Kanikauwepa [Crack of the Whip].–An ohai tree that grew before the place that Haleakala stood was called by this name, on the north-east side of Kinau Gate (the Richards Street gate) [of Iolani Palace]; and under this tree soldiers who broke the rules of the military were whipped. And that is how it got its name.
A CORRECTION.
Within the news published in the Kuokoa last week, June 18, 1920, beneath the heading, “Ka Aha Ike a na Maori ma ka Home o Mrs. A. P. Taylor,” the name of the Princess Kawananakoa was mistakenly inserted among the people invited. What is correct there is the Princess Kalanianaole.–Editor.
In the upland of Manoa, at the home of Mrs. A. P. (Ahuena) Taylor, at “Luana Pua,” an audience was given in honor of the Maori of New Zealand living here in this town. Present were a great many Hawaiians where they spent a great amount of time last night socializing with the malihini, and comparing the old Hawaiian stories with the stories of the Maori people.
This is the second time that the Maori showed up at the home of Mrs. A. P. Taylor. On this night, because of the wish of these malihini to have abundant time to meet and speak with descendants of the great families of Hawaii nei.
Present were the descendants of the Kamehameha and Kalakaua lines that night, so too were some kamaaina possessing deep knowledge of the history of the Hawaiian lahui to satisfy what these malihini desired. Continue reading
LEFT THIS LIFE FOR THE LAND OF SPIRITS BEYOND.
The angel of death came and shut the bodily house of Jos. B. Kaaoao, and forced out the spirit to return to whence it came, in the evening of Sunday, the 28th of July, at Olowalu, Maui, at his own residence, Wehekaolu.

The Monarchs [?] during those days were not pleased with that child, and from there they went to live at Kamaile, Waianae, Oahu. Continue reading

[From Ka Moolelo Hawaii, by S. M. Kamakau]

It is said that there was no great wailing in lamentation heard for the alii who died before, like the resounding wailing for Kuini Liliha. Continue reading

With the publication of the newspaper “Makaainana” this past Wednesday, it is understood that it was its last appearance as a newspaper, and that it would be at rest for all times. There have been many and a multitude of newspapers started in this era by Hawaiians, however, their conclusions have been in devastation. And it is as if the demise of the many newspapers established by Hawaiians has become reason for Hawaiians to waver and not support new newspapers that are started.

Docked Whaling Ship
On the 3rd of March the whaling ship Gay Head, Captain Shorey, left from the port of San Francisco on the 18th of December last year, made a stop at this port. The ship sailed slowly while keeping a lookout for spouting whales. And on the birthday of George Washington, with the ship far outside of Kealakekua, they spotted five sperm whales [kohola pama] spouting, so they chased and speared them with harpoons, after they were caught, they worked at rendering the oil.
