392 HAWAIIAN ROMANCE OF LAIEIKAWAI [ETH. ANN. 33 
When Aiwohikupua was on the field he said to Haunaka, “ You 
can never hurt the Kauai boy; he is a choice branch of the tree that 
stands upon the steep.” ** 
As Aiwohikupua was speaking a man called out from outside the 
crowd, who had seen Aiwohikupua fighting with Cold-nose, “O 
Haunaka and all of you gathered here, you will never outdo this 
man; his fist is ike a spear! Only one blow at Cold-nose and the 
fist went through to his back. This is the very man who killed 
Cold-nose.” 
* Then Haunaka seized Aiwohikupua’s hand and welcomed him, and 
the end of it was they made friends and the players mixed with the 
crowd, and they left the place; Aiwohikupua’s party went with 
their friends and boarded the canoes, and went on and landed at 
Laupahoehoe.
