■ Kalaikupule and his warriors were encanii:)ed above at Waolani," and it was 

 only his chief warrior, Pihana, that was batthng- with Kalaimoku. Kalaimoku and the 

 Hawaii soldiers were distinguished by being surrounded by a fine-meshed net, which 

 was the outside enclosure for the men; if a man was on the outside, then he was an 

 Oahuan; if within the net enclosure, he was a Hawaii man. On account of this ac- 

 tion. Pihana and his nine men stood up and fought Kalaimoku, in which engagement 

 Pihana and his men were not defeated. 



Therefore Kalaimoku asked Pihana to cease his resisting and to cede Oahvi 

 to Kamehameha. Pihana replied:' "I will not give you the land until I have bathed"' 

 myself in Hawaii's medicine (weapons). In three days I shall leave the land in your 

 hands." Then Pihana stood alone before the soldiers from Hawaii. They cast their 

 spears and lances and javelins, and threw stones at him, but Pihana simply dodged 

 them. 



Thus he stood until tired when he laid down, face downward, and then on his 

 back. He then stooped and exhibited his posterior in vulgar defiance, and in all that 

 time the men from Hawaii were casting their spears and javelins at him without hit- 

 ting him. The men from Hawaii, looking at him found no one among many equal 

 to him in agility and daring. 



After two days had passed Pihana joined his forces, which was the time of the 

 great battle. He tore the surrounding net and stood at the opening. No spear nor 

 lance were hurled, the dread of Pihana being so great. On the third day Pihana 

 again came forward to fight with the warriors from Hawaii. He went up to Kalai- 

 moku and ceded the land to him. Therefore Kalaikupule was vanquished. 



SEVENTH BATTLE BY KAMEHAMEHA. 



After Kamehameha had fought Kalaikui)ule on Oahu, Namakaeha, a chief who 

 was residing at Hilo, raised a rebellion there, and made preparations to war upon 

 Kamehameha. At that time Kamehameha was on Oahu, and he immediately returned 

 to Hawaii,^" to fight Namakaeha. In the battle which ensued Namakaeha was slain 

 by Kamehameha at Kaipalaoa, in Hilo. This was the last battle by Kamehameha 

 when he assumed the administration of his whole kingdom from Hawaii to Niihau, in 

 which he reigned peacefully to the day of his death. On the consolidation of these 

 Islands from Hawaii to Niihau under one great ruler, Kamehameha, with all the 

 chiefs under him, he established his policv and wisdom over all his kingdom with 

 ui^rightness.
