He Inoa no Kalani.

O Kalena kai Haleauau
O Lihue i Malamanui
O ka wai iho ia olu kaua
O Kaala kau mai iluna
O ka ehuehu ae a ke kai
Ka moena pawehe o Mokuleia
Ka lae o Kaena kaa mamua
O Lauhulu no me Pukoa
A Halemano lulu ka lehua
O Waomalu no noho i ka olu
Haina mai ka puana
O ka Lua o na Lani he inoa

[This mele, a name song for Kamehameha II, is still popular today, and is more commonly known as “Kalena Kai.” It was not “hidden” within a separate moolelo, but the reason that it was and is hard to find is that the digital images of this newspaper, Lei Momi, are terrible. I hope one day soon this and all the other Hawaiian-Language Newspapers will be rescanned as clearly as possible before they disintigrate…]

[There appears to be six deaths listed, but the digital image is totally blacked out, and the microfilm image is not much better. Hopefully one day in the near future, the Hawaiian-Language Newspapers will be rescanned clearly, so each and every name, and each and every word can be read easily!]
