intend to go to war with Lonoikamakaliiki, then j'our grounds should be at Anaehoo- 

 malu ; and should Lonoikamakahiki come to meet you, then let the battle be fought at 

 Pohakuloa, it being a narrow place; then you will be victorious over Hawaii." 



"Kamalalawalu answered: "You do not know, because I was distinctly told by both 

 Kauhipaewa and Kihapaewa that our battle field should be on Hokuula and Puuoaoaka, 

 it being a place of eminence. Lanikaula again said: "You are being deceived by the sons 

 of Kumaikeau and others ; you have been led astray, therefore listen to me, for if you 

 heed not my admonitions I do not think that you will ever come home to Maui nei again." 



Kamalalawalu became indignant at Lanikaula's remarks and drove him away. 

 But Lanikaula, out of sympathy for the king, did not cease to again give him warning: 

 "Kamalalawalu! You are very persistent to have war. This is what I have to say to 

 3'oii: Better hold temple services these few days before you proceed. Propitiate the 

 gods first, then go." But Kamalalawalu would not barken to the words of Lanikaula, 

 therefore he ended his remarks. Makakuikalani made the preparations of the war 

 canoes in accordance with the strict orders of Kamalalawalu. 



When the canoes and the several generals, together with all the men, including 

 the war canoes of Kamalalawalu, were ready floating in the harbor of Hamoa, Lani- 

 kaula came forth and in the presence of King Kamalalawalu and his war canoes prophe- 

 sied in chant his last words to Kamalalawalu : 



The red koae! The white koae!' 



The koae that flies steadily on, 



Mounting up like the stars. 



To me the moon is low.- 



It is a god, 



Your god, Lono; 



A god that grows and shines. 



Puuiki, Puunui. 



At Puuloa, at Punpoko; 



At Puukahanahana, 



At the doings of the god of L,ouo. 



Lono the small container, 



Ivono the large container. 



Puunahe the small. 



Puunahe the large. 



By Hana, you swim out, 



By Moe you swim in. 



My popolo ' is mine own. 



The popolo that grows by the wayside 



Is plucked by Kaiokane, 



Is watched over by Kaiowahiue. 



We two to Kahulikini, 



Numberless, 



Vast, without number, countless 



Are we, O Kama. 



Let us two to Anaehoomalu, 



O my chief. 



At the end of Lanikaula's prophesy as made in the chant Kamalalawalu set sail 

 with his large convoy of war canoes. It is mentioned in this tradition relative to the 

 number of canoes of Kamalalawalu that the rear war canoes were at Hamoa, Hana, and 

 the van at Puakea, Kohala ; but at the time of this narrative the opinions of the ancients 

 differed as to the accuracy of this. Some say that the number of canoes is greatly 

 exaggerated. 



Kamalalawalu having arrived at Hawaii, Kauhipaewa and Kihapaewa were 

 stationed at Puako, in accordance with the wishes of Lonoikamakahiki. At the first 

 meeting that Kamalalawalu had with Kauhipaewa and others, Kumaikeau and others
