After the conquest of Kauai, Kawelo and his wife Kanewahineikiaoha took up 

 their residence in Hanamaulu." Aikanaka on the other hand lived in the uplands of 

 Hanapepe" and in great poverty. He had no lands, no honors, no food, no meat, no 

 kapas and no home. All that Aikanaka did was to till the ground to raise food for 

 their future use. 



While Aikanaka was living there, Kaeleha started out one day from Kapaa, on 

 the east side of Kauai and traveled westward to Hanapepe where Aikanaka was living. 

 It was at Wahiawa that Kaeleha first met Aikanaka, at the home of Ahulua. Aika- 

 naka had come down from Koula to Wahiawa to fish and to take a swim in the sea. 

 When Aikanaka saw Kaeleha, he called him in and set food and meat before him 

 and Kawelowai, his daughter." After partaking of Aikanaka's hospitality, Kaeleha 

 was ashamed, because he had nothing to repay Aikanaka for his kindness. When 

 Kaeleha left Aikanaka and continued on his journey, this thing dwelt on his mind for 

 several days. 



After reaching Mana and he had decorated himself with the paJiapaha'''' wreath 

 of Polihale," he retraced his steps and again lingered at Wahiawa. On this return, he 

 did not call in to see Kamalama, for the reason that he was anxious to get back and 

 to again look upon Kawelowai. So in returning, he and Aikanaka went up to Koula 

 in the uplands of Hanapepe, where Aikanaka made his residence. In this return to 

 Koula, Kaeleha made a long visit and was therefore, to his idea, greatly indebted to 

 his father-in-law, Aikanaka. 



CHAPTER IX. 



Kaeleha and Aikanaka Rebel Against Kawelo. — Their Battle and Supposed 



Death of Kawelo. 



When Kaeleha saw how Aikanaka his father-in-law toiled by day and by 

 night, he took pity on him and asked Aikanaka : "Are there many people who 

 still think of you as king''' and who would help you in case you started an 

 uprising?"" Aikanaka replied: "Yes, many."" When Kaeleha heard this, he said: "I 

 will tell you how you can beat Kawelo and how to fight him that you might win. If you 

 fight him with stones, you will beat him, for Kawelo was never taught the art of avoid- 

 ing stones thrown at him." When Aikanaka heard this, he again entertained the idea of 

 taking up another fight against Kawelo. He then made the boasting remark: "My 

 bones are saved by my son-in-law."
