The young man who aided Umi was the friend that was placed in charge of the district 

 of Puna when Umi became the king of Hawaii. 



We will now take up the matter of the journey of Umi around Hawaii. 



After the king had visited through the district of Hamakua he continued on 

 into Waipunalei, the land separating Hilo from Hamakua. Waipunalei was the land 

 owned by Kaoleioku and the land in which he had alread}^ erected, at the time when 

 he was in humble circumstances, a large temple. The temple, however, had never 

 been dedicated by a human sacrifice offered on its altar. When the}' arrived at this 

 place, Umi saidtoKoi: "Go and fulfill j^our promise and kill Paiea and those who 

 were against me." Koi assented to this and started on his errand, killing Paiea and 

 all those who had shown their ill feeling against Umi in that section of the country. 

 At the end of the slaughter Koi returned with the body of Paiea, which was offered as 

 a sacrifice on the altar in the temple erected by Kaoleioku, in Waipunalei. 



In the course of Unii's and Kaoleioku's stay in Waipunalei, the government 

 was firmly established in Umi, and Kaoleioku assured him that he would be the undis- 

 puted king of Hawaii to the end of his days. Because of these ceremonies they made 

 a very long stay at this place before they again continued on their journey around 

 Hawaii. After a circuit of Hawaii had been made they returned to Waipio where the 

 king took up his residence. 



The time consumed on this circuit was two summers and two winters, making 

 about two years on the journey. The common people as well as the chiefs received 

 Umi, the new king, graciously. 



After this return to Waipio, where the king made his residence, Kaoleioku 

 returned to his possession, the district of Hilo, to reside, leaving Omaokamau, Piimai- 

 waa and Koi with very many people with the king. 



While Kaoleioku was in Hilo, Umi began courting a young chiefess of high 

 rank who was connected to the king by blood. When Kaoleioku heard this he 

 expressed his disapproval of the royal match by saying: "Umi must not marry a 

 woman of his own blood, because he already owns the whole of Hawaii. He should 

 take as a wife the daughter of Piilani of Maui, Piikea by name, so that Maui would be 

 united to Hawaii by ties of blood which would assure a lasting peace with that island." 

 This was pleasing to Umi as well as to his chiefs. 



CHAPTER VII. 



How Umi and Piikea, the Daughter of Piilani, the King of Maui 



Became United. 



After the advice of Kaoleioku to Umi was agreed upon by all the chiefs as 

 well as the king, Omaokamau was sent to Maui to inform Piilani of the desire of the 

 chiefs of Hawaii, that Piikea become the wife of Umi. After the matter was fully 

 understood and the arrangements perfected, Omaokamau set out for Maui and landed 

 at Kapueokahi in Hana, a place close to the Kauiki hill. As the double canoe was 

 making the shore the people of Maui became greatly excited, for they thought this
