To Tell Beautiful
Pohakuloa Legend
Story of Great Stone Comes to
Light During Preparation
of Punahou Pageant -.@.

The most interesting though little
known legend Of Pohakuloa 1.-THE great
stone), has come into the light dur
ing the preparation of the Punahou
Pageant. This beautiful old legend
appealed to the historical committee
and Miss Damon, author of the Pa
geant Book, mas incorporated it in the
pageant action. The story, in short,
is as follows:
The great rock, shaped like kalo
(taro), more than IL feet in height
and weighing several tons, had long
rested beside the old Manoa trail in
the Punahou tract; more specifically
it was near Swanzy's residence, at
the junction of the stone wall on the
mauka side Of Alexander Field.
The rock was very sacred. 1t was
to the old Hawaiians fairy god, !"
whose power could bestow upon chill
dren yet unborn the power of wisdom
and astuteness. Hence expectant
mothers made pilgrimages to it,
prayed to its sacredness and besought
its blessing upon their children. BY
Hawaiians this rock was held in deep
est reverence.
When Boki and Liliha ceded the
Kapunahou tract to the missionaries
they wished to establish a proper
boundary for the land. Accordingly
kaahumanu, powerful ,chiefess and
adviser of Liliha, ordered the removal
of Pohakuloa to mark the makai ex-
tent of Kapunahou.
no hal CO
sacred by the .Hawaiians that they
would not touch it to disturb Its rest
until the king, Kamehamena III, gate
the order for it's removal and was
present himself at the ceremony.
The king leaped upon the rock, seated
himself and gave his word of COM
mand, "Imua!" Thereupon the Ha-
waiians by the score placed the stone
upon rigging of ships spars, lifted
stone and king, and-awfully chanting
the chant used whenever an idol was
moved, "Ekuawa! EkuaWa!" they car
ried the stone down to the site of the
present lower Punahou gate!
The stone remained here, forming
a dignified pillar of the gate until
though offending the prOprieties OF
sentiment-it was broken up to form
a part of the lower stone wall. At this
time the Hawaiians, mindful of their
belief in the old stones power, took
a large piece of it and planted it on
the grounds of the Kapiolani Ma
ternity Home, where it is to this day.
Fragments of Pohakuloa may still be
identified in the Punahou wall by ka-
maainas.
The episode of Pohakuloa is beauti-
fully enacted in the Punahou Pageant.

to the schools buildings. In 1910 a
new artesian well OF excellent water
was bored and pumps and tanks were
installed The new annex to Charles

serious fire occurred in 1911, entirely
destroying Castle hall, but in prompt
generosity the family built in 1928
on the old site the most beautiful of
the campus buildings, the imposing
and superb Castle han, a girls dormi-
tory. During 1913 a most prafseworthy
sentiment prompted the alumni, at a
cost Of over 5000, to remodel and
equip Old School hall-the scene Of
so much Of Punahou's fine story-as a
music hall. IN It are seven pleasant
studios.
