Testimony

N. Keau, sworn, (same witness as in Waikoekoe) I have lived here for over fifty years, and the boundaries of Waipio are well known to me. Lalakea, an ili of Waipio bounds it on the Hilo side. I have had charge of Lalakea and have leased it for over ten years, and when I leased it I went and saw the boundary between it and Waipio. The mouth of the river is the boundary at shore between Waipio and Lalakea; thence up the wall between Lalakea and the stream and thence up the stream to makai of G.W.D. Halemanu's house; there turn and run up the pali, called Pueohuhunui. [page 112]
Note
The old boundary that runs up the pali is mauka of Halemanu's house, the boundary surveyed is makai.
The place at the foot of the pali is called Waimihi.

Note
Keau points out the ridge as running up above A.S. Cleghorn's store.

Thence along the brow of the pali till you come to a place called Poolakiki, there is a rock there on the pali called Hakalaoa, an old stone god. The boundary has left the top of the pali and come along on the side to this place; thence to the foot of Hiilawe falls; thence along the foot of the pali to an auwai; thence up the auwai to a stream of water (the patch called Haha is on Lalakea) thence up the stream to Kukauloa, a patch where I used to plant food; there the boundary of Lalakea turns into the pali again along the loi, and along the base of the pali to the land of Ohia; thence to the middle of the pali to a place called Apailolo, a road which used to run out to the head of the valley. This is the mauka corner of the land (This is established by Certificate of Boundaries of Waimea, asthe corner called Kilohana of Waipio and Lalakea). Kilohana is a resting place at the mauka end of the pali.
Cross-examined
I do not know the mauka boundaries of Waipio or what lands cut if off on the mauka end.

Paaoao, kane, sworn, I was born in Waipio Hamakua at the time of Peleleu. I havealways lived here and know the boundaries.

Kamehameha I told me the boundaries.
