Having come to that understanding tliey proceeded from Kawaihae until they 

 reached the precipice of Honokoa, and reached on to the Kohala side. At that moment 

 Louoikamakahiki noticed the footprints of the rebels, and the victors began to search 

 for more traces and they were innnmerable, as indicated by the withered pili grass. 

 Lonoikamakahiki's forces followed the trodden path and lo ! there were the rebels in large 

 numbers encamped at Puainako. The rebels having first seen the forces of approaching 

 men made their escape in every direction. However, before the final understanding 

 had been reached at Puhaukole, Pupuakea already had dispatched a messenger to in- 

 vestigate the condition of the rebels who were repulsed at the battle of Puukohola. 



During the progress of Lonoikamakahiki's search they came across the messen- 

 ger which had been previously sent out, who reported that the vanquished were fleeing 

 over the pili grass. The conquerors gave chase, meeting them on the beach at Kahua, 

 when Pupuakea slaughtered them on the pili grass as well as at the beach, their repulse 

 having scattered them in every direction. As for Kanaloakuakawaiea, he fled to the 

 canoe landing and ordered the men to cover him with pebbles ; the covering was only 

 partial, however. Lonoikamakahiki and his men soon arrived upon the scene and 

 Kanaloakuakawaiea was there slain. 



When the men of Hilo heard that their chief was killed, they also offered them- 

 selves to be slain with him. The victors slaughtered a large number of them. Some 

 of them scrambled over the clinkers along the beach at Kahua, like shrimps clinging 

 to the rocks in a stream. Then it was that Pupuakea chanted : 



Routed, are you, indeed you are routed ! 



Beaten, are you, indeed you are beaten ! 



You treasonable land pirates ; 



You are scattered about, are you. 



Like water shrimps,' 



Onto the rocks in the stream. 



You were routed sometime ago, 



For the battle was like a freshet. 



The battle in the shower of sand at Kaunooa, 



The night battle at Puupa. 



In the general war at Kawaluna 



The land pirates were easily defeated. 



Merely by the wind from the war clubs. - 



Men are sacrificed indeed, by Lono. 



It was a victory. 



Lono was victorious. 



You treasonable chiefs ! 



This battle of Lonoikamakahiki's was called Kaiopae, and the landing place 

 was named after this battle and is known as such to this day. 



After the defeat at Kaiopae, victory continued to follow even into Kohala. 

 Upon their arrival there the rebels were in a state of preparedness for war at Hinaka- 

 hua, in Kapaau of Kohala. The rebels observed the victors approaching on the high- 



' A lively similitude of utter routing. " By the force of wind in the swirl of the war club.
