ikaniakaliiki built a temple of rocks as a place for the offering of their prayers and the 

 making of oaths to Lonoikamakahiki's god to fully seal the covenant. 



Kapaihiahilina observed that Lonoikamakahiki was sincere in his desires and at 

 that moment gave his consent to return with Lonoikamakahiki. After their religious 

 observance at this place thej' returned to Kona and resided at Kaawaloa, in South Kona. 



(Tradition sa3'S because of the covenant entered into for the erection of the mound 

 of rocks at Anaehoomalu, the boundary between Kohala and Kona was named Keahua- 

 lono, and that place has been known ever since by that name signifying the erection of 

 a mound of rocks by Lonoikamakahiki.) 



After Lonoikamakahiki and Kapaihiahilina had returned home he resumed the 

 office of premier as formerly. After his reinstatement to his former position a confer- 

 ence was held between him and the king as to how to get rid of the slanderers of Kapa- 

 ihiahilina from the royal presence. It is stated that Kapaihiahilina had refused to 

 return to Kona with Lonoikamakahiki at the time they met at Anaehoomalu, the exact 

 conversation running as follows: "I will not return with you again until those who 

 slandered me be got rid of from your presence; then only will I return with you." By 

 reason of this the conference was held. Lonoikamakahiki sought the wishes of Kapa- 

 ihiahilina as to what disposition should be made of his slanderers, whether they should 

 be slain, and if that, it was agreeable to him also. Should Kapaihiahilina express the 

 desire to banish them, Lonoikamakahiki would acquiesce to that also. Lonoikamaka- 

 hiki was bent on satisfying Kapaihiahilina's every wish. 



At the conference stated for the consideration of this matter Kapaihiahilina de- 

 cided to put to death those who had slandered him. In order to mitigate the horrible 

 death which the slanderers would meet, by actual killing, it was decided that they 

 should die in war. In this manner were the slanderers put out of existence. Kapaihi- 

 ahilina ever after became firmly entrenched as a favorite, and he acted as premier even 

 up to the time of his death. 



Thereafter, and up to the time of Lonoikamakahiki's death, there were no more 

 wars, no rebellions ; all was peaceful. After Lonoikamakahiki's death it is said that 

 the kingdom of Hawaii became the patrimony of Keakealani, and from his reign on to 

 that of the successive kings until the time of Kamehameha, we are told by tradition 

 that no great wars ever again took place. During the reign of Keoua, however, the 

 several district chiefs rebelled.
