Testimony
Kanaeholo, kane, sworn, I was born at Hilo paliku and came here when I was very young. I am a kamaaina of Pahoehoe and heard the boundaries from old kamaaina.
Paukaa bounds Pahoehoe on the Puna side; Kaleiike gulch is the boundary at seashore between the two lands.
Thence up the kahawai and awaawa to the Hilo side of Pahoehoe Church; thence to Poauwai gulch and up the gulch to Kawahamo. This place is above the mauka end of the gulch, thence to Puuhinahina; thence to Mananui, thence to Poapuaa, where Pahoehoe and Paukaa roads unite. Thence up to Luaa, the last of the old kulana kauhale on Pahoehoe. Pahoehoe extends to [page 183] Aipala, makai of Puuaua, where Paukaa and Papaikou unite and cut off Pahoehoe. Puuaua is a hill on Paukaa. I was very young when I came to Pahoehoe, used to go after birds and olona. The boundary follows the old road from Luaa to Waika ana (water head); thence up the gulch and awaawa and up the kualapa to Puaike gulch, crosses the gulch and runs up a trail to Kalaauhaka; thence the boundary runs across Kupamanoa gulch and thence to Nahuina, where the trail meets. Thence to Kaholoina, to Pihakunui and Pihakuike; thence to Painaole; thence to Wahinehoano and thence to Aipala at the mauka end.
From Aipala to the seashore, on the Hamakua side, the land of Pahoehoe is bounded by Pahoehoe gulch from Aipala to Wailimo; the boundary runs along the land of Papaikou and from Wailimo to the seashore along the land of Pueopaku. The Hamakua pali is Pueopaku, the land above is Piihana[?].
