Persecution. Just recently, some people here in Honolulu were persecuted for their tattooing, for their knocking out teeth, and for other foolish actions; they were led all about, here and there, by the overseer, while he made a spectacle of their offense before people. Perhaps this is a good thing; the ignorant will be shamed and the rogues will be in fear.

At the Hospital was where the life of Kauhane left, one of the Hawaiians that was very familiar amongst the different ethnicities of this town. And this caused his friends around town to be overcome; he was a man that was very familiar as a sounder of the police whistle and an officer on street corners.

O Friends, Companions, those who go hand in hand with the Leo, who walk together on the sands of Kakuhihewa moistened by the Kukalahale rains, living from Maunalua to Moanalua. Greetings to you all.
Remember the title above, “I nui ke aho.” This is one of the touching statements said by our Land Conqueror [Na’i Aina], when one of his warriors was pierced by a barbed spear; when he saw this predicament, he grabbed and pulled the spear, and that is when the warrior cried out in pain. But that conqueror of aina responded quickly while shedding tears, “My son, be patient.” Continue reading
There was a lot of schooling fish at Kaawaloa, South Kona, Hawaii, these past nights; that is according to a letter from a friend on the 1st, uwiuwi and aha fishes. The horses are weighed down and the Portuguese children of the uplands of that district are vitalized.

At Kilauea, Kauai, the uwiuwi is schooled in abundance, and the bags of the people there were filled. On a later day, there were great schools of Akule at Hanamaulu, and the hungry got their fill of fish. What is the meaning of this schooling of fish?

…Kamehameha asked: “Which Kawaihae are you going to?”
“To Kawaihae Kai, near the capital where the alii lives,” answered the woman.
“So what is that bundle you hold in your hand?” Kamehameha questioned.
The woman responded, “A bundle of Lipalu seaweed.”
With that Kamehameha said: “Say woman, I am one of the alii’s men, and my occupation is one of the messengers for the alii.
