Na keia haalele ole ona i hooi loa mai ia makou i ka hoopalaimaka wale iho no o kona manao makee Hawaii, eia ka o ka pololei maoli he hoomeamea wale no a he uhiuhi lau mamane.

Ina paha he mai na na aumakua, aohe e eu koke a puka iwaho me ka hana ole ia e kekahi kahuna, aka, ua loaa koke kona laau lapaau e ola ai i ka hoea ana mai nei o ke Kowini, me ka upu mua ole o lakou.

Eia iho no ia wahi kaaka o lakou i ano omaimai a pii ka leua, oia no kahi Loio Kuhina, ka mea i kaulana no kona piha ike kanawai. Ke ao nei i ka hula no ka la nui o lakou e uniki ai, aole i mamao loa, a ia wa auanei e huai pau ai i ka ike a i ka lea hoi i ka lewa. E lewa paha auanei a hemo na maka iwaho @ lewalewa ai, a loaa wahi lewalewa ole hoi no kauhale. Ua uhi iho kona aahu o ka opili nananakea, aole wale iaia hookahi ia mai, aka, ia lakou no a pau e ia aluka mailuilu, a o ka @mama wale ae no koe. I kau hana!
Ke hoomanao nei no paha ka lehulehu i keia loaa ana o na mea hoopahu iloko o kekahi @ke maloko o ka pa o Makipine, ma ke kua aku o kahi noho o ke Aliiaimoku, i ka po o Mei 31, a na ia mea i hookau aku i ka weli i na pualikoa o lakou a hoi nui ai iloko o Iolani Hale e hehiku ai. Ua ho@iliia kela hana no ko ke Aliiaimoku aoao, i mea ka e hoopoino aku ai i ka halekoa a kaili hou ae i ke Aupuni. A hiki i ka Poakolu iho la, ua hulei pau ia ae e ka "Holomua" namu a nakeke ana na iwi e kolohe i ka la. Ua manaoia paha ia hana i mea no Balauna e hoomaopopo ai i ke ano o na poe aloha aina a makee Alii, eia nae, aole oia i hilinai iki na lakou ia mea i hana. Ua pololei no kona hilinai ole ana.
Noho iho nei ke kolohe a hoike wale ae la no. Ua hoike ae o Hale Iuena, he kapena makai Pi Gi i hoopauia, na na poe haole kiu olelo e lapuwale a me kekahi poe o ka Oihana Makai, a oia pu no kekahi, i ohumu a hooko i kela hana ekaeka, i mea ka e hiki ai ke kipaku aku i ke Aliiaimoku a me na poe i kupaa mahope ona i na aina e. Ua maopopo no ka i ka Ilamuku keia hana, a pela no hoi i kekahi poe e ae o ia oihana, aka, ua hoao loa lakou e hunakele loa.

Ua hanaia keia hoike malalo o ka hoohiki, a nolaila, ua hiki loa ke hilinaiia, no ka mea, ua hoike pu ae no ua la mea me kekahi mau kumu kupone nona e ahewaia ai.

He Ilamuku oia na na welo mikanele o lakou i paikano ae no ka hopo ole a me ka hoopono ma ka oihana, a pehea iho la keia. Me he la ua makau oia i kela poe haole lapuwale o lakou, a malama mau no nae ia lakou ma ka oihana a hiki wale no i nei wa.
Ua loaa mai he wahi nupepa hookahi ma kekahi mokupea i ka Poalua iho la, mai Kapalakiko mai, a ua lilo ae i ka Luna Kiai Awa, eia ka, he mea hanu mea hou oia no ka wahaolelo oili auwina la o ka poai hoohuiaina. Na ia nupepa hoohuiaina i hoopuka ae ia mahele o ka hoike a Balauna, a o ia mahele he palapala na ke Aliiaimoku. Ua hoikeia ma ia palapala na hoakaka a ke Aliiaimoku no na mea e pili ana i ke Kumukanawai hou ana i manao ai e kukala, ka hoi hope ana o ka Aha Kuhina, ko Mr. Kolopana kumakaia ana iaia a me ka ae ana o ka Lunakanawai Kiekie i na kinaunan o ke Kumukanawai elau pu o 1887.
