KEINoHooMANAWANUI AND
KALELEALUAKA.

wanu became quite favorite, not on
ly with the King, but with the popu-
lace as well, so much so that the King
felt mortified at the thought of his
having given his own daughter (as he
then perceived) to worthless man.
Kaleealuaka proved as indolent
as could be, having never been
seen outside the house to which the
King had carried him on their recep-
ton eve, when Keinohoomanawanu
would have been more worthy of her.
Whenever the Princess was asked
where her husband was, she always re-
piled that he was asleep; and it was a
fact that few days after their honey
moon, his usual sleepiness came over
him, so that it was months afterwards
when he was awakened by thunder
and lightning After having awakened
from his long sleep, one evening, he
and his royal spouse took walk, os-
tensibly for exercise, but more for the
purpose of finding out the situation OF
things in general Kalelealuaka could
perceive by the actions Of the people
that he was not liked, from remarks
dropped by several, which were over
heard by him. He perceived, also in
peoples looks and actions, that KENO
hoomanawanui was the favorite.
While quietness reigned supreme on
the Kona side OF the Koolau Noun
tains loud, rumbling noise of discon-
tentment was heard over the Koolau
poko side; it grew louder and louder
until it fairly broke out into rebellion
of great magnitude, which threatened
to overthrow the dynasty Of Kakui-
hewa. The King perceiving the i'm
minent danger he was in, consulted his
great Kahuna as to what should be
done. Kahuna advised that every
able-bodied man from Maunalua to
Kahaeokaoio be mustered Qeaving the
manned and the hal0 quell the rebel
lion which was growing more serious
every day. The King complied with his
Kahuna's advice and sent runners to
proclaim his desire. The people mus
tered around the Kings Palace from
far and near, until in very short space
of time large army had been organ
lied, fully equipped to deal death
to the enemies Of the King The
army was then set in motion, going by
way of Kahuku, and coming into Koo-
laupoko by way Of Kualoa point, when
the rebellous enemies were caught
sight of, halt was ordered. After the
army had left Eva district, the King
called lavorite servant and told him
that he wanted the servant to follow the
army and observe how they fought, and
if possible to observe who among his
warriors were the bravest. Runners
were also sent throughout the Kona,
Eva, Waialua, Waianae, and Koolau-
loa districts to see who among tht
able-bodied men had not gone to war
and should any be found lettering
at home to have them brough
to him to do duty.
Among those who we're found a
home was the son-in-law of the King
who felt displeased at the action of hi!
daughters husband. No doubt he
would have taken extreme measure:
there and then to be rid of such {
worthless son-in-law if it was not of the
remembrance of the great Kahuna''
words, that time may come when the
son-in-law may render valuable serv
ices. After giving instructions about
the welfare of those to be left behinc
and in case of his death how he wish
ed the Kingdom to be divided among
his children, he started in person witt
some of his retinue to the scene of war
The King having arrived, preparation
for war was at once begun, and a battle
was fought on the same day.
The hunchback servant or inspector
of the King, in order that he might ge
an unobstructed view of the battle wa
climbing one of the knolls. Hakipul
suddenly felt himself carried away b,
some one, but who the man was tina
was carrying him he could not tell
After having got to the top of th'
knoll the man said to him, ''Watcl
me" and with that, the man flew from
him like the wind; so fast did he rur
I that the end of his malo stood ou
straight from behind him. On hey

midst of the enemy, when with on
thrust of his spear ten Of the men fel

came, nobody new where. The deeC
of this wonderful man brought con
r sternation in the hearts Of the enemy
: but they did not cease fighting unit
' darkness prevented them only, to be

obstinacy, knowing that if they gave u
the fight it was death to them; for tn
