ION the 4th Of February Lono departed, but
when he arrived opposite Kavaihae, he observed
that one OF the mGsts was split and he returned
the vessel to the anchorage, the natives con-
timed relations with him-relations however,
which we're lees frequent and intimate than
before.

men had lasted long time, and some OF them
were much taken with the visitors; In conse-
quence Of which the islanders we're very angry.
when the inhabitants began TO manifest
opposition, the strangers were not backward
in using their guns; besides which, they
took possession Of the canoe OF chief
named Palea; who, in consequence OF his
resistance TO this act, fell struck by a blow
from an oar. Upon this his men fought with
| renewed strength and commenced throw

OF being killed by Lono, caused the struggle

Some little time after Palea stole boat

was probably instgated by revenge; but his
! greediness for iron might have led him into
wrongdoing. This, however, was the immedi-
'Lono commanded the chief TO seek for the
boat and to restore II to the vessel this, how

| broken up for the sake of the iron.
'Lono and his men, armed with guns landed,
that they might take possession of the chief,
with the idea of taking HIM on board-to remain

"At the time Lono landed to take Kaaniopuu,

Those who we're left on board fred, and

death, hurried to land, and it was he who pre-
vented Kalaniopuu from going on board.
when the people found that chief had been

in his hand. Lono was afraid, and nred and

who lay dead at his side; aud they reached the

There Kalaninpuu offered up Lono as o sacri-

the flesh was stripped from the bones; and the
bones, the palms OF the hands, and the entrails,

children, who took them by mistake for those

ate them. A portion of the bones were car

were kept by the priests and worshipped.
