The short mature [one] is the sphere 

 Who shall sweep the plain entirely ; 

 The resistant white sug'ar-cane of Kohala, 

 That injures your mouth when eaten. 



After these words, Lonoikamakahiki inquired of Kamalalawalu : "Where is your 

 land administrator?" Kamalalawaki responded : "There he is, Makakuikalani, the tall 

 man standing yonder." And when Kamalalawalu had finished speaking to Lonoikama- 

 kahiki, relative to his young brother, Makakuikalani, Pupukea answered his taunting 



words, as follows:" 



.V spider, struck by the kona wind, overturns ; 

 A banana hunch, attached by a wind g'ust, falls. 



By this speech of Pupukea's, Makakuikalani retorted with his boasting words, as 

 follows : 



A shrivelled banana of Kaea, 

 Which ripens not in ten days. 



Tn this dialogue of theirs, one was claiming that he was the more powerful; as 

 also the other. Furthermore, in this banter between them, the words were planted in 

 their minds until the period wherein Kamalalawalu fought against Lonoikamakahiki at 

 Waimea, on Hawaii. There the words of Makakuikalani and Pupukea were carried 

 into effect. 



At this point, let us discontinue their narrative and touch upon Kauhiakama, 

 Kamalalawalu's son, the one that was dispatched to Hawaii to spy.

 Combat. 



After Lonoikamakahiki and Pupukea had departed for Hawaii, Kamalalawalu 

 and his son, Kauhiakama, remained for some time. Said Kamalalawalu to Kauhiaka- 

 ma: "\'ou sail to Hawaii and make observations of the land, of the people, and the 

 government thereof." Upon finishing speaking, Kauhiakama set sail with his canoes 

 and disembarked at Kawaihae. 



Prior to the landing, Kauhiakama voyaged and had touched at Puako, at Kapa- 

 laoa, Kaniku, Kiholo, Mahaiula, Kailua, Holualoa, Kahaluu, Keauhou and Kaawaloa. 

 At Kaawaloa, the route of travel was lost," because the slanting clift" and the crags bar- 

 red them in the front. Wherefore, Kauhiakama had retraced his course and arrived at 

 Kawaihae. 



In this voyaging of Kauhiakama, it had occupied but a short period; and on ac-
