that famous law, the
“mamalahoa,” 15 was derived,
which prevailed until the days of
Kamehameha III, the
interpretation [470]of which being
that old men and old women
might lie down in the road
without being ruthlessly killed, 16
or robbed of their belongings.
By a tremendous effort
Kamehameha extricated his foot
and chased after the men. There
was a large clump of ohia trees
in his way which could not be
encircled by less than three men.
This obstructed Kamehameha
from chasing after the men, but
he reached around one side of
the clump of ohias till he caught
one of the men, whose body he
bent over towards the clump of
ohias, and thus killed him. When
the other men saw this they were
fearfully alarmed and ran away.
On another occasion,
Kamehameha displayed his
great strength when he and his
own personal attendant, Hema,
alone went into a fight with

Kekualele, and at Kealakaha, in
Hamakua. There was a deep
ravine, and very narrow at the
bottom. Kamehameha and
Hema went down till they
reached this limited space, when
they met Keoua’s warriors. Forty
of them with their spears and
javelins jumped on
Kamehameha, but they were as
nothing to him. He stretched out
his hands, caught the warriors,
and broke them in two, one after
another, all of the time moving
onward. Thus Kamehameha
slaughtered the soldiers until
there remained only ten, when
he became exhausted. He then
told his servant, “Say, help me
out.” Hema 17 immediately
jumped into the fray, killing the
remaining ten; and on that day
he became a chief of
Kamehameha, being released
from his position of attendant.

KAUA AKOLU.—
 KEPANIWAI.
This is the third of
Kamehameha’s battles during
his reign, and was fought out at
Maui, in the Valley of Iao, at
Wailuku. 18 It was one of the most
renowned of Kamehameha’s
battles, on account of the great
number of canoes, of the people,
and of the damming of the
waters of Iao. This trip of the
canoes from Hawaii was called
the Great Fleet, which was the
first trip of Kamehameha’s large
peleleu (canoes) to Maui. It is
said that the canoes which came
in this single trip were so
numerous that they covered the
whole landing place from
Keoneoio to Olowalu without a
space intervening.
In the battle at Iao, Kalaikupule 19
was defeated by Kamehameha,
the former fleeing in a canoe and
going to Oahu. In this battle the
slaughter of the people of Maui
was so great that the stream and
valley of Iao was dammed that
the water receded upward and
did not flow downward as it does
KEPANIWAI.
O keia ke kolu o na kaua a

now. On account of the great
number of people slain and the
great number of deaths of
people rolling down the
precipice, that battle was known
under three famous appellations.
They are: Kepaniwai, 20
Kauwaupali, 21 and Iao. In this
war Maui became a possession
of Kamehameha to this day of
writing, and no one has ever
denounced the powerful arm of
Kamehameha to this day. [472]
THE FOURTH BATTLE,
AT KOAPAPAA.
This battle was a secret invasion
by Keoua. When Kamehameha
had gone to Maui and then to
Molokai, at Kaunakahakai, a
messenger arrived from Hawaii,
apprising him of Keoua’s cruelty
to his (Kamehameha’s) subjects,
by robbing them of their property,
by the wantonly killing of men,

KAUA AHA A
KAMEHAMEHA,
KOAPAPAA.
O keia kaua ana, he kaua poa

Kamehameha i Maui, a Molokai,

women and children, the cutting
of taro from the fields with
overbearing arrogance, and all
other malicious acts. Women
who were with child were
trampled under foot, pierced with
small bambus and with sticks
and stones.
When Kamehameha heard of
these acts of Keoua, his love for
the people of his three
possessions, Kona, Kohala and
Hamakua, was manifested, as
they were cruelly slaughtered by
Keoua. Kamehameha then
abandoned his idea of going to
Oahu.
He went back to Hawaii and
fought Keoua in Hamakua,
where Keoua was defeated 22
and escaped to Kau, and
afterwards died at Kawaihae, in
Kohala. That battle was called
Koapapaa. 23 Here is the
explanation of the name: the
warriors of Keoua were reduced
by death, and were as nothing
before Kamehameha and his
warriors, and were left on the
ground as a lot of logs piled up in
an umu (underground oven), and

very much scorched by the heat
of the fire.
The death of Keoua by which
Kau became a possession of
Kamehameha, happened in this
way: When the temple (heiau) at
Puukohola, 24 in Kawaihae was
built, Keoua was sent for in
Kau, 25 with deceitful words thus:
“O Keoua, your cousin,
Kamehameha, has requested
that you come and make friends,
and live together in harmony,
and to cast aside all strife.” On
these cunning and deceitful
words, Keoua came with his
double canoes and landed at
Kawaihae. 26 Before his arrival
the umu had been prepared and
was red hot. Keoua was then
roasted. 27 And thus Keoua was
killed by Kamehameha, who
came into possession of Kau,
making four divisions of land in
Hawaii, in his possession,
namely, Kau, Kona, Kohala and
Hamakua.
O ko Keoua make ana a lilo ai o

 THE FIFTH BATTLE,
CALLED KE-PU-WAHA-
ULAULA. 28
This was Kamehameha’s fifth
battle which he fought against
the rebel chiefs 29 Kahekili and
Kaeo. The latter came from
Kauai to Oahu and met Kahekili,
both going to Hawaii, and at
Kohala fought Kamehameha.
They were defeated. In this
[474]vanquishment, the people of
Kauai, and of Oahu and of Maui
were slaughtered by
Kamehameha and his warriors,
so that the corpses of the people
floated on the sea outside of
Kohala, and looked red; hence
the appellation Kepuwahaulaula.
The head and the skin of the
corpses were as red as the gun.
THE SIXTH BATTLE,
CALLED
KAUA ALIMA, OIA O KE-
PU-WAHAULAULA.
O ka lima keia o ko

KAUA AONO, O

 KAIEIEWAHO. 30
When Kamehameha heard that
Kahekili had died in Oahu, and
that the government of Oahu
was under the control of
Kalaikupule, his son, he set sail
and arrived at Oahu, where he
fought Kalaikupule at the famous
pali of Nuuanu. Kalaikupule was
defeated by Kamehameha. In
this battle the people of Oahu
were massacred at the cliffs of
Nuuanu. The people stepped
upon each other, and the people
that day were in heaps at the
bottom of the cliffs of Nuuanu.
And by this battle the whole
group of islands, including Maui,
Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe and
Kauai, 31 was conquered by
Kamehameha.

Pihana was a very celebrated

NO PIHANA.
Oia kekahi alii koa kaulana loa
warrior chief of Oahu, in the days
of Kalaikupule, the great chief of
Oahu. He (Pihana) was noted for
his bravery and skill; the use of
the spear, the lance, the javelin,
were as a bath to him; his joys
and pleasures; he could fight
other people and many of them
with the help of but a few
soldiers.
THE SIXTH BATTLE. 32
This was the battle between
Kamehameha and Kalaikupule
at Nuuanu. Kalaimoku was
Kamehameha’s chief warrior,
from Hawaii, and Pihana was
Kalaikupule’s chief warrior.
When Kamehameha with his
many soldiers came over from
Hawaii in his canoes, the first of
the canoe fleet in charge of
Kalaimoku, Kamehameha’s chief
warrior, landed at Kapua. 33 Just
as Kalaimoku was about to
Oahu nei, i na la o Kalaikupule

oia o Kalaimoku ka pukaua nui o

disembark, Pihana, with his nine
soldiers, came and stood at the
landing place of Kapua. The fight
then commenced. The men from
Hawaii under Kalaimoku, at that
time, were eight times forty in
number. 34 All of them threw their
spears and lances at Pihana and
his nine soldiers, but none were
hit nor were any killed. After they
had fought for some time, they
moved to Waikiki where the
fighting was renewed. Here the
Hawaii men tried to mob Pihana,
but were unsuccessful. The
fighting kept moving thence to
Kulaokahua, then to Puowaina, 35
behind which a man of the Oahu
warriors was secretly shot by a
foreigner’s gun. From that place
they moved on to Pauoa, and
passing this place came to
Kaheiki, a place adjacent to
Maemae. 36 Here the Hawaii
forces came to a stand. [476]
Kalaikupule and his warriors
were encamped above at
Waolani 37, and it was only his
chief warrior, Pihana, that was
battling with Kalaimoku.
Kalaimoku and the Hawaii
soldiers were distinguished by

being surrounded by a fine-
meshed net, which was the
outside enclosure for the men; if
a man was on the outside, then
he was an Oahuan; if within the
net enclosure, he was a Hawaii
man. On account of this action,
Pihana and his nine men stood
up and fought Kalaimoku, in
which engagement Pihana and
his men were not defeated.
Therefore Kalaimoku asked
Pihana to cease his resisting and
to cede Oahu to Kamehameha.
Pihana replied: “I will not give
you the land until I have bathed 38
myself in Hawaii’s medicine
(weapons). In three days I shall
leave the land in your hands.”
Then Pihana stood alone before
the soldiers from Hawaii. They
cast their spears and lances and
javelins, and threw stones at
him, but Pihana simply dodged
them.
Thus he stood until tired when
he laid down, face downward,
and then on his back. He then
stooped and exhibited his
posterior in vulgar defiance, and
in all that time the men from
okoa ia, ua paa o waho i ka

Hawaii were casting their spears
and javelins at him without hitting
him. The men from Hawaii,
looking at him found no one
among many equal to him in
agility and daring.
After two days had passed
Pihana joined his forces, which
was the time of the great battle.
He tore the surrounding net and
stood at the opening. No spear
nor lance was hurled, the dread
of Pihana being so great. On the
third day Pihana again came
forward to fight with the warriors
from Hawaii. He went up to
Kalaimoku and ceded the land to
him. Therefore Kalaikupule was
vanquished.

KAUA AHIKU A
KAMEHAMEHA.
After Kamehameha had fought
Kalaikupule on Oahu,
Namakaeha, a chief who was
residing at Hilo, raised a
rebellion there, and made
preparations to war upon
Kamehameha. At that time
Kamehameha was on Oahu, and
he immediately returned to
Hawaii 39, to fight Namakaeha. In
the battle which ensued
Namakaeha was slain by
Kamehameha at Kaipalaoa, in
Hilo. This was the last battle by
Kamehameha when he assumed
the administration of his whole
kingdom from Hawaii to Niihau,
in which he reigned peacefully to
the day of his death. On the
consolidation of these Islands
from Hawaii to Niihau under one
great ruler, Kamehameha, with
all the chiefs under him, he
established his policy and
wisdom over all his kingdom with
uprightness.

KO KAMEHAMEHA
 OF KAMEHAMEHA.
Kamehameha was a very wise
king, and was honest, kind,
charitable and humane. This is
how he arranged the work of his
kingdom: Kamehameha was the
great ruler over all. There were
four chief executives under him:
these were Keeaumoku,
[478]Keaweaheulu, Kameeiamoku
and Kamanawa. 40 There were
also advisors and counselors in
the affairs of the kingdom. There
were four of them: Kai,
Kapalaoa, Kaaloa and
Kauakahiakaola. With these
people Kamehameha carried out
all of his works, and through
them important laws were made,
which carried great influence
upon the people, such as the
Mamalahoa 41 and the
Maumae, 42 “that the old and the
infirm might lie down in the road
and not be molested.”
Here are also the names of
certain men whom Kamehameha
brought together to be with him;
men who were skillful in all

and the men of his court,
cultivated the land and the result
of which was that most noted
field of Kuahewa, in upper
Kailua, North Kona, Hawaii. It
was most noted for its great size
and length. It comprised eight
divisions of land, about seven
miles.
The most valuable commodity
during Kamehameha’s reign was
the iliahi, 43 a very fragrant wood
and very valuable, which
flourished in the mountains, and
in places thickly covered with
vegetation. The feathers of the
birds, of the oo and other birds,
were made into feather cloaks
for the chiefs and the warriors.
The extent of Kamehameha’s
reign was seven 44 years, and he
died at the commencement of
the eighth, in the year of the
Lord, 1819. 45 He died at Kailua,
in Kona, Hawaii, and it was there
that Liholiho 46 was set apart as
heir to his (Kamehameha’s)
kingdom.

 OF THE CHIEF
KEKUAOKALANI, AND
HIS INSURGENCY.
The cause for this insurgency of
Kekuaokalani 47 was on account
of the raising of the restrictions,
and Liholiho allowing the same
to be done; this angered
Kekuaokalani, who threatened to
make war and destroy the
reformers. Here is the meaning
[480]of Aikapu: 48 The husband ate
by himself, had a separate
house, a separate oven, and so
forth; so did the wife. They were
separated in their social life.
Ainoa 49 means: The husband
and his wife eat together, dwelt
in the same house, and so forth.
When Kamehameha died the
kingdom fell to Liholiho.
Kekuaokalani did not want
Liholiho to remove the
restrictions of the kingdom; he
was in favor of aikapu, therefore
he opposed Liholiho, but
Kaahumanu 50 and the chiefs

O ke kumu o keia kipi ana o

refused to continue the
restrictions. The cause of this
reformation was the death of
Kamehameha. All the people
went into mourning, and it was
during that time that the husband
and wife ate together, eating all
foods that were restricted, and
thus ainoa spread down to the
battle at Kuamoo with
Kekuaokalani.
When Kekuaokalani heard that
Liholiho and all the chiefs had
acceded to the ainoa, he went
and resided at Kaawaloa with his
wife, Manono. He then prepared
to rebel and to fight against the
ainoa people. Then two chiefs,
Naihe and Hoapili, set sail from
Kailua to Kaawaloa. They said to
Kekuaokalani: “We have come to
bring you back to your nephew
and reside at Kailua, and it shall
be as you desire whether the
restrictions be continued or
raised. But that shall be as you
desire.” Kekuaokalani then said:
“You two tarry here until Manono
hears about it. Tomorrow I will
tell you.”
They rested there, and in the
kumu o ka ainoa ana, o ka make
ana o Kamehameha, nolaila,
kumakena na mea a pau loa, a i
loko oia wa, ai pu ke kane me ka
wahine, ai i na mea kapu a pau
loa, a nolaila, ua laha mai ia noa
ana a hiki i ke kaua ma Kuamoo,
me Kekuaokalani.
A lohe o Kekuaokalani ua ainoa
o Liholiho a me na ’lii a pau loa,
holo aku la ia a noho ma
Kawaaloa, me kana wahine o
Manono. A hoomakaukau ihola
ia e kipi, a kaua me ka poe e
ainoa ana, alaila, holo aku la
kekahi mau alii mai Kailua aku a

Hoapili. I aku laua ia
Kekuaokalani: “I kii mai nei
maua ia oe, e hoi me ko keiki i
Kailua e noho ai, a aia no hoi i
kou manao, e ainoa paha, e
aikapu paha, aka, aia no i kou
manao.” I aku o Kekuaokalani:
“Pela iho olua, a lohe o Manono,
apopo hai aku au ia olua.”
Moe ihola lakou a ao aela, hele
morning Kekuaokalani came to
the presence of Hoapili and
Naihe. They then asked, “Are we
going?” Kekuaokalani said “Yes,”
but his assent was not real. He
was bent on war. Wherefore
Naihe and Hoapili said: “The
navel is cut then, companion.”
After this Naihe and Hoapili
returned and arrived at Kailua,
and told Kalaimoku to prepare
for war. Nine war canoes were
made ready. Kalaimoku marched
overland, and when he came to
Lekeleke, the battle commenced
with Kekuaokalani’s scouts. In
this battle Kalaimoku was
defeated and a number of his
men were killed. They again met
at Kuamoo, where they fought
from morning till evening when
Kekuaokalani was killed. He was
hit in the leg by a bullet, the
effects of which rendering him
very weak. His wife Manono
remained safe.
Manono was a very beautiful
woman and her face very fair to
look upon. She called to
Kalaimoku and the men thus: “O
maila o Kekuaokalani a ma ke
alo o Hoapili a me Naihe, olelo
aku laua: “O ka holo keia o
kakou?” ae aku o Kekuaokalani,
“Ae.” Aka, aole ona ae io, he
manao kaua kona. Noia mea,
olelo aku o Naihe me Hoapili:
“Wehe i ka piko la e na
hoahanau.”
Mahope olaila, hoi maila o
Hoapili me Naihe, a hiki ma
Kailua olelo akula ia Kalaimoku:
“E hoomakaukau no ke kaua, a
makaukau na waa eiwa, hele
maila mauka.” A hiki o
Kalaimoku ma Lekeleke,
hoomaka ke kaua na kiu o
Kekuaokalani, ma keia kaua
ana, hee o Kalaimoku a make
kekahi mau kanaka ona. A
mahope, halawai me
Kekuaokalani ma Kuamoo.
Malaila lakou i kaua ai, mai ke
kakahiaka a ahiahi, make o
Kekuaokalani, ku kona wawae i
ka poka a nawaliwali loa; koe
kana wahine o Manono.
He wahine maikai loa o Manono,
a he nani kona helehelena ke
nana aku, oia kai hea mai ia
Kalaimoku a me na koa, penei:
spare us two! There is no safety
before the mouth of a gun.”
Kalaimoku then said: “You shall
not live, because the chief has
been killed.” Therefore she was
shot and died soon after.
After the death of Kekuaokalani
and his wife Manono at Kuamoo,
Kalaimoku returned with the
warriors to Kailua. They held a
consultation and decided to
make war upon that other
insurgent, Kainapau, a
commoner, residing at Waipio, in
Hamakua. Kalaimoku and his
men then set sail and arrived at
Kawaihae. From here they
marched up to Waimea, arriving
at a place called Pahupahua,
near Mahiki, where the fighting
occurred. In the melee the rebels
were annihilated and Kainapau
overthrown. He fled to the
uttermost backwoods of Waipio,
hiding there, and [482]while so
doing, was found by the
searchers. Kainapau was killed
on the spot, and his intestines
strung out to dry in the sun. That
is the dreadful end of the evil-
minded, the rebellious and the
wrong-doer, a horrible death.
Kahea mai o Manono, “E ola
maua e! Aole e ola i ka waha o
ka pu.” I aku o Kalaimoku: “Aole
oe e ola, no ka mea, ua make ke
’lii,” nolaila, ki ia aku la i ka pu, a
make ihola.
A make o Kekuaokalani ma
