ike sails to Maui with his younger brother and chief
counsellor, Pupuakea, to visit King Kamalalawalu, whose younger brother
is Makakuikalani: In the contest of wit, Lonoikamakahike is successful.
The king of Maui wishes to make war on Hawaii and sends his son to spy
out the land, who gains false intelligence. At the same time
Lonoikamakahike sends to the king two chiefs who pretend disaffection
and egg him on to ruin. In spite of Lanikaula's prophecy of disaster,
Kamalalawalu sails to Hawaii with a fleet that reaches from Hamoa, Hana,
to Puakea, Kohala; he and his brother are killed at Puuoaoaka, and their
bodies offered in sacrifice.[1]

Lonoikamakahike, desiring to view "the trunkless tree Kahihikolo," puts
his kingdom in charge of his wife and sails for Kauai. Such are the
hardships of the journey that his followers desert him, only one
stranger, Kapaihiahilani, accompanying him and serving him in his
wanderings. This man therefore on his return is made chief counsellor
and favorite. But he becomes the queen's lover, and after an absence on
Kauai, finds himself disgraced at court. Standing without the king's
door, he chants a song recalling their wanderings together; the king
relents, the informers are put to death, and he remains the first man in
the kingdom until his death. Nor are there any further wars on Hawaii
until the days of Keoua.

[Footnote 1: One of the most popular heroes of the Puna, Kau, and Kona
coast of Hawaii to-day is the _kupua_ or "magician," Kalaekini. His
power, _mana_, works through a rod of _kauila_ wood, and his object
seems to be to change the established order of things, some say for
good, others for the worse. The stories tell of his efforts to overturn
the rock called Pohaku o Lekia (rock of Lekia), of the bubbling spring
of Punaluu, whose flow he stops, and the blowhole called
Kapuhiokalaekini, which he chokes with cross-sticks of _kauila_ wood.
The double character of this magician, whom one native paints as a
benevolent god, another, not 10 miles distant, as a boaster and
mischief-maker, is an instructive example of the effect of local
coloring upon the interpretation of folklore. Daggett describes this
hero. He seems to be identical with the Kalaehina of Fornander.]
