One of the interesting localities of forever in the cave of Malauea.' Or,
tradition, famed in Hawaiian song and w will dwell together in the great
story of ancient days, is situate at ff V!Ke of where we will eat
. t
tne soutnwestern point oi tne is:ana
of Lanai, and known as the Kupapau
o Puupehe, or Tomb of Puupeh3. At
the point indicated, on the leeward
coast of the island, may be se?n a the thic!;et9 of Kaohai for our resting
huge, block of red lava about eighty5 place, and we shall love on until the
feet high and some sixty feet in dia-
meter, standing out in the sea, and
detached from the mainland some fifty
fathoms, around which centers the fol
lowing legend.
Observed from the overhanging bluff
that overlooks Puupehe, upon the sum
mit of this block or elevated islet,
would be noticed a small inclosure
formed by a low stone wall. This is
said to be the last resting-place of a
Hawaiian girl whose body was buried
there by her lover Makakehau, a war
rior of Lanai.
Puupehe was the daughter of Uaua,
a petty chief, one of the dependents of
the king of Maui, and she was won
by young Makakehau fs the joint prize
of love and war. These two are de-
sorihpd in the Kanikau. or Lamenta-
tion, of Puupehe, as mutually captive,
the one to the other. The maiden was
a sweet flower of Hawaiian beauty. Her
glossy brown, spotless body "shone like
the clear sun rising out of Haleakala. "
Her flowing, curly hair, bound by
wreath of lehua blossoms, streamed
forth as she ran "like the surf crest3
scudding before the wind." And the
starry eyes of the beautiful daughter
of Uaua blinded the young warrior, so
that he was called Makakehau, or Misty .
Eyes.
The Hawaiian brave feared that the
comeliness of his dear captive would
cause her to be coveted by the chiefs
of the land. His soul yearned to keep
her all to himself. He said: "Let us
go to the clear waters of Kalulu. There
we will fish together for the kala and
the aku, and there I will spear the
turtle. I will hide you, my beloved.

The meles tell of their love in the
Pulou ravine, where theyr caught the
bright iiwi birds, and the scarlet apa
pani. Ah, what sweet ,iys in the ba
nana groves of Waiakeakua, where the
lowers saw naught so beautiful as them
selves! But the "misty eyes" were'
soo
soon to be made dim by weeping and
limmer. till the drowning brine should
d
close them forevermore.
Makakehau left his love one day in
the cave of Malauea while he went to
the mountain spring to fill the water
gourds with sweet water. This cavern
yawn's at the base of the overhanging
bluff that overtops the rock of Puupehe.
The sea surges far within, but there is
an inner space which the expert swim- J
mer can reach, and. where Puupehe had -
often rested and baked the honu, or
sea turtle, for her absent lover

0f tj,e Hawaiian Islands. Makakehau
beheld from the rock springs of Pulou
the vanguard of a great Kona scuds
of rain and thick mist, rushing with a
howling wind, across the vallev of Pa-
lawpi. He knew the storms would fill
the cave with the sea and kill his love.
He flung aside his cakibashes of wat?r
nnd ran 'down the steep, then across
the great valley and beyond its rim
he rushed, through the buft'etings of
the storm, with an agonized heart, down
the hill slope to the shore.
The sea was up indeed. The veasty
foam of mad surging waves whitened
the shore. Th thundering buffet of
the charging billows chorused with the
howl of the tempest. Ah! where should
Misty Eyes find his love in this blind
ing storm? A rushing mountain of sea
filled the mouth of Malaupa, and the
pent-un air hurled back the invading ; who beheld the sad scene secured the
torrents with bubbling roar, blowing mangled corpse and buried it with re
forth great streams of spray. This was spt'C-t iu the Kupapau of Manele.

j a war of matter, a battle of the
elements to thrill with pleasure the
hearts of strong men. But with one's
love in the seething gulf of the whirl
pool, what would be to him the sublime
cataract? What, to see amid the boil
ing foam the upturned face, and the
dear, tender body of one's own and
onlv poor dear love, all magled? You
might agonize on the brink ; but Maka-
I kehau sprang into the dreadful pool
and snatched his murdered bride from
; the jaws of an ocean grave
The next day, fishermen heard the
lamentation of Makakehau, and the
women of the valley came down and
wailed over Puupehe. They wrapped
her in bright new kapa. They placed
upon her garlands of the fragrant ama-u
(gardenia). They prepared her for
burial, and were about to place her in
the burial ground of Manele, but Maka
kehau prayed that he might be left
alone one night more with his lost
love. And he was left as he desired.
j The next day no corpse
hover were to be found, ti
nor weeping
till after some
search Makakehau was seen piling up
stones on the top of the lone sea tower.
The wondering people of Lanai looked
on from the neighboring bluff, and some
sailed around the columnar rock in their
canoes, still wondering, because they
could, see no way for him to ascend,
for every face of the rock is per-
pendicular or overhanging. The old be-
lief was, that some akua, Kanekoa. or
Keawemauhili (deities), came at the
cry of Makakehau and helped him with
the dead girl to the top,
When Makakehau had finished his
labors of placing his lost love in her
grave and placed the last stone upon it,
he stretehed out his arms and wailed
for Puupehe, thus:
"Where are you, O Puupehe?
Are you in the cave of Malauea?
Shall I bring you sweet water,
The water of the mountain?
Shall I bring you the uawau,
The pala, and the ohelo?
Are you baking the honu
And the red sweet hala?
Shall I pound theala of Maui?
Shall we dip in the gourd together?
The bird and the fish are bitter.
And the mountain water is sour,
I shall drink it no more;
T shall drink with Aipuhi,
The great shajk of Manele."
Ceasing "tiis sad wail, Makakehau
leaped from the rock into the boiling
surge at its base, where his body was
crushed in the breakers. The people
