the O1Mu swam quietly on the surface the water was quiet and there was almost a perfect calm Thus Pill and bin companions were guided to the Hawaiian Islands Pill became the King of the Inland of Hawaii and was one of the race of ancestors of the chiefs of that Island It I Is also said that a certain person Kanaka carne to the Islands while Kalapana was King When one Molke ha returned here ho

cocoa-nut fiber for the canoes and outriggers for them According to u chronicler of traditlonp whowrote about the time of the arrival of the missionaries these facts have been handed down from Ka hlkl and In ancient Hawaii The ropes of cocoanut fiber were used when the missionaries came to the Islands The shipwrecked Spaniards arrived at Kcai South Form Island of Hawaii In the year Iri27 In the time of Kcalllo kaloa and they were probably survivors surviv-ors from one of the three vessels under the command of Don Alvaso da Salvc dra bound from New Spain to the Mo lucca islands Many of the chieftain families of South Kona have descended from these shipwrecked Spaniards This was the beginning of the mingling of the Hawaiian with the Caucasian race Koallloknloa was born in 1180 and was the fortyfourth generation from Wakea Just twentyeight gene rations 1 after Paao left 1 Kohala Hawaii for Kahiki Pill was supposed to have been the last Kahlkl chief who was a King of Hawaii He was one of the race of the ancestors of chiefs of Hawaii who mingled with the shipwrecked Spaniards Span-iards In 15G5 the Hawaiian Islands were llrst discovered by Juan de Gay ton on a voyage from New Spain to the Moluccas These islands were called In Spanish Los MaJos This was about the time of Kaikllanl who was born In 130 the fortysixth generation from Waken It is an established fact that the Spaniards were the ilrst to discover I dis-cover the Hawaiian islands Two hundred years after Juan de Cayton had discovered tnese islands Capt Cook of the British navy sighted the Islands of Onhu and Kauai on January Jan-uary 13 1777 He was In command of JI D M ships Resolution and Discovery Discov-ery and irimed the group the Sandwich Sand-wich Islands In honor of the Earl of Sandwich Previous to tho arrival of Capt Cook the Hawallans had destroyed de-stroyed their war god lone and when they saw the great ship with masts they thought It was long returning with his own Island believing the masts were a forest of trees that had slid down into the sea The priests of the natives said they had endeavored I to ascertain through the sacred cup whether the strangers were gods or mortals nnd had finally decided they were not gods but foreigners haoles The prophets said These people are foreigners they arc surely the people whQ will com and dwell In thin land the haoles white people will come here and they will bring dogs with long ears A prophecy which was verified lost of the natives however believed Cook to be the pod Lone and called him Lonomnkua They foil flat on their faces before him and presented him with pigs and bananas and offered up a sacrifice to him Two yearn after on February 11 Iii he was killed In an affray with thc natives na-tives at Kcajukekua bay Hawaii After I Af-ter having killed him the natives tore his body to pieces disemboweled him and threw his Intestines on some shrubs by the waysldo Latter on two I native lads passed that way on a Journey Jour-ney from the mountains to the sca shoro and discovered the entrails t Thinking they were the entrails of a pig which by the way Is a toothsome f native dish they look them cleaned them baked the same In tlleavcs and made a meal Later on the men on the ships dlscov what the boys had done and decided that the Islands were Inhabited by cannibals but the Hawaiian I Ha-waiian islanders have never been cannibals can-nibals Some claim that the HawaIIans are of time Malay tribe There are some trees of the Malay peninsula and some of the plants In Borneo which hay similar names to thoso In Hawaii It Is I believed that the lost tilbe of Israel traveled east and south until they reached the Pacific ocean and continued on and on crossing the water until they reached these South Pacific Islands I I Isl-ands II The stories and legends of Hawaii respecting the affairs of ancient times have come down to the present generations genera-tions through various persons No written history has told of their migrations migra-tions whence they were banished whence they cone who was their leader lead-er with what craft they made their voyage hither what islands they passed In their wanderings what gods they brought with them None of these thing are on record The names of some of the gods have been handed down by traditions In manners the early Hawallans compared com-pared favorably with the most polished of the nations of a few hundred years ago Theirs was the chivalry of the fourteenth century their grace of manner man-ner often arose from the best of all true courtesy causes a heart full of and hospitality But nowhere l3jherc the slightest resemblance which would give a court of Justice the least possible opportunity to class the Hawallans with the Mongolians ALBERT P TAYLOR |
