Nobody else was Oh horseback; / could see

Kamai when the men returned TO the
camp, and after Kilinahe came and
told me what he bad DONE / did not
see what Kamaka was doing be was on horse
back, with lssso, which was coiled up around
the loggerhead, nicely-it did not look as if it
had been used. He was on horseback coming
back to the lanai, with his rope cooled he
tied ont his horse below the lanai we all re-
turned into the lanai; we chanted. Kaona
came out at that time from his house, and
chanted with us. Kumai's body was at that
time outside of the lanai. After chanting, I
went out to see the body of Kamai; saw it.
l was acquainted with him when living that
was his dead body. I did not see any wounds
on his head saw some blood in his mouth;
his face had turned black. That was all l saw
of him. The blackness of face was all I saw Il:
otherwise the face was the same.

his gun he dropped it, seized stone, threw
it, then turned and Aed-our folks pursuing

anyone say anything about running up to a
stone-wall and falling down. l did not see
kamai between the firing and his death ].

me heard Kilinahe say he had killed Kamai
" As kamai stood up gave him one blow"
l did not reply TO Kilinahe some one else an

not hear anybody else say they killed Kamai.

All of us did not have axes-good many in

Kamai, sworn, deposed Ny name is Ka-

the disturbance / received an injury from
Loka, at the time of the coming of persons
in the afternoon to the battle, mauka of the
lanai. At that time Kupakee gave the order
to fire. They fred, and threw stones ut the
same time. Sticks also they had 1 saw that
some of the sticks were coffee, mia and kukui
some as large as my arm, and some, larger.
Coffee and inia sticks are heavy sticks think
there were 500, and more, of them. AS ran,
l saw a man, Loka, by name, aiming his gun
at me; l seized stone, but did not get hold
of it before l was shot in arm and thigh IS
shot in left side, one shot in right foot, and
one in my right hand. The shot are nearly
all out now-only one remaining. Nawaiehu
was with Loka. Kupakee was leader of the
party in the afternoon of the 18th of October,
1858, at Kainalu. Lehuula, Island of Hawaii.
Nawaiehu had stick, and Kamai gun, in
his hand. The Kamai that is dead, shot his
gun. As was shot, our party chased the at
tackers after they fired, and they turned and |
fed. l did not feel any pain at the time was
shot. We returned to the lanai. Afterwards, |
heard that Kamai was dead. 1 heard from |
Kilinahe's mouth, that he killed Kanai 1 |
was in the lanai. All the party were gathered |
in the lanai, and Kaona, also. did not see |
him come out; he was in his house, on the |
Kau side, at the time of the attack, but he |
was in the lanai when l returned. Kalama
is a weak man. In answer to Kaona i
do know Kaona; be has lived with us to the |
time of the disturbance; because Kaona led US
in the true way of God, without fasehood, he
was greatly loved by us. He was peaceable
man in his character. do not know of any /
weapons of war made ready for fighting. I
heard no words of such character, nor did l |
hear any such words.
Saw Kamai fill his gun from Mauka. Ka-
mai died after that. As he fred his gun and
we pursued. he ran makai, and the rest ran up
mauka, Kamaka threw the rope after Kamai,
but did not catch him. Kamaka was on horse
back about 10 or more fathoms distant from
the lanai. Kamai took hold of the rope, and
overloaded the rope and Kamaka took hold
Of the sleeve Of Kamai's garment and he
jerked away and Kilinahe came up, it was
close to the stone wall. As be told Us, himself,
Kilinahi struck Kamai the three blows that
killed him Blows were struck with his fist,
