.... kualapa to Puueleele, a large hill covered with trees. The place called Kawahapele is on Kipahoehoe; Thence out of the woods to Ulupopoi, where Kipahoehoe is cut off by Honomalino; there are three ahus [page 202] there; two belonging to Honomalino and one to Kaapuna; This place is about as far mauka of the woods, as from here to the mauka Government road; Thence to Kilohana, an ahua with one ahu. Kau side of the koa grove called Ahinui. Ahinui is on Kaapuna; Thence to Nahuakanai, a big pile of stones about a mile from the mauka edge of the woods; thence towards Kona to Keanapakai, a cave where people sleep. In former years I have heard that this land ran mauka to a place called Humuula and that it was there cut off by Kahuku. Humuula is a lei at Hamakua. Kahuku does not quite reach there, but it bounds Kaapuna at Alanui o Umi.
Heard Kaapuna extends to the top of Mauna Loa. I do not know whether Keauhou extends to Mokuweoweo or not. Opihale bounds Kaapuna on the North side. Bounded from shore to woods by land sold to Kuhia. The mauka corner of Kuhia's land is at Keahupua, a little mauka of the Government road. Thence mauka to Keeieleele, a kihapai; the boundary is on the North side of it. Thence mauka through the woods to Keanapakai. I have heard that Opihale ends at the lower edge of the koa and from there Kukuiapai bounds Kaapuna. Bounded makai by the sea, fishing rights extending some distance out, and there cut off by Honomalino.
Cross-examined.
The birds on the pahoehoe above Keanapakai belong to Kahuku, and not to Keauhou. I used to go on the mountain with Kuluahi, Keakaikawai's Father. Kukuahi's brother and Kaanaoa. We used to go to Kukai, a cave on the road near the aa, belonging to Honaunau. I do not know much about bird rights.
Applicant states that he does not wish to claim land way outside of the woods, but only as far as the koa trees extend.
Case continued till further notice.
