hu" to this clay. The death of Kanaihalau was reported to Kaahumanu in Oahu, who 

 thereupon began to wail until she came into the presence of Kamehanieha, and when 

 Kamehameha heard of the occurrence, he commanded that Malaihi be killed. Thus 

 died those chiefs. 



OF MAKAIOULU. 



Makaioulu was one of Kamehameha's celebrated warriors in the war between 

 Oahu and Kamehameha, at Nuuanu. Kaalamakaoikuwa was the warrior of Oahu, and 

 resided at Luahenewai, Waikiki-kai. Makaioulu with a companion warrior, Naaimo- 

 kuokama by name, came and met Kaalamakaoikuwa. Instantly Makaioulu was seized 

 and held prisoner, while Naaimokuokama ran away. And while he was running, Ma- 

 kaioulu called after him: "Do you run away and leave me?" When Naaimokuokama 

 heard this he stopped. Makaioulu then said: "Hurl that spear that you hold in your 

 hand straight to my navel." Naaimokuokama did so, and at the same time that he did, 

 Makaioulu dodged to one side, the spear striking Kaalamakaoikuwa and killing him. 

 Makaioulu escaped, and they went thence to Puowaina. 



Here were ten soldiers, who when they saw the two, pointed their ten spears at 

 them at the same time. And while they were doing this, Makaioulu turned rearward 

 and said to his companion: "Say, if they hurl their spears to my front, you stand side- 

 ways ; and if they hurl at my side you stand at my right. Do not wink or you will be 

 hit." Makaioulu then faced about and went forward. And when he came near to the 

 ten men they hurled spears at him. He dodged and the spears missed him. As their 

 spears missed him, Makaioulu made a sweep with his war club which caught six men, 

 four escaping. 



They went thence to Niuhelewai where Kupaka was stopping. He was a cele- 

 brated warrior of Kahahana, the great chief of Oahu, before the reign of Kalaikupule. 

 When the two arrived at the place, Kupaka made a lunge with his spear at Makaiou- 

 lu without result ; Makaioulu, however, had a narrow escape from death, because he 

 had his club in his left hand. Kupaka was, however, killed by Makaioulu. 



The two continued on to Kalauao, at Ewa, where they met with a large number 

 of warriors who surrounded Makaioulu. He considered a way for his escape from the 

 hands of these people, and at last found it. He said to them: "H you all were to 

 fight me, it will be to your shame. The best way is that one of you engage me, that 

 is right; but if you mob me you will be ashamed, because I am only one." They con- 

 sented and stood up one by one. By so doing they were all killed by Makaioulu. 



When Makaioulu left Ewa, he went toward Waianae. At the hill of Kapolei, 

 on its western side, he met a robber who was sitting on the edge of the road, with a 

 kuia" stick in his hands, a war weapon of Hawaii nei. When he came up to the man 

 Makaioulu uttered his greetings, but the other would not respond. Makaioulu turned 

 and proceeded on his way. The man then hurled his kuia which Makaioulu noticed 

 by the shadow which ])assed over his head. He parried the kuia with his club and 

 then turned and said: "Here, I am going to kill you; for I greeted you with love and 

 you did not respond, and I see that murder was on your mind." Just then the man 



'A kuia stick was a war weapon, said to be a cross between a long dagger and a short spear.
