vanc|iiishment, the people of Kauai, and of Oahu and of Maui were slaughtered by 

 Kamehameha and his warriors, so that the corpses of the people floated on the sea 

 outside of Kohala, and looked red; hence the appellation Kepuwahaulaula. The head 

 and the skin of the corpses were as red as the gun. 



THE SIXTH BATTLE, CALLED KAIEIEWAHO.'"' 



When Kamehameha heard that Kahekili had died in Oahu, and that the gov- 

 ernment of Oahu was under the control of Kalaikupule, his son, he set sail and ar- 

 rived at Oahu, where he fought Kalaikupule at the famous pali of Nuuanu. Kalai- 

 kupule was defeated by Kamehameha. In this battle the people of Oahu were mas- 

 sacred at the clifi^s of Nuuanu. The people stepped upon each other, and the people 

 that day were in heaps at the bottom of the cliffs of Nuuanu. And by this battle the 

 whole group of islands, including Maui, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe and Kauai,'' was 

 concjuered by Kamehameha. 



PIHANA. 



Pihana was a very celebrated warrior chief of Oahu. in the days of Kalaiku- 

 pule, the great chief of Oahu. He (Pihana) was noted for his bravery and skill; the 

 use of the spear, the lance, the javelin, were as a bath to him ; his joys and pleasures ; 

 he could fight other people and many of them with the help of but a few soldiers. 



THE SIXTH BATTLE.'^ 



This was the battle between Kamehameha and Kalaikupule at Nuuanu. Ka- 

 laimoku was Kamehameha's chief warrior, from Hawaii, and Pihana was Kalaiku- 

 pule's chief warrior. 



When Kamehameha with his many soldiers came over from Hawaii in his ca- 

 noes, the first of the canoe fleet in charge of Kalaimoku, Kamehameha's chief warrior, 

 landed at Kapua.'" Just as Kalaimoku was about to disembark, Pihana, with his nine 

 soldiers, came and stood at the landing place of Kapua. The fight then commenced. 

 The men from Hawaii under Kalaimoku, at that time, were eight times forty in num- 

 ber.^* All of them threw their spears and lances at Pihana and his nine soldiers, but none 

 were hit nor were any killed. After they had fought for some time, they moved to Wai- 

 kiki where the fighting was renewed. Here the Hawaii men tried to mob Pihana, but 

 were unsuccessful. The fighting kept moving thence to Kulaokahua, then to I^uowaina,'''' 

 behind which a man of the Oahu warriors was secretly shot by a foreigner's gun. From 

 that place they moved on to Pauoa, and passing this place came to Kaheiki, a place adja- 

 cent to Maemae.'"' Here the Hawaii forces came to a stand.
