Makoa was a very fast runner in
the days of Kamehameha I, and
was far-famed, having no equal.
Kamehameha was once
sojourning at the sea beach at
Kawaihae. From there to Hilo, at
Waiakea, is a very great
distance, interspersed with rough
road, gulches and deep ravines.
The distance is about eighty
miles, going and coming.
When Kamehameha was about
to eat his breakfast and the awa
was being chewed it was found
that there was no accompanying
dish for the drinking of the awa;
that was the time for Makoa to
run to Hilo to get mullet from the
pond of Waiakea, on the
boundary adjoining Puna. As
soon as he received the mullet
Makoa returned to
Kamehameha, arriving with the
fish still quivering, not dead.
Then Kamehameha drank his
awa down followed by eating the
mullet to remove the bitter taste
of the awa. The return of Makoa
was yet in the morning time, not
at noon. The distance to be
traveled at the present time
would take four days, going

quickly and back, without
baggage, but with some
difficulties, stiffness and
soreness.
OF KANEAKAEHU.
Kaneakaehu was one of the
fastest runners in the days of
Kamehameha. He could run
from Kailua, in North Kona, to
Waiakea, in Hilo, in a very short
time. The distance from Kailua to
Hilo is about one hundred miles,
going and coming, as there were
three divisions of land to be
traversed, namely, Kohala,
Hamakua and Hilo, and the
same on the return. Only three
divisions, but they abounded in
rocks, and very rough. The road
was very crooked and the
precipices very steep and
craggy.
It was habitual with
Kamehameha that when it was
KANEAKAEHU.

time to have his meal, the fish,
pond-mullet, was to be sent for
in Waiakea, Hilo, either in the
morning or in the evening; and
when the meal was ready and
the awa chewed, then
Kaneakaehu started to get the
fish. And when he got them, he
returned and placed the fish, still
alive and quivering, on
Kamehameha’s plate, which fish
Kamehameha ate. That was the
speed of Kaneakaehu mentioned
in this writing as witnessed by
people of old and known to the
young people of today.
OF KELIIMALOLO.
Keliimalolo was one of the
fastest runners of Maui, when
Kahekili was king. Hana, in Maui,
was the birthplace of Keliimalolo.
One day he and his companions
left Hana, sailing for and arriving
at Kapakai, in Kohala, Hawaii.
On arriving at Kapakai,

Keliimalolo left without helping to
draw the canoes up. He went
along the beach and arrived at
Kawaihae, Puako and Kaniku,
successively. Thence 4 on to
Kiholo, [492]Mahaiula,
Kaelehuluhulu, Kailua, Holualoa,
Kahaluu, Keauhou, and
Kaawaloa. At this place he lost
the road (because it was
covered by the sea, a fording
place until this day). Keliimalolo
left two joints of sugar-cane
there, and returned. 5
On arriving at Kapakai, in
Kohala, where their canoes were
beached, their baggage was not
yet taken to their friends’ house,
and the canoes were not
covered; his companions had not
even washed the sea-salt of the
voyage.
His companions then inquired:
“Where have you been,
Keliimalolo?” Keliimalolo replied:
“I went along that direction to a
sandy landing away inland, with
water near by; there was a
temple (heiau) on a hill. From
thence to a coconut grove at an
Keliimalolo i ka waa aole i hapai,

“Maanei aku nei au, a ke awa

open place, where a salt works’
implements were piled up.”
While Keliimalolo was relating
his tale, the folks declared: “You
are a lying man. The sandy
landing is Kawaihae, to which
belongs the temple on the hill of
Puukohola. Mailekini was the
name of the heiau. How could
you get there? You have just
gone and returned this early
morning; how could you get
there and return? It takes two
days to go over, and on the
fourth day arrive here again.”
“When I passed the coconut
grove, I continued past several
alkali plains, and then came to
the black volcanic rocks; from
there to a sandy stretch with a
pond on the upper side. When I
passed this I continued on on the
volcanic rocks until I came to
where kou trees were growing,
and a patch of dry sand; from
there to a sharp-pointed cape;
and I went till I came to where
the kou and the coconut were
growing. Further on I came to a
very large coconut grove, and
when I passed this I came upon

a bay running far inland. Then
the road was lost. There I left my
two joints of sugar-cane, and
returned and have just arrived.”
By this narration the folks of
Kapakai acknowledged its truth,
as the places named were
correct, the alkali plains being
Kalahuipuaa; the rocky land,
Kaniku; the sandy stretch and
pond were Kiholo; the kou was
Mahaiula; the dry sandy patch
was Kaelehuluhulu; the long
cape, Keahole; Kailua, the kou
and coconut; Kahaluu, the
coconut grove, and Kaawaloa
the bay.
The course of Keliimalolo the
folks acknowledged to be true,
but his reaching these places
was a wonder to them, and they
doubted that he did so on
account of the shortness of time
taken to travel it. Therefore they
disputed, and the dispute being
at intense heat, they made a
wager. And when the stakes
were up, inquirers went to the
places that Keliimalolo had gone
over, and when they came to
Kawaihae, the people of the

had seen the runner going along
the beach in the early morning.
Thus they went questioning
along all the sea beaches until
they came to Kaawaloa. There
they found the two joints of
sugar-cane that Keliimalolo had
left. Then they found that all the
words of Keliimalolo were true,
and that they all had lost their
wagers to him.
The distance traveled in going
and coming, was about ninety
miles. It is a very bad place to
this day; full of rocks; tortuous up
and down; zigzagging in and out,
up and down; a very long cape in
some places, a hot burning sun
in another place. And if people
were traveling in their natural
speed without baggage, it would
take [494]about one week to go
and return. But to Keliimalolo, it
was only the time of a breakfast,
not a whole day, nor days. After
this Keliimalolo, with his wife and
his sisters dwelt up in Keolewa,
a place in Kohala adjoining the
hill of Puuhue.

While Keliimalolo was residing
there, he afterwards, together
with his wife and a sister went
down to Koaie to fish for hinalea.
They were about ready to go
home in the evening, but a
shower was coming windward
which frightened his wife and
sister. He therefore grabbed hold
of his sister in one hand and his
wife in the other, and ran with
great speed and entered their
dwelling house at Keolewa. Then
the rain fell. The distance from
the beach at Koaie to Keolewa
was five miles.
OF KAMOEAU.
Kamoeau was an adept at
guessing and at repartee; he
knew the character of a man by
Keolewa, aia no ia wahi ma
Kohala e pili la me ka puu o

Ia Keliimalolo e noho ana ilaila, a

his voice; a rooster by his
crowing in the day or night; a
woman by the ringing sound of
her kapa block; and the birds by
their singing.
If Kamoeau happened to be
going on the road and heard the
kapa block ringing, if the ringing
be sharp it denoted her to be an
unsightly woman; if the ringing
be hollow, she had some
personal defects; if a prolonged
ringing, she was comely.
Kamoeau never failed to
characterize this or that woman
by hearing alone, and not by
sight. If a rooster crowed he
could tell its color and shape
according to its voice. If a black
rooster, the voice was hollow
and of sudden termination; if
light-colored, the crowing was
strong at the beginning and
ended in broken accents; if dark
red, the crowing at first was
sharp and then became deep-
toned; and if the rooster be
mottled (auha), the voice would
be harsh at the start and ended
weakly.
Kamoeau could lie under water

from morning until noon, and
then emerge therefrom. It is
therefore a most extraordinary
thing to think of, and the power
and knowledge, the accuracy of
the guessing, if it were true, was
something supernatural, and
was only transmitted by the deity
to Kamoeau.
OF PAHIA.
Pahia was a resident of Hilo, and
was a righteous and very honest
man; was not fraudulent and
fickle; was not pompous nor
recreant as other people. While
residing in Hilo, or journeying to
Kohala, if Pahia was entertained
by a resident, or a friend, or a
pretended wife, or brothers or
parents, if the repast consisted
of roasted pig, or a chicken, or
turkey, or fish; or perhaps salt, or
taro leaves, or roasted kukui, 6 or
perhaps limu 7 and so forth, then
Pahia would return the same. If a

pig was roasted for his use,
Pahia would make a remark
thus: “Aia no io wahi a Pahia,”
which meant, a pig was roasted
for his use. Pahia would return
the compliment to his entertainer
when the latter came to his
place; and if young taro leaves 8
were given to Pahia to eat, Pahia
would give his entertainer the
same thing when the latter
visited him. And if roasted kukui
was given to Pahia, he would
likewise compliment with the
same ingredient, and in the
same way in all other things. [496]
OF KAWAAIKI.
Kawaaiki was noted for his
dexterity in cliff climbing. He
could climb the most abrupt
precipice. Kawaaiki was a
resident of Molokai, and the cliffs
that he climbed in Molokai were
those at Pelekunu. These cliffs
are very precipitous and very
paha, a pela aku, alaila, pela no

high, measuring about two
hundred fathoms from the base
to their crest. The top of the cliffs
careened outwards, making a
curve inwards at the base. Just a
little below the summit of the
cliffs, there stood a palm tree,
and this was the object that
allured Kawaaiki to climb that
precipice.
During his ascent the sea below
was covered with canoes,
because the cliffs rose abruptly
from the sea. Kawaaiki’s hold
against the cliffs was made with
his chin, his toe-nails and his
finger-nails. In this way he
ascended till he came to the
trunk of the palm tree. Near by
where the palm tree was growing
was a cave, and in it was the
home of a demi-god of olden
days, which was Koloea by
name. When Kawaaiki reached
the mouth of the cave, he held
on to it with his chin, his body
and limbs hanging down. He
then seized hold of the trunk of
the palm tree and climbed up. As
he landed, in the mau 9 sphere
perhaps, he observed that
Koloea had the body of a bird

of the palm tree, cut it and threw
it down. After cutting the palm
tree he descended.
OF KAOHELE.
Kaohele was most renowned for
bravery and his great speed at
running; he was without an
equal. He belonged to Molokai.
During the reign of Kahekili as
king of Maui, he (Kahekili) came
to make war upon Molokai. In
this war the king and people of
Molokai were defeated, therefore
certain warriors pursued
Kaohele, and if caught were to
kill him. While they were
pursuing him, he showed
wonderful speed, running and
jumping, running and jumping.
Therefore the pursuers were
stationed in relays. As for
instance: one at Honolulu, one at
Kulaokahua, and one at Waikiki.
If the first pursuer chasing after

Kaohele did not catch him, then
the next would continue the
pursuit, and so on; hence the
utterance: “Combine the speed
in order to catch Kaohele.”
While thus running before his
pursuers, he came to a certain
Niheu cliff called Kawa, which is
in Molokai to this day. There was
at this place a bathing pool for
the people. The ground below
was very wide, and the cliffs
quite lofty by casual observation.
Below were crowded the
warriors and chiefs from Maui,
armed with lances and spears,
ready to kill Kaohele.
When Kaohele arrived at this
place he made a great leap from
one bank to the other, and
escaped, without the pursuers
ever coming near to him. Many
of the older people saw the place
where Kaohele made the leap,
and they asserted that the
distance from bank to bank was
thirty-six feet. Therefore Kaohele
was quite famous in this and that
place throughout these Islands
from Hawaii to Niihau, on

OF KAHAHAWAI.
When Kahekili was reigning as
king of Maui, and Kahahana was
king of Oahu, it was during this
period that Kahahawai with a
number of warriors came to
make war on Oahu. In this battle
the people of Oahu were
defeated and slaughtered at
Niuhelewai, 10 and the waters of
the stream were turned back, the
stream being dammed by the
corpses of the men.
After the battle of Niuhelewai,
the chiefs and the men retreated
and encamped on the mountains
of Kaala. They were well
supplied with war implements
and other things necessary for
the destruction of their enemies.
So Kahahawai contrived a
means of destroying them, thus:
Hawaii a Niihau i ka mama a me
ke koa. [499]
NO KAHAHAWAI.

They were a little more than forty
men, and Kahahawai told them
to prepare torches. When these
were ready they went one
evening to the top of a hill which
was near to the rendezvous of
the enemies where they lighted
their torches.
After the torches were lit they
moved away to a cliff called
Kolekole 11 and hid themselves
there, leaving their torches
burning at the former place until
they (the torches) died out. The
enemies thought that Kahahawai
and his men had gone off to
sleep. They therefore made a
raid on the men of Kahahawai.
But Kahahawai and his men
arose and destroyed all the
people who were asleep on the
hills and the mountains of Kaala.
Thus the enemies were
annihilated, none escaping.
Those who raided the torch
encampment were captured,
there being no avenue for
escape from death and
destruction by Kahahawai and
his men.

Therefore, the conquest of Oahu
by Kahekili was complete
through the bravery and great
ingeniousness of his warrior,
Kahahawai, in devising means
for the destruction of the enemy.
Thus Oahu remained in
subjugation until the reign of
Kalaikupule, Kahekili’s son,
when it was conquered by
Kamehameha.
OF UMA.
Uma was a daring and very
small midget, looking at his
person (about two cubits and a
half in height). 12 He was very
skillful in the art of bone-
breaking, one of the principal
things taught in Hawaii. During
the time of Kamehameha I, the
king of Hawaii, there was much
robbery amongst the people, in
lonely places, in ravines and in
forests of tall timbers.
Nolaila, ua puni Oahu nei ia
Kahekili, make o kona kanaka o
Kahahawai, a me ka maalea loa
i ka mea e make ai na enemi.
Pela no ka lilo ana Oahu nei a
hiki ia Kalaikupule ka Kahekili
keiki, ia wa lilo ia Kamehameha.
NO UMA.
He wahi kanaka aa uuku loa o
Uma, ma kona kino ke nana aku,

Kamehameha akahi ke ’lii o
Hawaii, he nui loa ka powa ana

mehameha, ma na awawa, a ma
na ululaau loloa.
Uma belonged to Kohala, and
Puehuehu was his place of
abode. From there he went to
Puuhue, a hill which stands at
the southern part of Kohala, a
place thickly covered with woods
and shrubbery. 13 When Uma
came to this place (he was
carrying a piece of salt meat)
and on entering the forest he
found four men resting. 14 Two
were on the edge of the road,
one toward the center, and one
standing.
Uma greeted them but they did
not respond, and as Uma turned
to go, a man [500]grasped him on
the back. Uma faced about and
threw the end of a rope 15 (about
three feet long), which encircled
and held fast one of the men.
Another man with an iron
spade 16 leaped forward to stab
him. But Uma got hold of the first
man he had caught, by the hair,
and held him as a shield. This
man was hit by the spade of the
other man and killed. Another
man leaped up to stab Uma with
the iron spade but Uma dodged
and caught him on the throat;
No Kohala o Uma, o Puehuehu

that was his last moment. Three
were killed and one ran away,
thus escaping from Uma.
Thence he went on the way
down to Kapia, at Waimea,
looking toward Maunakea
mountains, and continued on to
Manauea stream to have a drink
of water. While he was drinking,
ten men appeared from down
stream. When they came up to
Uma, he saluted them, but they
did not respond. He then arose
and turned to go when one of the
men sprang forward to seize
him, but he slipped from under
the man and caught the man by
the throat, which made the
man’s tongue hang out. Another
man also sprang forward, but he
got a kick from Uma that sent
him into the water. Thus Uma
dealt with the men, save two,
who escaped by running away.
Uma went on to Mahiki, 17 a
place between Waimea and
Hamakua, where he met an old
man sitting in the road, at a
resting place in the Hill of
Moeawa (Puu o Moeawa). He
saluted Uma, and Uma did the
koe hookahi, holo aku la ia, a
pela i pakele ai ia Uma.

same to him. He then took a
smoke from his pipe, handing it
to Uma after an interval. And
while Uma was smoking the old
man pushed the back of the
pipe, but it did not go down
because Uma was on the look-
out, and therefore did not receive
the misfortune intended for him.
Uma, however, had in a loop of
his girdle some salt which he
threw in the eyes of the old man.
And while he was rubbing his
eyes which were burning Uma
threw the pikoi at end of a three-
foot cord, which encircled and
held the man fast, and his limbs
were broken in pieces. Uma then
went on his way.
While on his way, having passed
Hamakua and upper Hilo, he
came to Kaupakuea where a
little further on, was a ravine full
of neneleau 18 shrubbery. When
Uma arrived at that place, he
found a great big man sitting in
the stream. Uma saluted him,
but the other did not make any
answer. In this meeting Uma
came near losing his life by that
man, because of the man’s great
size and his proficiency in the art
