napau a holo aku la ia mai Mahiki aku a uka loa o Waipio, pee. ]\Ia keia pee ana, ua loaa 

 i ka poe huli, a malaila ua pepehi ia o Kainapau, a o kona naau, ua uu ia a kaulai i ka la. 

 Oia ka hope weliweli o ka poe lokoino, kipi a hana pono ole. He make hoomainomaino ia. 



NO HEMA. 



Oia kekahi koa kaulana loa i loko o ko Kamehameha mau la, a he kanaka makau 

 ole i ko hai koa a me ka ikaika. O Hema, aole oia i ao ia i ke koa a me ke kaua, aole i maa 

 ma na hoouka kaua, aole no hoi oia he koa. Aka, he aipuupuu o Hema na Kamehameha, 

 o kana hana o ka lawe a me ka malama i wahi ai na ke 'lii i na la a pau loa. I ka wa hele 

 mao a mao, i ka wa kaua, oia ka mea lawe ai, i ka wa e kaua ai o Kamehameha a pololi, 

 alaila lawe aku o Hema i ka ai a me kahi ia. 



Ma keia mau hana a pau loa i pili i ka aipuupuu, ua makaukau loa o Hema, a ua 

 kupono i ko Kamehameha makemake, aka, aole i loaa kona inoa alii, a me ke kaulana a me 

 ka punahele. A i kona la i lalau ai i ke koa a luku aku i na enemi o Kamehameha, ia la 

 oia i lilo ai i alii, a punahele na Kamehameha, a pau kona lawe ana i ka oihana aipuupuu. 



Ia Kamehameha e kaua ana me Keoua, ma Koapapaa, i Hamakua, aia keia wahi ma 

 Kealakaha e pili la me Kaula, ma keia kahawai nui hohonu, o Kekualele kona inoa, ilalo 

 o laila i hoouka ai na koa ikaika o Keoua me Kamehameha. No ka mea, o ka honua ola- 

 lo e ku ai, hookahi anana wale no ke akea, a maia wahi i noke ai o Kamehameha me na 

 koa o Keoua, he kanaha a oi aku. Mahope o keia noke ana, ua pau loa ke aho o Ka- 

 mehameha, a ua nui mai na koa o Keoua, ia wa huli o Kamehameha i hope, aohe alii, 

 aohe koa mahope ona, hookahi wale no o Hema, o ka aipuupvni. Ia Kamehameha e olelo 

 ana me Hema, ia wa i makaukau ai na koa o ka enemi e lawe i ko Kamehameha oia, alai- 

 la, lele o Hema me kona makau ole a pepehi i na koa o Keoua, IMa keia lele ana o Hema 

 e pale i na enemi, ua lanakila o Kamehameha ia la, a ua pakele kona oia a ua hee o Keoua. 

 Nolaila, oia keia inoa o Koapapaa a hiki i keia la ; ke ano oia, ua lilo na koa i papaa na 

 ka make, o ka pololu a me ka ihe, i alanui hele mao a maanei, ua waiho ia lakou he ahua 

 lepo ma ia kahawai ia la. 



A ike o Kamehameha i ke koa lua ole o Hema, olelo aku la ia : "I keia la oe e lilo 

 ai i alii elike me a'u, a i keia la e waiho oe i ka lawe, a me ke amo i ka ukana, a e lilo oe i 

 punahele ma ko'u alo a me kona 'Hi, a pela na makaainana. O ka mea hoole i kau olelo, 

 e make ia, ina he 'Hi ka mea hoole, e hemo kona aina." Nolaila, ua kiekie o Hema a ha- 

 la ia i ka make, a ua kaulana loa no hoi iloko o ko Kamehameha mau la. Nolaila, ma ka 

 noonoo ana, aole paha he kanaka e noho ana ma na aina puniole, a me na moku o ke kai 

 i ao ole i ke akamai o ke koa, a hele e kaua e like me Hema, ka mea ao ole ia.
