Keoua Hale was crowded this past Tuesday with people going to see the auction of the furniture of Bishop. The bed of Keelikolani went for $200.
[At the death of Keelikolani, Keoua Hale became the residence of Bernice Pauahi and Charles Reed Bishop. I wonder what became of this bed.]

The illustration above is of the beautiful house of Princess R. Keelikolani, standing in Honolulu, and called Keoua Hale.

It became an unforgettable day for the many who gathered at Kaakopua in Honolulu nei, on this past Thursday, February 9, 1882, those being the people who were sent an invitation, and not only people of Honolulu, but from all over the Archipelago; they totaled more than a thousand and went to express their congratulations to and beloved prayers for her highness turning sixty-three years from when she was born, for she was born on the 9th of February of the year 1818, and so she has indeed reached an old age, and she is the very last descendent of the Kamehamehas still living.

On the steamship of this past 28th of April from San Francisco, we have heard once again, the Heir to the Throne of Hawaii is in England where she is continuing her studies in good and robust health. And as an example of Her competence in many languages, she sent her father a letter in French.
[In those days, much of the news from afar came by way of steamship.]

In these Ahupuaa my ancestors lived without moving and going here and there until they all left for the other world.

And in 1901, I bought the ownership of these Ahupuaa from Mrs. Kamai Nahina.
I built the Salmon store, while going to Honolulu to purchase pounds and barrels of salmon, and began to sell it with much success. And then the time came when government workers arrived and demolished the grounds surrounding my store; destroyed was my sweet potato, sugarcane, bananas, pumpkin, along with my store; the loss was $250, and until this day I have not been paid a cent.
But the Math book clarifies: If the one that comes ahead is bad, then the one to follow will be bad as well, and it will not have a long life in this world. However, if the one that comes ahead is good, its follower will indeed be good. Long will be its days.¹
