to make the sleds slide easily and swiftly. The first to race were Pahuku 

 and Pohaha. The sled of Pahuku tipped, and he was thrown of?, so Po- 

 haha reached the goal first, and won the race. The next race was between 

 two women, who were noted for their skill, Kapa'i, and Mukea. Kapa'i 

 won this race, and Mukea joined in cheerinsj her opponent. Next came 

 a race between Mohihi, the queen, and Manu, a chief. Mohihi won, by 

 only half a length, and Manu joined in the applause. The king and all 

 the chiefs were very much pleased that the queen had won the race. It 

 was a great thing for her to beat Manu, for he was supposed to be the 

 champion of all the Menehune people. That was the last of the races. 



Then the father of Manu came to the king, and suggested that they 

 make a big pile of stones at this spot, as a monument. Then all the 

 Menehunes clapped their hands, and agreed to do so. There was great 

 rejoicing among them, and so they built up a huge pile of stones, which 

 they finished just at daybreak. Then the Menehune left that place, and 

 traveled on their way. 



THE STORY OF OLA 



As we have already been told, the king of the Ke-na-mu on Kauai-a- 

 mano-ka-lani-po, was K u a 1 u-n u i-p a u k u-moku-moku, Big-Kualu-of-the- 

 P)roken-Rope. While he was living in Waimea, he met and fell in love with 

 a beautiful princess, Kuhapuola, who had come from Peapea, above Hana- 

 pepe, on the Waimea side. At length, after having spent many happy days 

 with her, the king decided to return to his kingly duties at Kekaha. He 

 called the lovely girl to his side, and gave her his fiuilo and lei palaoa, a 

 necklace of many braided strands of human hair, fastened by a hooked 

 ivory ornament. This could be worn only by high chiefs, and was one of 

 the signs of royalty. He told her that if a boy were born to her, she 

 should name him after the king's family, but if a girl were born, she might 

 select the name herself. 



.Vfter a time the princess gave birth to a boy, whom she called Kualu- 

 inii, as she had been told. As the child grew older he became very mis- 

 chievous and head-strong. He refused to regard the hapu of the kahuna 

 and was always in trouble. 



.^t one time the people had gathered to make a kahc or fish-trap in the 

 Makaweli River to catch the fish which the freshet would carry down. 



An order was issued that no one was to touch the kahe until the 

 kahuna had removed the kapu. But the boy disregarded this order and ate 

 of the fish that had been caught. In great anger the kahuna caught him, 

 and took him to Kekaha where he was tried the following day before 

 the king.
