said to Makakuikalani: "Go back and slay him for your opponent is not dead. Your 

 clubbing being from above only delivered a blow with the butt end." Makakuikalani 

 hearing the words of his teacher turned around and threw the butt end of his club, at 

 the same time telling him to "Shut up ! Instruction stops at home. He cannot escape, 

 he must be dead because the club strikes true." At the very instant that Makuika- 

 lani faced around to talk with his teacher, he (the teacher) was dead. 



Pupuakea was lying on the ground, stunned, but somewhat recovered afterwards 

 and raised himself up from the ground. When Makakuikalani saw that Pupuakea 

 was still alive he rushed towards him bent on killing him. 



Pupuakea observed Makakuikalani's approach so prepared himself to slay him. 

 When Makakuikalani drew near, Pupuakea raised his club and twirled it from his 

 right. At that moment Makakuikalani attempted also to lay his club on Pupuakea, 

 and when his club was twirled it skidded along the ground towards the feet of Maka- 

 kuikalani and being parried by Makaku, fell to the ground. When Makakuikalani 

 swung his club from the left side it struck the back of his own neck and he was instantly 

 killed. Pupuakea immediately stepped backward and met his master who said to him: 

 "Go back again and slay him so he be dead." The words of his master aroused Pupua- 

 kea's pride and he said to his teacher: "He cannot live, he is dead." Then looking at 

 the palm of his hand he again said to his master: "He cannot be alive because the 

 birthmark of Pupuakea has impressed itself thereon. The flying club through dust 

 has killed him." 



After the great and renowned general of Maui had fallen the Hawaii forces con- 

 tinued to slaughter Kamalalawalu and the others. Upon the death of Kamalalawalu 

 the slaughter of the Maui-ites continued for three days thereafter and those defeated 

 who ran towards their canoes found no arms and outriggers because they had been 

 broken. The repulsed warriors ran to Puako and noticing the paimalau' floating in 

 the sea mistook them for canoes. They began to waver and were again overtaken by 

 the victors. The destruction of the remaining invaders was then complete. Referring 

 to Kauhiakama the son of Kamalalawalu he escaped to safet3^ The story of his escape 

 running thus : 



On the day that the Maui forces were defeated Kauhiakama clandestinely escaped 

 to Kawaihae and from there his intentions were to hie to the caves, there to remain 

 until his side was victorious and then make his appearance. 



Hinau, one of the generals of Lonoikamakahiki and a messenger also, had great 

 affection for Kauhiakama, but it was previous to the time of Hinau's assisting in the 

 escape of Kauhiakama that he roasted some taro and, together with some dried mud- 

 fish, alread}' roasted, proceeded to search for Kauhiakama. Hinau came to Kawaihae 

 first and from there went to Kaiopae where for the first time he saw Kauhiakama, so 

 Hinau hailed him and said: "Say, Kauhiakama, remain there until I reach you!" 

 Kauhiakama looking round saw Hinau approaching, the thought of death at the hands 

 of the victorious crossed his mind, so covering his face with his hands he wept, for he
