BECKWITH] APPENDIX 653 
But his wife brings word that the chiefs of Hawaii, enraged by 
his insult to her person, have rebelled against him, only the district 
of Kau remaining faithful. In a series of battles at Puuanahulu, 
called Kaheawai; at Kaunooa; at Puupea; at Puukohola, called 
Kawaluna because undertaken at night and achieved by the strategy 
of lighting torches to make the appearance of numbers; at Kahua, 
called Kaiopae; at Halelua, called Kaiopihi from a warrior slain in 
the battle; finally at Puumaneo, his success is complete, and Hawaii 
becomes his. 
Lonoikamakahike sails to Maui with his younger brother and 
chief counsellor, Pupuakea, to visit King Kamalalawalu, whose 
younger brother is Makakuikalani. In the contest of wit, Lonoi- 
kamakahike is successful. The king of Maui wishes to make war on 
Hawaii and sends his son to spy out the land, who gains false intel- 
ligence. At the same time Lonoikamakahike sends to the king two 
chiefs who pretend disaffection and egg him on to ruin. In spite of 
Lanikaula’s prophecy of disaster, Kamalalawalu sails to Hawaii 
with a fleet that reaches from Hamoa, Hana, to Puakea, Kohala; he 
and his brother are killed at Puuoaoaka, and their bodies offered in 
sacrifice. 
Lonoikamakahike, desiring to view “the trunkless tree Kahihi- 
kolo,” puts his kingdom in charge of his wife and sails for Kauai. 
Such are the hardships of the journey that his followers desert him, 
only one stranger, Kapaihiahilani, accompanying him and serving 
him in his wanderings. This man therefore on his return is made 
chief counsellor and favorite. But he becomes the queen’s lover, and 
after an absence on Kauai, finds himself disgraced at court. Stand- 
ing without the king’s door, he chants a song recalling their wander- 
ings together; the king relents, the informers are put to death, and 
he remains the first man in the kingdom until his death. Nor are 
there any further wars on Hawaii until the days of Keoua. 
15. IKEAWEIKEKAHIALIT 
This chief, born in Kailua, Kona, has a faithful servant, Mao, who 
studies how his master may usurp the chiefship of Hawaii. One day 
while Keaweikekahialii plays at checkers with King Keliiokaloa, Mao 
approaches, and while speaking apparently about the moves of the 
game, conveys to him the intelligence that now is the time to strike. 
Mao kills the king by a blow on the neck, and they further slay all 
the 800 chiefs of Hawaii save Kalapanakuioiomoa, whose daughter 
Keaweikekahialii marries, thus handing down the high chief blood 
of Hawaii to this day. 
1 Mr. Stokes found on the rocks at Kahaluu, near the heiaw of Keeku, a petroglyph 
which the natives point to as the beheaded figure of Kamalalawalu.
