors, and Kanaloa- 

 kuakawaiea was repulsed with what was remaining of the rebels, Lonoikamakahiki 

 being the victor that night, recording the fourth night battle won by him. 



This battle of Lonoikamakahiki at Puukohola was named the Kawaluna, be- 

 cause of the night strategy successfully executed by him on that occasion. Kanaloa- 

 pulehu, having been made prisoner, was killed and laid upon the altar (lele). So died 

 the general of the rebels. 



CHAPTER X. 



Defeat of Kanaloakukawaiea and the Rebels. — Lonoikamakahiki's 



Victory. 



After the victory by Lonoikamakahiki at the battle of Puukohola and the 

 repulse of Kanaloakuakawaiea, the remaining great general of the traitors was forced 

 to the top of Puainako. That eminence is aboiit four miles to the north of Kawaihae. 



On the night of the battle of Puukohola, including the following morning, after 

 having pursued the men (Kanaloapulehu's) from Puukohola, Lonoikamakahiki's war- 

 riors commenced moving. Pupuakea and his men, however, had already arrived at 

 the precipice of Houokoa during the darkness of early morning with the intention of 

 capturing prisoners, but none were captured, however. So Pupuakea returned and 

 met Lonoikamakahiki descending at Pahonu. The two divisions of Pupuakea and 

 Lonoikamakahiki were then brought together again. They then held a consultation 

 as to the direction they should take. Pupuakea and Lonoikamakahiki desired to go 

 by way of Waimea, but the wish of the priest, Hauna, was to proceed by the Kohala 

 route to Puumaneo and there make preparation for battle. Lonoikamakahiki heeded 

 the advice of the priest.
