Wlien Kawelo heard the call of the guard, he hastily threw off the banana leaves 

 from his bod}-. While Kawelo was doing this, the guard again called out to the people 



that had come in : 



Say, Kawelo is alive again ! 

 Say, Kawelo is alive again ! 



When the people heard the guard calling out, they all turned and looked at 

 Kawelo.*" When they saw him, they all became possessed of a great fear, and prepara- 

 tions for a battle with Kawelo were hastily made. As Kawelo approached the people, he 

 chanted to Aikanaka and Kaeleha as follows : 



Say, Kaeleha, son of mine,*^ 



One, kindly brought up by me until you were full grown, 



What is my fault that you should rebel against me ; 



That caused you to take up that which has a bad ending, treason ? 



Your life is ended this day. 



Taken by your father. 



By Kaweloleimakua. 



Say, Aikanaka ! 



You shall be Kawelo's prisoner. 



This is the day to be brave, be you therefore brave. 



The day when one shall either die or live. 



Death I fear shall be your jxartion. 



Kawelo then ceased chanting and began the slaughter, killing every one; none 

 escaped.*^ Kauai therefore once more came under the rule of Kawelo, and he again as- 

 sumed the reins of power. He then returned to Hanamaulu where he lived with his 

 parents and his wife.
