The function of warships, 1856.
[Found under: “Ka Hoku Loa o Hawaii”]
What is the nature of a warship [Manuwa]?—Is it something that destroys? It is supplied with weapons of war to bring punishment upon the unethical [kolohe] lands who act unethically towards the land to whom the ship belongs.

Let us not be mistaken, it is something that brings destruction. Like a proper chief, it brings protection to the land, and it punishes those who are unethical in that it makes them afraid to overthrow righteousness; that is a proper warship. Continue reading

ROLAND [ROWLAND]—NAKAPUAHI.
Joined in the Covenant of Matrimony.
At Puueo in the evening of Happy New Year’s Day, these two youths gave themselves for this world and became one heart under the bonding by the Rev. S. L.

David Kaonohiokala Peleiholani Jr. passes away, 1921.
Speaking of names, I wonder how many Peleiholani are now Pele.
MY DEAR CHILD HAS GONE.
David Kaonohiokala Peleiholani
Mr. Editor of the Kuokoa, Aloha amongst us:—Please allow me once again some open space of the Pride of the Lahui, for my sad offering placed above, so that all of the family from Hawaii to Niihau will see our lei, David Kaonohi Peleiholani, shortened to D. K. Pele Jr., [left this] life in America.
In the happiness of this life and the enjoyment, one becomes dejected when you had not expected sad news would arrive.
The telegraph of Puuloa informed me, “your son, David Kaonohi Pele, died at the navy hospital in America on the 26th of February, 1921, because he had persistent pneumonia for six weeks. Auwe, my sorrow for you! Auwe what anguish!
