50. Tlie leaves vibrated toward the plain of 

 Puea. 



The smoke rises pyramidal in the field, 



Twisting around down at Kawiliwili. 



Passed is the salt plain. 



The salt plain of ]\Iahinauli ; 

 55. Kahana and Olokele was already passed 



Except the upland of 1 likilei.

Descend O Peapeanui, liyhtniny eater !

Through whom the field was desolated. 



A bird is watching in the uplands.

 Koolau,

Looking and watching the mid-lands.

The kuna-'' lives in the water.

 ended

h'lir what was this rope being borne? 



A drag-rope for Kahiki, at Aukele, 



For the soldier-companion of the chief, 

 of Kahiki.
