my stake." "Yes," said Kemamo, "and what else?" Kapiinohu i"e])lied: "That is all 

 a traveler takes with him. If you heat me my life shall he forfeited, and if I should heat 

 you your life shall be forfeited." Kemamo agreed to this and the bet was declared 

 made. Kemamo then said: "The course over which we shall compete in throwing the 

 stone with the sling, shall be from Koloa to Moloaa in Koolau. We must make our 

 throws over these points and toward Moloaa; whoever throws the greatest distance be- 

 yond Moloaa wins." Kapunohu replied: "Yes, I will agree to that, but I am going to 

 use my spear while you use your sling." Kemamo agreed to this. Kemamo then asked: 

 "\\'ho shall take the first chance? Shall it be the stranger, or shall it be the native 

 son?" Kapunohu answered: "Let the native son take the first chance and the stranger 

 the last." 



Kemamo then took up his sling and threw his stone, which went six miles and 

 over, and it only fell and rolled after it had entered into the seventh mile, stopping at 

 Anahola, where it was picked up by the best runner of Kauai, a man by the name of Ka- 

 waikuauhoe. Kajumohu then threw his spear, darting along from Koloa and over Niu- 

 malu, and as it shielded the sun from the coconut trees at this place the land was given 

 the name of Niumalu," as known to this day; then it went on and into the water in 

 upper Wailua, giving the i)lace the name of Kawelowai as well as the land next to it 

 which is called Waiehu; from this place it again took an ui)ward flight flying along 

 till it pierced through a ridge at Anahola, which is called K.alaea, leaving a hole 

 through it, which can be seen to this day; from this place it went on past Moloaa, then 

 past Waiakalua, then into Kalihikai, where it grew weaker and finally stopped at Ha- 

 nalei. 



Kemamo was therefore beaten and the conditions of their bet were carried out. 

 Kapunohu became thereby king of Kauai.
