lands in inferior numbers, and because of the enemy's niimerical weakness, mustered 

 courage to give battle to the forces of Lonoikamakahiki ; but upon the near approach 

 of the conquerors the rebels fled without any apparent reason, slaughtering each other in 

 their confusion, fleeing to hide themselves among the precipices of Polohi and Honokane. 



The rebels, however, were overtaken at Halelua and slaughtered by Pupuakea 

 with his war club. Kaiopihi, the Kohala general was slain, and Lonoikamakahiki 

 once more was victorious at this battle. This battle of Lonoikamakahiki was named 

 Kaiopihi after the incident of the death of Kaiopihi at that place, the locality being 

 known by that name to this day. 



After this battle Lonoikamakahiki rendezvoused at the iipper part of Pololu at 

 the top of the knoll of Puumaneo, where the battle was fought as directed by Haiina, 

 his guardian priest. While located on Puumaneo, reinforcements of rebels from Hama- 

 kua, Hilo, Puna and Kona arrived. Lonoikamakahiki gained a complete victory, and 

 there it was that all the rebellious chiefs were slaughtered, not one escaping death. 

 Thus Lonoikamakahiki came into control of the whole of Hawaii. 



After this signal victory Lonoikamakahiki went to observe religious service at 

 the temple at Apuakohau, and it is there that the temple called Muleilua is located. 

 After this dedication he proceeded and held another ceremony at Puukohola. Having 

 performed his duties at this place he went on, and at Kahaluu, in Kona, again held a 

 dedication service at the temple of Makolea. On the way Kapulani, a rebel chief, was 

 caught hiding in the valley by the victors. It had been previously reported that he 

 was one of the chiefs who rebelled against Lonoikamakahiki, and because of that fact 

 Kapulani was condemned to die. On the night that the council was held the intention 

 was to place him on the altar the following morning, but during the night he was 

 assisted to escape by Kalanioumi ' when he, Kapulani, made his way to Kau safe from 

 the clutches of the victors. 



CHAPTER XL 



The Departure of Lonoikamakahiki for Maui to Visit Kamalalawalu. 



Subsequent to the slaughter of the chiefs of Hawaii by Lonoikamakahiki he 

 consulted his wife Kaikilani for the purpose of going to Maui on a visit to Kamalala- 

 walu. They decided, and so did all the chiefs, to allow them to go, in consequence of 

 some plans Lonoikamakahiki had in view. On the day he was prepared to sail to Maui 

 he selected a sufficient number of men, including his strongest and best-known warriors. 

 He also selected his younger brother Pupuakea, well known as the premier and general, 

 to accompany the party. On this voyage of Lonoikamakahiki he did not forget Hauna 

 in his capacity as priest and counselor. 



The following is the tradition of Lonoikamakahiki concerning this voyage: 

 On Lonoikamakahiki's arrival at Maui, Kamalalawalu was residing at Hana on 

 the ahupuaa called Wananalua. When Lonoikamakahiki went ashore at the canoe 

 landing of Punahoa he was observed b}' Kamalalawalu, Lonoikamakahiki and his 



' Elder son of Kaikilani by Kanaloakuaana; hence, likely, the assistant toward his escape.
