you must run." Kakohe then started off and Piimaiwaa accompanied liim. They 

 ran until one ahupuaa was passed, when Kakohe fell down to the ground and he 

 remained there exhausted. When Umi arrived at the place where Kakohe was lying, 

 he said: "Exhausted, are you?" Kakohe said "Hu." This expression, "liu", was 

 intended to be for "u", meaning "yes", but being so exhausted, the "u" was changed 

 into "hu". Umi then said to Kakohe: "This is your land, one ahupuaa, while Nunu 

 has two ahupuaas. You two will make your own arrangements in reference to their 

 use." Turning to both the old men, Umi continued: "All of the things that are grow- 

 ing on your lands are yours, and you two shall do what you wish with your lands 

 without any reference to me; and you can leave the same to yoMX heirs after you."' 

 At the close of these remarks to the old men they all returned to the Waipio Valley 

 where they lived. 



It became a common thing to see Umi practicing the art of throwing the spear 

 with his immediate followers, Koi, Omaokamau and Piimaiwaa. These three men 

 were the bravest of his followers and because of this fact they were made his chief 

 warriors. The one who was the strongest and most skilful of the three, the one whose 

 left arm was as good as his right, was Piimaiwaa. Koi was good with his left and 

 weak with his right arm, and this was the case with Omaokamau. 



After Umi had been in Waipio for some time, Kaoleioku said to him: "O king, 

 I believe it most proper that you should make a trip around Hawaii." When Umi 

 heard this he was much pleased at the suggestion and directed Piimaiwaa to go on 

 ahead and notify the different landlords of the proposed trip to be made by the king, 

 and to order them to prepare food and meat. Piimaiwaa then set out, and as he came 

 to the different landlords he would deliver to them the orders of the king, to the six 

 different districts, those of Hilo, Puna, Kau, Kona, Kohala and Hamakua. 



CHAPTER VL 



Relating to the Trip Made by Umi the King and His Chiefs 



Around Hawaii. 



When the arrangements relating to the king's trip were concluded Umi 

 expressed his wish to Kaoleioku that the first place to be visited be Kawaihae, as he 

 wished very much to see this place. When Kaoleioku heard this wish of Umi, he said: 

 "It will not do for you to travel toward the west. The proper thing for you to do is 

 to travel toward the east first, this being your first journey around your kingdom. 

 If you were a chief of the lower order, then it would be right to travel westward." 

 By these remarks of Kaoleioku Umi was satisfied. 



Soon after this conference Umi, together with Kaoleioku and the chiefs who 

 had charge of the different districts and a very large following, set out, going by way 

 of Hamakua. After spending about twenty days on the road at different places in 

 Hamakua they arrived in Laupahoehoe (where Paiea was living).
