When at last Pele looked, there stood Kamapuaa on Akanikolea, still alive. Again 

 Pele ordered that the fire be rekindled. As soon as. Kamapuaa saw the fire was again 

 burning, he called out for his sister, Keliiomakahanaloa, who came up in the form of a 

 small cloud from the south, and when it was directly over the pit of Kilauea, a heavy 

 rain fell which filled the pit until it overflowed, putting out the fire of Pele; and the 

 only things that were saved were the fire making sticks. The hog forms of Kama'''' then 

 descended into the jjit of Kilauea until the whole place was overrun with hogs. Kama- 

 puaa then changed himself into the form of a hog, opened wide its mouth, showing its 

 tusks, and swallowed Halemaumau, taking in Pele, her sisters and brothers, and they 

 were kept within his stomach until Pele and the others were almost dead. But when 

 Lonoikiawewaealoha, the fickle god, the love making and unstable god, saw this he put 

 compassion in the heart of Kamapuaa and his gods and Pele and the others were saved, 

 otherwise Pele would have been killed. Shortly after this, Kamapuaa left Halemaumau, 

 whereupon Pele ordered Lonomakua to again start the fire. Lonomakua then took up the 

 two pieces of wood and began rubbing them together"^ and in time the fire was started 

 and the kindling wood was put on, and after a while the pit of Kilauea was again filled. 

 The fire came up until it reached Kamapuaa, who was standing on Akanikolea. He then 

 called for his different supernatural bodies, such as the trees, olomea, liala, the iihaloa 

 and amaiimau, and these different things began to grow, shutting off the fire. This 

 battle was maintained for some time, no one gaining a single advantage. After the 

 battle had been maintained for some days Pele and Kamapuaa lived as husband and wife. 

 During this union the two made a compact, dividing Hawaii into two parts ; Pele taking 

 three districts, Puna, Kau and Kona, the districts having the most lava rocks ; while 

 Kohala, Hamakua and Hilo went to Kamapuaa; these districts being the ones free of 

 rocks. This ended the war between the two. 



CHAPTER V. 

 The Fifth Battle, Between Kamapuaa and Makalii. 



After the battle between Pele and Kamapuaa had been fought he sailed from 

 Hawaii for Maui ; then to Molokai and from there to Oahu. After a short stay in Oahu 

 he continued his journey to Kauai and landed at Kipu. On his way inland he met Lima- 

 loa who was proceeding to the home of Kaneiki, a chief and ruler of one of the districts 

 of Kauai, he having in charge several of the ahupuaas of that island. The reason of 

 Limaloa's visit to the home of Kaneiki was to court his two daughters. In this journey 

 Kamapuaa had changed himself back to his human form, handsome and pleasant to look 

 upon. Therefore Limaloa adopted him in reciprocal friendship. While on their way 

 Limaloa said to Kamapuaa : "With your efforts I shall win the two girls as my wives, 

 for I have given them all my possessions, but still I have not been able to win them." 



On this journey the two reached Kemano, a spring of good drinking water, and

became ignited by friction.
