As Kila came within reach, Makalii brought down his war club, Naulukohelewalewa. The wind whistled by, the dust and sand arose in clouds, and a deep valley was seen where the club struck the ground. The two were hidden in the dust. The people ashore thought that Kila was killed, but after the cloud of dust and sand had settled they beheld Makalii and Kila still facing each other; because when Makalii swung his club on the right he brought it down on his left, so Kila had jumped toward the right side of Makalii and was saved from a terrible death. As they again faced each other, Kila twirled and brought down his club, Kahikikolo, the swirl of which felled Makalii. The reason of this escape was because Kila had in mind the warning given him by Moikeha his father, upon his departure from Kauai, in the following words: “You are about to go on your voyage. If you should fight with your uncle, don’t be thoughtless, else you will kill him.” This was the only reason why Makalii was saved; otherwise he would not have again seen the warming sun. After the fight Kila returned to his canoe, while Makalii laid on the ground for a period of time sufficiently long to cook an oven (umu) of food; whereupon he arose and staggered to the house. While on his way to the house he congratulated himself on his miraculous escape. This was the last time he was seen on earth, for he returned up above [137] and died there. The end of this contest saw Kila master of all the lands. The canoe was then beached and he went ashore. At this the shells [138] cried and asked: “What is the object of this voyage that has brought my lord here?” Kila replied: “It is a voyage in search of a chief.” The shells said: “There are no more chiefs; all are dead. We were deserted by your father in this place, without food and without fish, your father taking everything with him, and we have managed to just exist.” Kila then continued on his way, meeting the former inhabitants of the land who wailed and cried to him, until he arrived at the palace of Moikeha, Moaulanuiakea. This was a very beautiful house, being very lofty and was thatched over with the feathers of birds. The battens were made from the bones of birds and the timbers were of kauila wood. It is said in the legend of Moikeha that the reason why Moikeha journeyed to Kauai and lived with Hooipoikamalanai was on account of his oath, never to return after the ridge-pole of his house, Moaulanuiakea, had sunk out of sight.
