The flames of the woman have disappeared, they are not to be seen; there is no smoke, not at all. This is a mysterious omen shown by the night; this has not happened from old times. This is the first time this mysterious omen has been seen.
Mosquito introduction
[Found under “KELA AME KEIA”]
Hawaii nei was a place that the mosquito was not seen before. But in the year 1826, there was seen a great many whaling ships arriving. From Mexico there was a ship called Welinekona [Welington] that visited Lahaina, Maui. It was those people who brought this evil one and spread it here in Hawaii.
Schooling fish
[Found under: “NU HOU KULOKO]
Nā Iʻa Kū.–Here at Waimea, Oʻahu, there are a lot of fish schooling. 1. Akule, 2. Weke, 3. Nehu. But that of the greatest number is Nuha. And we hear that at Kaiaka as well, it is amazing; this is not something that happened from before; it is the first time.

Death of Maraea Brown, Former wife of John Papa Ii, 1876.
[Found under: “NA ANOAI.”]
We are saddened to hear of the death of Mrs. Maraea Brown, on the second of this month, at Hilo. She was ill for a lengthy six months, until the day she died.

She was 30 or so years old.

At the band assembly given at Emma Square [Ema Kuea] on this past Saturday Monday, it was David Naope Naone who whirled the conductor’s baton [ka laau alakai himeni] with great deft. It is indeed a task that Hawaiians can do.
Stay Away from Meetings of the Land Thieves, 1894.
[Found under: “NU HOU KULOKO.”]
O Hawaiians, do not approach at all areas where the land thieves are meeting, for their deeds are evil and filthy; let them be and bring shame upon themselves.
Lei niho palaoa just like new?
[Found under: “NA MEA KUPONO NO NA HOME” (Things Good for the Home)]
For Hawaiian women’s lei palaoa, or boar tusk, or perhaps elephant ivory fashioned into stick pins, they can certainly be cleaned with turpentine [aila hoomaloo], and dried out in the sun for two or three days; and its shine will be like a new one.

Kaiana abroad, 1787 (cont.)

Ahuula, the father, the son of Keawe, the King of Hawaii; and Kaupekamoku, the mother. Kaiana sailed for Kauai and his brothers stayed on Kauai, they being Namakeha and Nahiolea.
When Kaiana stopped at Hawaii, he met with Kamehameha, and Kamehameha made Kaiana one of his favorites (as is usual of Kamehameha, who cherished all of the living). Kaiana gave Kamehameha many rifles and cannons. Kamehameha held back Kaiana to remain on Hawaii, saying:
