It is plainly seen that this blow-hole has been closed by human hands. There still remains a little opening through which the water hisses to the height of thirty or forty feet. Kaleikini closed at Kohala, on the shore of Nailima, a volcanic mouth like that of Ka'u. On the heights of Honokane, he silenced the thunders of a water-fall by changing its course.
The water leaped to a prodigious height, disappeared in the form of fine rain, and fell in vapor over a circuit of two leagues, spreading sterility over the land to such an extent that neither kalo nor sweet-potatoes could be grown there. The chief Kaleikini closed the mouth of the gulf by means of enormous stones, which he made the natives roll thither.
