afraid to fight him, he made up his mind iliat he would again be the master this day;' 

 so he again chanted to Kauahoa as follows : 



llanalei, the land of rain, 



The cold land, the wet land. 



The land where the end is. 



Sitting- there, delaying there. 



For the anger of Honokoa is reviling. 



At the cliflf of Kalehuawehe 



Where the lama and -i^'ilrwili''- tjloom. 



Where the rain sweeps on the outside of Mamalahoa. 



Kauahoa, the stalwart youth of Hanalei, 



The person of whom Kamalama is afraid, Kauahoa, 



For he is indeed large. 



He is the largest man 



Of Kauai, Kauahoa. 



CHAPTER VII. 



Tin-: vSizF. of Kauahoa.— Is Killed by Kawf.lo tn a Club Encounter. — Kawelo 



Vanquishes Atkanaka. 



We will here give a description of Kauahoa, his height and width. His height 

 was eight times five yards, or forty yards, or one hundred and twenty feet. He was 

 also compared to the size of eight streams, and his strength was equal to that number 

 of streams or to eight companies of forty men each, or to three hundred and twenty 



men. 



After Kawelo had chanted to Kauahoa, he looked toward his wife Kanewahi- 



neikiaoha and chanted as follows: 



Say, Kanewahineikiaoha, 



Your pikoi, throw it up, 



At Helelua, at Helelua 



At the ridge-pole of Hanalei. 



Arise thou, Hanalei, 



Until Kauahoa thou hast killed, 



When Hanalei thou shalt possess. 



And the mats of Niihau thou shalt wear. 



And the birds of Kaula thou shalt eat. 



At the close of this chant, Kawelo said to his younger brother, Kamalama, 

 and to his adopted sons Kaeleha and Kalaumeki : "Where you see the sun shine, there 

 you must stand, so that when Kauahoa strikes his club, you will not be under it, and 



"Kawelo's courage revives at recall of first incident temple; and U'iliwili (Erythrina monosl<enna), a very
