mediately turrred and started to run away. At this attempt on the part of Walaheeikio 

 to escape, Kawelo struck him with his war ckib, Kuikaa, kilhng him instantly. 



Upon the death of this warrior, Moomooikio came up and took his place. When 

 Kawelo saw him, he chanted as follows:" 



Say, Moomooikio, 



Here, take my wife and let her be your wife, 



Kanewahineikiaoha. 



Will you accept her as your wife? 



[Here the narrative is the same as that of the other warrior, that of Walaheeikio, 

 therefore that part is omitted.] 



After the death of Walaheeikio and Moomooikio by Kawelo, Kaehuikiawakea 

 ran off to the top of the Nounou hill and again informed Aikanaka of the death of 

 the two warriors. When Aikanaka heard this, he said: "At last, the cold feeling 

 has entered me, for the house that has sheltered me is broken." 



CHAPTER V. 



Relating to Kahakaloa. — His Death by Kawelo. 



While Kaehuikiawakea was speaking with Aikanaka, the warrior Kahakaloa, 

 stood up and chanted his boast that Kawelo will never escape him; continuing, he 

 said: "When did Kawelo ever learn the arts of warfare?" While he was here 

 living with us before he sailed for Oahu, where he married the daughter of Kalo- 

 naikahailaau, he knew nothing about fighting. If the strokes of the war club 

 learned by him are those of his father-in-law, then he will never escape me, because 

 I have fought against his father-in-law and our clubs only tapped one another; he was 

 not killed and I was not killed." When he finished boasting, he proceeded on down 

 the hill with two hundred men, and when they reached the bottom, the fighting began. 

 Kamalama then slew all the men with the exception of Kahakaloa whom he did not 

 tackle. When Kawelo saw Kahakaloa, he chanted as follows : 



The great haka ;" the small haka ; the long haka ; 

 The haka for the putting up of calabashes ; 

 Perhaps on this day, it shall be done. 



Kahakaloa then said to Kawelo: "My name was not given me as a place to 

 hang up calabashes. Kahaka, chief of Kauai, is my name." Soon after this, they 

 both stood up, Kawelo with his war club, Kuikaa. and Kahakaloa with his war club. 

 They both raised their war clubs together. Kahakaloa swung his war club sideways, 

 hitting Kawelo in the middle, staggering him. Kawelo then raised his chib with a
