(who were men from tlie presence of Lonoikamakaliiki) said to Kamalalawalu: "Carry 

 tlie canoes inland ; take the outriggers off so that should the Hawaii forces be defeated 

 in battle they would not use the flotilla of Maui to escape. When they find that the 

 outriggers have all been taken apart and the victors overtake them the slaughter will 

 be yours." Kamalalawalu did as he was told to do by the two old men. 



When Kamalalawalu arrived at Kohala, Lonoikamakahiki had his armj' in readi- 

 ness. Kamalalawalu learning that Kanaloakuaana was still living at Waimea he 

 concluded that his first battle should be fought with Kanaloakuaana and at Kaunooa. 

 Kanaloakuaana was completely routed and pursued by the soldiers of Kamalalawalu, and 

 Kauhiakama, and Kanaloakuaana was captured at Puako. At this battle the eyes of 

 Kanaloakiiaana were gouged out by the Maui forces, the eye sockets pierced by darts, 

 and he was then killed, the ej^es of Kanaloakuaana being tatued. 



Because of this action on the part of Kamalalawalu's men the landing place for 

 the canoes at Puako was called Kamakahiwa,' and to this day is known by that name 

 and may ever remain so to the end of this race. Because of the perpetration of this 

 dastardly act on Kanaloakuaana the following was composed by a writer of chauts, 

 being the middle portion of a chant called "Koauli": 



The drawing out of Kama, the oliia tree; Makabiwa, Makalau.
