ttle finger and toe. With these he
flew to the cripple, whom he lifted and bore in his flight as far as
Waipio, and there dropped him at a point just below where the water
bursts forth at Waipahu.

Arrived at his house, Kalelealuaka, after disposing of his spoils,
lay down and slept. After he had slept several hours, his wives came
along in none too pleased a mood and awoke him, saying his meat was
cooked. Kalelealuaka merely answered that it was so late his appetite
had gone, and he did not care to eat.

At this slight his wives said: "Well, now, do you think we are
accustomed to work? We ought to live without work, like a king's
daughters, and when the men have prepared the food then we should go
and eat it."

The women were still muttering over their grievance, when along
came the soldiers, boasting of the powers of Keinohoomanawanui,
and as they passed Kalelealuaka's door they said it were well if
the two wives of this fellow, who lounges at home in time of war,
were given to such a brave and noble warrior as Keinohoomanawanui.

The sun was just sinking below the ocean when the footsteps of the
cripple were heard at the King's door, which he entered, sitting down
within. After a short time the King asked him about the battle. "The
valor and prowess of this third man were even greater than those
of the previous ones; yet all three resemble each other. This day,
however, he first avenged himself by slaying those who had spoken ill

In a few days again came a report that Kualii had an army at a place
called Kahapaakai, in Nuuanu. Maliuhaaino immediately marshalled his
forces and started for the scene of battle the same evening.

Early the next morning Kalelealuaka awakened his wives, and said
to them: "Let us breakfast, but do you two eat quietly in your own
house, and I in my house with the dogs; and do not come until I
call you." So they did, and the two women went and breakfasted by
themselves. At his own house Kalelealuaka ordered Kaluhe to stir
up the dogs and keep them barking until his return. Then he sprang
away and lighted at Kapakakolea, where he overtook the cripple, whom,
after the usual interchange of greetings, he lifted, and set down at
a place called Waolani.

On this day his first action was to smite and slay those who had
reviled him at his own door. That done, h
