when tlie men get tired put the hog on the ground tliat the men may rest. Tell them 

 that this is the wish of the king. This will be the only way of saving your master. If 

 he lives we will all live; but if he dies we will all die." 



When the two came up to the men at Pahoa,"" they found them sharpening their 

 wooden daggers and getting ready to cut Kamapuaa open. The sons of Lonoaohi then 

 spoke to the men using the words told them by their father. When the men heard this 

 they gave up their daggers. It was because of this fact that this place was called Pahoa 

 and it is so known to this day. The men therefore carefully carried Kamapuaa and 

 placed him in the temple. 



That night Lonoaohi slept at the post to which he was tied, his sons with him, 

 while the guards kept watch around the house; and Kamapuaa slept in the temple, with 

 his guards. Late that night when the Milky Way could be plainly seen, Lonoaohi was 

 awakened by his god. Lonoaohi then on bended knees invoked his divine help and at 

 the close of his prayer the ropes which held him fell from his body and he rose and 

 walked out of the house, where he found the guards all asleep. When he arrived at the 

 place where Kamapuaa was held bound, he found that his guards had also fallen asleep 

 and no one was watching. Lonoaohi then placed his hand along the nostrils of Kama- 

 puaa and found that he was still breathing; he was not dead. Lonoaohi then said: 

 "Saved. I thought that you were dead, but I see that you are not. These bones will 

 now be cared for." After a while he again said to Kamapuaa: "Say, I want the wai 

 lands of Oahu." Kamapuaa answered: "Hu." The meaning of the request was this: 

 that Lonoaohi was to get the lands containing the word or letters w-a-i, such as, Waia- 

 nae, W^aialua and so on. Lonoaohi was aware, through his great powers, that Olopana 

 was to be killed in the contest that was yet to come, and that Kamapuaa would come in 

 possession of Oahu. This was the reason he made this request. After this meeting be- 

 tween Lonoaohi and Kamapuaa, the priest returned to his i^lace and sat down and for 

 the rest of the night confined himself to praying to his god, for at daylight the next 

 morning he was to be placed on the altar with Kama])uaa. 



When the crowing of the cocks became general, that early morning, Olopana and 

 the priest Malae came to begin the ceremonies generally performed before human sacri- 

 fices were to be offered; this was, to prepare for the offering of the two prisoners. 

 While the two were a])proaching the steps leading to the altar, Kamapuaa was unwound 

 and placed on the anuu." Behold he was above Olopana and the priest. At this par- 

 ticular time, as the two were facing each other, both naked, reciting the prayer, and 

 while in the midst of it, Kamapuaa opened his eyes wide, when he was seen by Malae and 

 Olopana, standing above them. At sight of him they became possessed of a great fear, 

 so much so that they could not run. Kamapuaa then, while on the platform, prayed, 

 invoking his several supernatural bodies and all his gods to come to his aid. At the close 

 of the prayer the outside of the temple was filled with the gods and hogs. Kamapuaa then 

 called out to the priest, Lonoaohi, saying: 



^'Pahoa is at the head of the Waianae valley wherein "'Anuu. This was the second or middle floor of the 



is situated the sugar mill of the Waianae Co., the shore kapa covered structure of three platforms of a heiau, 



section of which is Pokai, pronounced Po-ka-i. whereon the priest usually stood wliile conducting tem- 



ple services. The higher space, termed mamao, was 

 reserved for the king and high priest only.
