Lonoikamakaliiki became angered, picked up the konane board and struck 

 Pupuakea across the forehead making the blood flow. Becaiise of this, Pupuakea was 

 angered. Instantly he reached for the charcoal and firewood, started the fire, caught 

 the chicken and choked it and tore away one of its legs. After having it skinned he 

 broiled it over a fire at the same time reaching for the awa root. While the chicken 

 was being broiled the awa was being chewed ; with three quids ' of the awa the legs of 

 the chicken were cooked, the awa strained and the cooked chicken legs placed on a 

 platter. The awa cup M'as placed in front of the king, and also all the other things 

 according to the directions given to Pupuakea. He said to the king: "The chicken 

 and the awa are ready; it ov\y awaits you to eat and to drink of the same." When 

 Lonoikamakahiki saw that the instructions he gave previous to surfing had been carried 

 out, he ate before Kamalalawalu drank his awa. 



While Pupuakea was preparing the chicken, Kamalalawalu took particular 

 notice of the peculiar manner in which Pupuakea was doing it and rather admired the 

 manner in which it was being done. 



After partaking of the awa and finishing their meal, the kings played konane, 

 ■and during the game Kamalalawalu said to Lonoikamakahiki : "Sa}^, I rather like your 

 servant. Should you go home, let your servant remain with me." Lonoikamakahiki 

 replied: "He is not a servant of mine, he is my notable and younger brother. You 

 can not have him." Therefore Kamalalawalu said: "If he is your notable and your 

 general also, then I say to you, it is a low shelf which the rats will get at."' Lonoika- 

 makahiki retorted : "He is a small maika that can cover a long course." 



After Lonoikamakahiki had finished talking, Kamalalawalu, pointing to Maka- 

 kuikalani, said: "There is my notable, my general, and my 3'ounger brother also." 



Because Kamalalawalu ridiculed Lonoikamakahiki's general, Pupuakea, Lono- 

 ikamakahiki, referring to Kamalalawalu's statement, "This my notable," remarked: 

 "He is hollow ; the swirl of the war club would stagger him ; a touch of the club would 

 kill him." In consequence of this remark of Lonoikamakahiki, Kamalalawaki replied: 

 "He is the shrivelled banana of Kaea, which will not ripen in ten days." 



The passage of words between Lonoikamakahiki and Kamalalawalu were treas- 

 ured and stored up within themselves. After a considerable time following the events 

 narrated, and subsequent to the return of Lonoikamakahiki from his tour, Kamalala- 

 walu entertained the idea to destroj' b}^ war the chiefs of Hawaii in consequence of 

 reports having been brought of Lonoikamakahiki's strength and his success in war. 



Kamalalawalu dispatched his own child Kauhiokalani, otherwise known as 

 Kauhiakama, for Hawaii instructing him thus : "You go to learn the number of people 

 there are on Hawaii, and on your return report to me." 



In accordance with the wish of Kamalalawalu, Kauhiokalani, otherwise known 

 as Kauhiakama, sailed for Hawaii. He arrived at Kohala at a landing place for canoes 

 known as Puakea. Having arrived there, the canoes were put ashore and he began his 

 itinerary along the coast of Kohala until he reached Kawaihae. On his journey he 

 found very few people. 



'Three successive mouthfuls, or by the time required for its chewing. ^A proverb of ridicule.
