In the first skirmish the idolaters triumphed over the royal army sent against them, and full of confidence they resolved to march upon Kailua. The King sent an envoy to try and conciliate them, and came very near being an envoy short by the operation; the savages not only refused to listen to him, but wanted to kill him.
So the King sent his men forth under Major General Kalaimoku and the two host met a Kuamoo. The battle was long and fierce men and women fighting side by side, as was the custom and when the day was done the rebels were flying in every direction in hopeless panic, and idolatry and the tabu were dead in the land! The royalists marched gayly home to Kailua glorifying the new dispensation.
They listened for a few minutes and then drove through the pali tunnel, emerging high over Kaneohe Bay planes of pure light green, turquoise, dark blue. "Just another day in paradise," he said. "Kailua isn't paradise, exactly. I've got to stop a moment in town and then we'll go over to Kaneohe." "Sure." They wound down off the pali, and Joe waited while Mo accomplished her errand.
We broke off several pieces of the lava from about the spot, to take to our friends at home, and sent them on board the schooner. We were to accompany the missionary overland to Kailua, where the schooner was to meet us.
There was another man who loved it, even as I. I think he loved it more, for he was born here on the Kona coast. He was a great man, my best friend, my more than brother. But he left it, and he did not die." "Love?" I queried. "A woman?" Cudworth shook his head. "Nor will he ever come back, though his heart will be here until he dies." He paused and gazed down upon the beachlights of Kailua.
Pakaa was one of the favorites of Umi, and Lono was his kahuna. While Umi reigned over the eastern shores of the island, one of his cousins, Keliiokaloa, ruled the western coast, and held his court at Kailua.

It came on very dark and blowy; and as it was too late to make a harbour, we gave the shore a wide berth, and ran on. The next forenoon, when we made the land, we found that we were to the southward of Kailua. As we stood in, Mr Callard told us that on the shore of Karakakooa Bay, which was before us, Captain Cook met his death, and that he would show us the very spot where that event happened.
Liholiho came up to Kailua as drunk as a piper, and attended a great feast; the determined Queen spurred his drunken courage up to a reckless pitch, and then, while all the multitude stared in blank dismay, he moved deliberately forward and sat down with the women! They saw him eat from the same vessel with them, and were appalled!
By and by we took boat and went ashore at Kailua, designing to ride horseback through the pleasant orange and coffee region of Kona, and rejoin the vessel at a point some leagues distant. This journey is well worth taking.
