swirl from the ground, cutting the small toe, the small finger and the tip of the ear 

 off the same side. Kawelo then fell to the ground and laid there. As Kawelo was 

 lying on the ground, Kaehuikiawakea said to Kahakaloa: "Strike him another blow, 

 so as to kill him, for I see his eyes staring at us." When Kahakaloa heard this, he 

 answered by chanting the following lines: 



He is dead, for it is the blow from the young; 



The young makes but one blow to kill, . 



Else he will go down to Milu*' 



And say that he was struck twice*'' by Kahakaloa. 



Thus was Kawelo the great soldier killed. 



Kahakaloa then said to Kaehuikiawakea: "Let us return and partake of some 

 food and when our hunger is satisfied, then I will come down and kill my opponent."^" 

 The two then returned. Upon their arrival on the top of Nounou hill, Kahakaloa said : 

 "I have downed Kawelo. I have returned to have something to eat, and when I have 

 satisfied my hunger, I will then return and kill my opponent." When Aikanaka heard 

 this, he ordered his two chief stewards, Kapinaonuianio and Nioiwawalu, to cook" a 

 chicken for Kahakaloa. When Aikanaka saw that the small toe of one of Kahakaloa's 

 feet was cut off, he asked: "Why is your small toe cut?" Kahakaloa replied: "Such a 

 thing is bound to be cut off sooner or later, for it sticks out so." Aikanaka again 

 asked: "And your small finger, what has become of it?" "Such a thing too is bound 

 to be cut off, for it projects out so." "And your ear?" "That also is bound to be cut 

 off, for it curves out so at the top." 



After the chicken was cooked, Kahakaloa proceeded to have his meal and he ate 

 thereof until he was satisfied. After finishing the food in the calabash, he took the 

 empty calabash and placed it over his head and started on down the hill. When he 

 reached the bottom, Kamalama saw him and so he informed Kawelo of the fact say- 

 ing: "Here comes a bald-headed man down the hill; his forehead is awfully shiny." 

 Kawelo then said to Kamalama: "That is not a bald-headed man, it is Kahakaloa. 

 He went on back to have something to eat, and, after finishing the food that was in 

 the calabash, he has taken the calabash and put it on his head. That is the reason 

 it is so shiny." 



Upon the arrival of Kahakaloa in the presence of Kawelo, he discovered that 

 Kawelo was sitting up. Kaehuikiawakea then said to Kahakaloa: "Kawelo has come 

 to life again, therefore you the soldier will be killed. I cannot be killed, for I am a 

 rimner." 



When Kawelo saw Kahakaloa approaching, he stood up and prepared for the 

 conflict. Kahakaloa was also preparing himself and stood on the defensive. Kawelo 

 then raised his club and tapped the forehead of Kahakaloa, and forcing the calabash 

 down over his eyes; before Kahakaloa could uncover his eyes, Kawelo again raised 

 his club Kuikaa and struck Kahakaloa, killing him. 



"Shades of Milu, the under world. "Puhohi, to cook in ti leaves in a calabash with hot 



"Thus modifying his glory, or fame. stones. 



"Boastingly confident.
