Cliaiif for Kaiiichaiiiclia.

Kaniaile belongs not to the place where the 



fire is projected. 

 70. Here are some light firebran<ls from the 



factories ; 

 The factories where the firebrands are 



prepared. 

 The fire shoots forth oscillating upwards 



as a shooting star 

 And falls on the precipice of Kaauhau. 

 Shall I return at the call ; 

 75. At the call of Makua to Kalalau? 

 Here is your compani(.)n, a stranger. 

 The fire has been kindled on the skin, 

 The kapued skin by consecration 

 Which will be overcome by the biting 



firebrand. 

 80. For the firebrand has a fire that burns the 



skin. 

 Indeed the greater part of the skin was 



broken 

 r>v being bitten by the fire of the firebrand. 

 Let the descendant warrior live as a soldier 



of Waiolono, 

 Offering temple services night and day. 

 85. Conquering all that none may dispute. 

 I am fondly remembered by Kekaha, 

 I shall breathe at Kilohana the fog that 



riseth 

 Like the head of this man. 

 I am thinking and hoping. 

 90. Kaula lies yonder ; what is about to be 



done there ? 

 The water-gourd is his earnest call : give 



me water ! 

 The zigzag course is the path.
