Aloha Likelike
The new governor,
The replacement for S. Kipi,
Who is mourned for,
She is admired;
From Hilo to Kau,
Until Kohala,
Along with Hamakua.
Aloha Likelike
We are blessed;
We look at your visage,
Full of gratitude:
You come with joy,
And meet with us,
Our hands applaud,
And our hearts are happy.
The word of God,
Is your compass,
And it is your protection
It is your Sun;
Live! Live!
The new Governor;
O Alii Likelike
Long may you live.]

This past Thursday, January 13, Her Highness, Princess Likelike entered the thirty-seventh of her birthday, because it was on the 13th of January 1851 that she was born from the royal womb of the seeker of lords, Keohokalole.
Due to the sickness of the Princess these past days, the companions and many friends of the one whose day it was could not go in person to extend their congratulations and their prayers.
The Pae Aina extends its congratulations and prays for the sacred protection of the Heavens with the great hope that her life is extended until she is of very old age.

There are a number of Hawaiians planing a new Hawaiian newspaper for the Island of Hawaii, under the direction of John Kai. This will perhaps be a newspaper that fights against the Board of Supervisors [Papa Lunakiai] and the Chairman [Lunahoomalu]. And there is other word that it will wrestle with the Hoku. That is their business.

MISSING.—The past week, a haole named Kapena (Capt. P. Cummings) went missing in the town of Honolulu. He is a well-known haole from Napoopoo, South Kona, Hawaii; but when he became weak, he came to Honolulu to find a cure for his body here. However during the week stated above, he disappeared from his residence in Honolulu nei. We hear that he wrote his wife and his family that they would not see him again. It is being advertised and he is being searched for, but there has been no sign of him. Perhaps he has wandered off in the mountains or cliffs, but no news has reached us.
Kapena Found.—In the evening of this past Tuesday, the dead body of Kapena (P. Cummings) was found mauka of the hill of Puowaina by a Hawaiian man. This man will probably be paid $100.00, as was advertised.
