the sea.
Pele and Kama Puaa had an argu-
ment and Kama Puaa went to Hale
maumnu, Pele's home. TO fight 1t out.
The god and goddess fought until Pele
was overcome, and she pleaded for
peace, according to the legend.
"We shall have peace If you prom
Use never to allow your lava to flow
through Puma or Hilo to the sea-"
Kama Puaa said. Pele assented, and
she has never broken the promise,
fearing a return Of the hated Kama
Puaa, the legend said.
In 1880, when n lava flow was pro-
ceeding toward H Hn0 and threatened to
destroy the city, the Princess Ruth
came from Honolulu here and, standing
near the flow. reminded Pele of her
promise and her danger from Kama
Puaa If she broke the agreement. The
