220. The young' man fights liravely, Loeau the 



son of Keoua. 

 He sharpens his spurs, he picks up some- 

 thing : 

 He scratches in the ground of this Ililo. 

 On the sand of W'aiolama. 

 He plants the soldier's standard, the dust 



is raised on high as in a whirlwind ; 

 225. Quickly flows the perspiration on the brow 



of Laniulimahiia : 

 That he might secure the battleground of 



Mokuohai, robbed at Keei ; 

 That he might collect the property staked, 



at the sand beach in Hauiki. 

 There was a chief, this was a chief ; the 



stake was the island. 

 There [at Keei] the property was staked, 



the game was played to utter loss. 

 230. He strikes the goal, he counts double, he 



quickly counts what he has gained. 

 'Tis he who staked the land, he claps his ■ 



hands, he is the chief who staked 



the island. 

 That chief was Kauikeaouli, this chief was 



Kalaninuilanimehameha, 

 He is the per.son who caused the flght. 

 Did he flee secretly, did he vanish in 



darkness ? 

 235. Did he gain a secret hiding place? No,
