brother-in-law." This was because the women were not allowed to cat with the men. 

 When Ka])unohu arrived at the eating house he took up the wash basin and washed his 

 hands.' While he was doing this Kukuipahu asked : "After your hands are washed 

 what are you going to eat?" Kapunohu replied: "I was called to come." Kukuipahu 

 then asked of those within the house from one end to the other, if anybody had called 

 Kapunohu to come. The people within the house all denied ever calling him. This 

 was of course meant for an insult and Kapunohu felt it deeply."* Kapunohu then went 

 back to his sister and told her of his treatment. Shortly after this Ka]jun()hu went off 

 feeling bitter toward his brother-in-law. 



From this place Kapunohu went on u]) toward the uplands until he came to a 

 row of wiliwili" trees. These trees were of large size, resembling the kukui'" trees, but 

 very light and not as hard as the wood of the kukui. Ka])unohu then, with an idea of 

 testing his strength, threw his spear at the first tree and the spear went through them all. 

 It is said there were eight hundred" of the trees which stood in a straight row. He made 

 a clean hole in each tree, all in one thrust. 



After this display of his strength Kapunohu continued on his way up until he 

 met two old men who were farming along the highway. The land which they were cul- 

 tivating is known as Nahuluaina. Kapunohu then said to them: "Say, old men, I want 

 you to each take a flag and run with all your might away from each other and where 

 you stop, that shall be the boundary'" of your lands." The names of the old men were 

 Pioholowai and Kukuikiikii. They each took up a flag and ran with all their might. In 

 their eft'ort to cover as nnich ground as possible, Pioholowai did not go very far before 

 he became exhausted and so planted his flag; because of this his land was short and 

 the name of that land is Pioholowai to this day, after his name. Kukuikiikii, on the 

 other hand, ran and covered nuich more ground before he ])lanted his flag, consequently 

 his land was much larger, and the name of the land is Kukuikiikii to this day, after the 

 old man who owned it. Because of the mode of the division of these two lands all the 

 following pieces of lands are cut off short and do not run clear up to the mountains : Hua- 

 loa I, Hualoa 2, Kealahewa i, Kealahewa 2, Kealahewa 3, Hukiaa i, Hukiaa 2, Kokoiki 

 I, Kokoiki 2, Puuepa i, Puuepa 2, Kapakai, Upola, Honoipu, Puakea i, Puakea 2, Pua- 

 kea 3, and Kamilo. Those lands are bounded today as they were made at the time this 

 story relates. They do not run clear to the mountains like the other lands in the dis- 

 trict of Kohala. 



Kapunohu continued on his way until he arrived at Waioopu in Halaula, where a 

 woman by the name of Malaula was living and with whom he lived for three days. From 

 this place he continued on his way until he came to Puaiole, in Aamakao where a woman 

 by the name of Aamakao was living and he staid here two days. From this last place 

 he continued on his way until he arrived at Niulii, where the chief of that section of 

 Kohala was living, a man by the same name, Niulii. This chief had under him all the
