The second canoe was Ehu's. Another beautiful double canoe came along, the 

 one belonging to Ehu, the chief of Kona. On the approach of this canoe, Kuapakaa 

 asked of his father: "Whose canoe is that?" "It is the canoe of Ehu, the chief of 

 Kona." Kuapakaa then chanted out : 



Our chief of Kona, Elm, is not a chief by birth ; 



But as Keawenuiaumi went and lived in Kiholo, 



Ehu came down from the uplands with bundles of potatoes, 



And gave them to the king. 



Ehu then became an adopted son, 



And Keawenuiaumi gave him Kona, 



Therefore Ehu became a chief.

 most conceited boy I know of. Where did you ever know of me?" With this he sailed 

 off in a rage.

 father: "Whose canoe is this?" "It is the canoe of Huaa, the chief of Kau." Kua- 

 pakaa then chanted as follows : 



Our chief of Kau, Huaa, 



He is not a chief [by birth], but a petty chief. 



He is a beater of the ilima of Kamaoa ; 



By this way the people of that land get water to wash in. 



And it is the main fault of that land 



For I have lived there and know. 



This angered Huaa and he too sailed off. 



The fourth was the canoe of Hikinaakala. Another canoe approached, and the 

 boy asked of Pakaa, and was told that it was the chief of Puna, Hikinaakala.** Kua- 

 pakaa then chanted: 



Our chief of Puna, Hikinaakala, is not a chief [by birth] ; 

 He is like the prickly edges of the hala leaf; 

 But since he became possessed of Puna, 

 He is said to be a chief. 

 He is not a chief. 



This angered Hikinaakala and he sailed away. 



The fifth canoe was that of Kulukulua. As it approached Kuapakaa again in- 

 quired of his father : "Whose canoe is this ?" "That is the canoe of Kulukulua," the chief 

 of Hilo." Kuapakaa then chanted as follows:
