Moi of Maui during this period, and for some time after, but obeyed its own independent chiefs, the ancestors of Kalanipehu and descendants of Keoloewa and Nuakea. The island of Lanai, however, and its chiefs, though often in a state of revolt, appear always to have recognised the Moi of Maui as their suzerain. From the time of Mauiloa, third from Haho and contemporary with Laamaikahiki, to the time of Kaulahea I., there must have been troublous times on Maui, and much social and dynastic convulsions, to judge from the confusion and interpolations occurring on the royal genealogy of this period. I have shown it to be nearly historically certain that the Oahu and Maui Paumakuas were contemporary, and it will be seen in the sequel that it is absolutely certain that Kawaokaohele on the Paumakuahaho line was contemporary with Kalamakua, Piliwale, and Lo-Lale on the Maweke line of Oahu chiefs, as well as on the Oahu Paumakua line through Lauli-a-Laa; and yet the Maui royal genealogy, as recited at the court of Kahikili II. at the close of the last century, counts thirteen generations between Mauiloa and Kaulahea I., or sixteen generations between Mauiloa and Kawaokaohele, whereas the Maweke and Oahu Paumakua genealogies count only seven from Laamaikahiki to Keleanohoanaapiapi, the sister of Kawaokaohele. Even the contemporary Hawaii royal genealogy from Kaniuhi to Kiha-nui counts only seven generations. Evidently the Maui genealogy has been doubled up by the insertion of contemporary chieftains, who probably divided the rule of some of the southern immigrant chiefs or from the ancient Nanaulu line, I have not been able fully to ascertain. The ever more or less uncertain state of allegiance of the Hana chiefs to the Maui sovereign, and their frequently independent political status, would seem to have been born of some radical ancient antagonism. The old legends mention incidentally that Kanaloa and Kalahuimoku, two of the sons of Hualani, the wife of Kanipahu, and fifth in descent from Maweke, settled at Kauwiki in Hana. While the Hawaii chiefs retained the pedigree of the younger brother whose grand-daughter Kamanawa married Kuaiwa, the Moi of Hawaii, the descendants of the older brother, have dropped out of memory. Kanaloa may have been the great-grandfather of Eleio. hua. the island. The Oahu and Hawaii genealogies convict In reconstructing the Maui royal genealogy for this Looking down the line of these Maui chiefs, I have. found nothing but the names to distinguish the lives of Mauiloa, Alo or Alau, and Kuhimana. The son of KuhiKamaloo- mana was Kamaloohua, of whom mention is made on page 67, and who was attacked, defeated, and taken prisoner by Kalaunuiohua of Hawaii, carried captive in the conqueror's train to Kauai, and there liberated by Kukona after the crushing defeat of Kalaunuiohua. The above-mentioned Kalona register indicates that Kuhimana had a daughter named Waohaakuna, through whom Mailikukahi of Oahu became connected with the Maui line of chiefs. She does not appear by that name on the Kakuhihewa pedigree, though, according to ancient custom, it was very common for high chiefs to be known by several names. While Kamaloohua ruled over the greater part of Maui, a chief who was doubtless a near relation, and was called 1 ! Wakalana, ruled over the windward side of the island and resided at Wailuku. During his time tradition records that a vessel called "Mamala" arrived at Wailuku. The captain's name is said to have been Kaluiki-a-Manu, and the names of the other people on board are given in the tradition as Neleike, Malaea, Haakoa, and Hika. These latter comprised both men and women, and it is said that Neleike became the wife of Wakalana and the mother of his son Alo-o-ia, and that they became the progenitors of a light-coloured family, "poe ohana Kekea," and that they were white people, with bright, shining eyes, "Kanaka Keokeo, a ua alohilohi na maka." The tradition further states that their descendants were plentiful in or about Waimalo and Honouliuli on Oahu, and that their appearance and countenances changed by intermarriage with the Hawaiian people. As the time of Kamaloohua and Wakalana was at least twenty generations ago, or about the middle of the thirteenth century, it is evident that no Europeans traversed the Pacific Ocean at that time, and that these white or light-coloured foreigners probably were the crew of some Japanese vessel driven out of her course, and brought by winds and currents to these shores, as is known to have happened at least in two instances. since the islands were discovered by Captain Cook, and may have happened at other unrecorded times previous to the event now referred to. That the Hawaiian natives regarded these castaways as of an alien race is evident; and the impression of astonishment and wonder at their light complexions remained on the traditional record long after their descendants had become absorbed by, and become undistinguishable from, the original native inhabitants. Another version of the same tradition, while substantially the same as the foregoing, differs somewhat in the names of the new arrivals; and the event is ascribed to the time of Kamaloohua, while the other ascribes it to the time of Wakalana. As Kamaloohua and Wakalana were contemporary, and as the main fact is identical in VOL. IL F both versions, this difference rather confirms than weakens the truth of the narrative, inasmuch as it goes to show that the remembrance of the event had come down on two different streams of tradition, one reckoning time by \the reign of Kamaloohua, the other by that of Wakalana. After the reign and times of Kamaloohua nothing worthy of note has been recorded of the Maui chiefs until Kakae and we arrive at the time of Kakae and Kakaalaneo, the sons Kakaalaneo. of Kaulahea I., three generations after Kamaloohua. Of Kakae personally nothing is remembered.1 His wife's name was Kapohauola, and she was probably the same Kapohauola who at one time was the wife of Ehu, the son of Kuaiwa, on the Hawaii Pili line, and thus establishes the contemporaneity of these chieftains. Kakae's son was Kahekili I., who is known to have had two children, a son named Kawao Kaohele, who succeeded him as Moi of Maui, and a daughter named Keleanohoanaapiapi, who was successively the wife of Lo-Lale, son of Kalonaiki, and of Kalamakua, son of Kalona-nui, on the Oahu Maweke line. Kakae's brother, Kakaalaneo, appears, from the tenor of the legends, to have ruled jointly with Kakae over the islands of Maui and Lanai. He was renowned for his thrift and energy. The brothers kept their court at Lahaina, which at that time still preserved its ancient name of Lele, and tradition has gratefully remembered him as the one who planted the bread-fruit trees in Lahaina, for which the place in after times became so famous. A marvellous legend is still told of one of Kakaalaneo's sons, named Kaululaau, who, for some of his wild pranks at his father's court in Lahaina, was banished to Lanai, which island was said to have been terribly haunted by ghosts and goblins-" Akua-ino." Kaululaau, however, by his prowess and skill, exorcised 1 He was surnamed Kaleo-iki, and was considered as deficient in mental qualities. Some traditions state that Luaia was his grandson, but all the genealogies that I have seen or heard make Luaia the grandson of Kakaalaneo, and I have followed the latter. the spirits, brought about quiet and order on the island, and was in consequence restored to the favour of his father.1 It is said that Kaululaau's mother was Kanikaniaula, of the Molokai Kamauaua family, through Haili, a brother of Keoloewa. With another wife, named Kaualua, Kakaalaneo had a son, Kaihiwalua, who was the father of Luaia, who became the husband of the noted Kukaniloko, daughter of Piliwale, the Moi of Oahu, son of Kalona-iki, and brother of Lo-Lale and Kamaleamaka.2 hele. During the reign of Kawaokaohele, the son of Kahikili KawaokaoI., and grandson of Kakae, the island of Maui appears to have been prosperous and tranquil. No wars with neighbouring islands or revolts of turbulent chieftains at home have left their impress on the traditional record. Kawaokaohele's wife was Kepalaoa, whose pedigree is not remembered, but who was probably some Maui chiefess. The manner in which Kawaokaohele's sister, Kelea, surnamed “Nohoanaapiapi," became the wife of the two prominent Oahu chiefs above mentioned is characteristic of the times, and was a favourite subject of bards and raconteurs in after ages. The tradition regarding her may be abridged as follows: There lived at this time at Lihue, Ewa district, Oahu, a chief named Lo-Lale, son of Kalona-iki, and brother of Piliwale, the reigning Moi of Oahu. He was a bachelor and a man of an amiable temper. His brothers and the friendly neighbouring chiefs became very anxious that he should take unto himself a wife. Apparently no suitable match for so high a chief could be found on Oahu, or none had succeeded in captivating the fancy of Lo-Lale. In this case a bride must be sought for abroad, and a |
