[Footnote 99: _Kau-kini_. The name of a hill back of Lahaina-luna, the traditional residence of a _kahuna_ named _Lua-hoo-moe_, whose two sons were celebrated for their manly beauty. Ole-pau, the king of the island Maui, ordered his retainer, Lua-hoo-moe, to fetch for his eating some young _u-a’u_, a sea-bird that nests and rears its young in the mountains. These young birds are esteemed a delicacy. The kahuna, who was a bird-hunter, truthfully told the king that it was not the season for the young birds; the parent birds were haunting the ocean. At this some of the king’s boon companions, moved by ill-will, charged the king’s mountain retainer with suppressing the truth, and in proof they brought some tough old birds caught at sea and had them served for the king’s table. Thereupon the king, not discovering the fraud, ordered that Lua-hoo-moe should be put to death by fire. The following verses were communicated to the author as apropos of Kau-kini, evidently the name of a man: Ike ia Kau-kini, he lawaia manu. He upena ku’u i ka noe i Poha-kahi, Ua hoopulu ia i ka ohu ka kikepa; Ke na’i la i ka luna a Kea-auwana; Ka uahi i ke ka-peku e hei ai ka manu o Pu-o-alii. O ke alii wale no ka’u i makemake Ali’a la, ha’o, e! [Translation.] Behold Kau-kini, a fisher of birds; Net spread in the mist of Poha-kahi, That is soaked by the sidling fog. It strives on the crest of Koa-auwana. Smoke traps the birds of Pu-o-alii. It’s only the king that I wish: But stay now—I doubt. ] [Footnote 100: _Auwana_. Said to be an eminence on the flank of Haleakala, back of Ulupalakua.] [Footnote 101: _Apua_. A place on Hawaii, on Maui, on Oahu, on Kauai, and on Molokai.] [Footnote 102: _Mama ula ia ka malua ula_. The malua-ula was a variety of tapa that was stained with _hili kukui_ (the root-bark of the kukui tree). The ripe kukui nut was chewed into a paste and mingled with this stain. _Mama ula_ refers to this chewing. The _malua ula_ is mentioned as a foil to the pa-ú, being a cheap tapa.]
