Fallen is flic Chief.

Akea remained unknown in ancient times, 



now appears upon the rostrum. 

 Appears the wonder of the island. 

 The image gods now stand full in their 



places ; 

 In the house built for the gods, there the 



people hear the worship. 

 165. 'Tis ours to listen to the sounds we now 



hear, 

 A sound of island flight perhaps. 

 Not indeed long ago the island people fled 

 At the setting of the sun ; Hilo fled in the 



evening, 

 Puna fled in the morning, at the sun's 



high noon Kau fled. 

 170. All done quickly in a single day. 



Quickly were they subdued by strength, 



dizzy the island rolled over and 



over ; 

 Hawaii was tamed by the chief and his 



warriors ; 

 They consult respecting the koali blossom, 



a balm for the eyeball of the island, 

 That the obscurity of the eye might cease. 

 175. The white matter flows out from the eye. 

 The wild gushing tears cease to fall. 

 The island also was untamed, that the 



chief well knew. 

 On his becoming guardian it was more 



and more tamed.

"Ikea hipahipa, wonder, strange thing, there has appeared the wonder of the island in the overthrow, the new 

 state of things.

'"Kaele, quickly, the districts were quickly conquered by slrengtli, i. e., the invincible power of Kamehameha ; 

 poniuiiiu, dizzy. 



"Laka Hawaii, the island conquered by the chief and warriors became tame and lived quietly. 



"Wa iho la, Kamehameha's people converse over what they have gained, liked the butterflies around the flowers 

 of the koali (convolvulus) ; ninia, a medicine; the capture of the island was the medicine that gave comfort to the 

 eyeball (center) of the island, i. e., all the island. Kamehameha poured on the oil and the island was comforted. 



"I pau ka pohihi, pohihi applies to the condition of the people, their vision was obscured in regard to their 

 civil rights. 



"Kahe ai ka walekea, itw/r, soft matter, matter th.at issues from a sore, kca. white, the white matter flows

 well known to the chief, Kanieh;nnelia. 



"I kona kahu, Kamehamelia becoming kaliu, guarilian, that was what tamed it, the island.
