candy. The edible palolo was some
used for plastering in the olden times,
and the clay banks or ravines of pill

any more.
The large taro patches or lois which
lay in terraces in front of the rocky
knoll were known as the mai-lepo-o
Kamanele.'' Kamanele was a prin-
cess, daughter of Governor Kuakini,
and niece of Kaahumanu.
Kapilipili was part of her patrimony,
and as it was a dry, rather worthless
land, otherwise than when the clay
banks erupted, the energetic young
princess set to make it valuable by
making lois or taro patches She set
all her retainers to digging, leveling,
beating down banks and all the neces-
sary work for turning out frst-class
loi land and to encourage them she
jumped into the loi herself, toiling early.
and late with her people. When re-
preached by the other chiefs for soil
ing herself, she was accustomed to say,
As Kuakini didn't have son, l
must be both keikikane and keikawa-

I'LL, of revered memory, was so i'm
pressed by the bravery and industry
of the young girl that one fine morning
he suddenly appeared with his whole
! court, retainers, hangers-on, etc., and,
plunging right into the muddy lois, set
to work industriously, helping the
Princess rather tired workers. That
is how it came about that instead of
one large loi there were a series of
five large ones and several smaller ones.
Kamanele laid out, commenced and
dug and finished the socalled Auwai
Maluna, commencing way up in the
middle of upper Manoa valley, where
the Manoa bridge now is, to carry
water to her beloved lois and also to
the fishpond she afterward dug out at
the upper back of the knoll, in what
is now part of College Hills, and was
called Keapuapu.
