Mrs NakuifIa, at Mr. Atkinson's |
request. visited the old lady on several
occasions, aud, has elected the follow
ing facts:
THE HISTORY OF KEPOOLELE
APAU.
"She waStborn in Keahialaka, in
Puma, Hawai-. and was about 6 years |
old when Kanehameha made the at
tempt to sink well at Kalae, in Kau. |
'KapooleIe, her first name, was
called after a chief, Kaiakauilani,
brother to Haalou, who was Kaahu-
manus mother This Kaiakauilani |
was accused ofhaving caused the death
of some high chiefs by sorcery, and a
petition was made to the King to have
his head cut OF as a dangerous char
acter. hence the name Kepoolele (the
discovered head.
"Her second name of Apau, by which
she has been known longest, was given
to her in cOmmemoration of KapiOla
mis- visit to the crater of Kilauea, and |
nef Qe0aHce TO Hele, WHeu II was gen
orally prophesied that Kapiolani would |

the time she received the name.
Her fathers. name was KAPPA, after |
ward Piena, KAPPA was called after the |
mother-Of. peagl fish-hOok of Kaleipuu |
otherwise. Kalaniopuu). KAPPA was
born during atfshing expedition of the
King of~that-pame, Kapa's father be-
ing a head Alderman of Pima at the |
time and thpsEfhe nanfGf0- eommemor-
ate that -visSgT the King. Her moth

in PupasWiS5, occasional visits to Hilo, |
and ff1oSS TafSfy to Kau. She distinct |

war with, Kamehameha, just before he
was induced To- go meet the latter at
Kawatbaa, Hfs6re he was treacherous
ly put to death and offered in sacri
flee for the dedication of the Heiau at
Puuk0.hola The incident of KeOua's
visit was fixed ON her mind by the extra
efforts made by her father to find I'M
usual hiding places, in which to stow
away his family, so they would not be
discovered by the Kings messengers,
and thus be compelled to betray his
own. All the well known caves and
usual places of resort being useless for
that purpose.
'Apau was full grown woman when
Kapiolani and Naihe went from KOna
to Kau TO cut sandalwoOd. Naihe re-
manned in Kau with the workmen, but
Kapiolani extended her trip to Hilo by
way of Puma. where she saw and took
a liking to the subject of this sketch,
and made an Saikane of her Ga friend
with privileges of an own sister-a
sort of second self, and according to
the custom of those days, took her back
with her on her return to Kona. Apau
did not see Puma again for many years.
