 near Molokai, and some flew over towards Maui. That was how Molokini was origi- 

 nated : it was a part of Haupu wet with the sea. 



This is all that was told me as to the origin of our subject.

PA'UPA'U. 



This is one of the famous hills of Lahaina of olden times, when our ancestors 

 lived in their pagan and ignorant ways. We know that at that time murders, adult- 

 ery, and doubtful pleasures were frequent. Listen therefore to what your friend has 

 collected. Let it not, howe\er, cause you to wonder, and vour eyes to stare. 



ORIGIN OF THE NAMIi I'A'uPA'u. 



This name originated from one of the descendants of Papa and Kumuhonua. 

 Kumuhonua took to wife Kauaohilo and begat Kaenaena ; Kaenaena took \\'aiukeke of 

 Kaliuwaa and begat Lihau. It was said that he excelled in comeliness anv other hand- 

 some man of that time, and from him descended men of this group who were good to 

 look upon. Lihau took to wife Kapulani and begat Ihiihi, the one whose name is — 

 Pa'upa'u.' Because the parents and servants [of Ihiihi | became wearied with con- 

 stant going down to Kahala to get water with which to bathe the child, the parents 

 complained and said: "There is too much labor connected with this work [he pa'u kcia 

 liana], and too little benefit. Therefore they named the i)lace" where their child 

 lived Pa'ui)a'u. 



TIIK FAMOUS THINGS ON THIS HILL. 



Right on top of this hill is a large heiau called the heiau of Kamohomoho, one 

 of the noted chiefs of the olden times. He was the first one to build a heiau for the 

 worship of a god called Moo. This lizard [god] excelled in strength; it had a stumped 

 tail ; that is the way the tails of the lizards of the present time appear, because of Moo, 

 the great and strong. 



Here is another thing: On the western side of this hill is buried the remains of" 

 a celebrated and wise man, David Malo.'' Here is one of his famous remarks: "If we 

 live together and I die, do not bur}' me down here at Lahaina; carry me to the top of 

 Pa'upa'u and bury me there, because the white man is a seeker of land." \Miat he 

 prophesied has come to ])ass. 



Here is another thing: On the eastern side of the hill is a place of refuge^ where 

 those fleeing from battle sought safety, also a hill where those who fled [from other 

 troubles] were assured protection, ^fhat was probably the place to where Kahekili 

 the great and his soldiers fled after his battles with Kamehameha, chief of Hawaii. In 

 the battle fought below Kauaula where Kamehameha was victorious, they [Kahekili
