Set your eyes at my spear, 



Wink and you will be pierced through. 



Kamalania then poised himself with firmness and threw a spear at Kawelo. 

 At tliis throw, the spear struck tlie breast of Kawelo glancingly, and it flew up and 

 into the sea beyond the further line of breakers. Kanialama then took up the second 

 spear and threw it at Kawelo, when Kawelo chanted forth: 



The points of the spears of Kamalania passed very near to my navel ; 

 Perchance it is the sign of land possession. 



At the close of the spear throwing, Kawelo proceeded to the Apuakehau stream 

 and had his bath; after his bath, he returned to the house and ordered his chief 

 steward, Puikikaulehvia to bring him some food and meat. The chief steward then 

 brought him forty calabashes of poi and forty packages of baked pork, and Kawelo 

 began his meal. But this did not satisfy him, so another like amount was brought, 

 which at last satisfied him. 



After this meal, Kawelo turned and asked of his two uncles from Kauai : 

 "What has brought you here to Oahu?" The uncles answered: "We have come for 

 you. Your parents have been driven away to a different place, having neither food 

 nor fish. Their one food is head lice and nits. As your strength has been voiced 

 all over Kauai, your parents have sent us to come and request of you to go and 

 make war on Aikanaka. That is the mission that has brought us here. Let us 

 therefore sail." 



After Kawelo had heard the message from the men from Kauai, he called 

 for his wife, Kanewahineikiaoha, to go to their father in Koolau, Kalonaikahailaau, 

 and procure from him a certain stroke" of the war club. He said: "Go and ask for 

 the stroke called Wahieloa." Kanewahineikiaoha consented to do this. Kawelo then 

 continued: "Also ask for the bow and arrows that are used for shooting rats, and 

 also bring the axe used for hewing out canoes, for I need them as weapons to fight 

 Aikanaka with." At the conclusion of Kawelo's instructions to his wife, she started 

 out. After she had passed by the stream of Apuakehau and the coconut grove of 

 Kuaakaa, Kawelo then said to Kamalania: "Follow after your sister-in-law so that 

 you will be able to hear the unkind remarks of my father-in-law.""

Kalonaikahailaau was the father-in-law of Kawelo, his daughter Kanewa-

were the points in the use of the war club. Kawelo message, 



had been taught its use in all defense strokes but one ; 

 this he now required.
