CHAPTER XXXV
THE DEATH OF LOHIAU
Lohiau, in his last agony, wandered in mind and babbled of many things. To his credit, be it said that his thoughts were not wholly centered on himself. There was a margin of regard for others, as when he sang in these words:
Aloha na hale o makou i makamaka ole,
Ke ala hele mauka o Huli-wale la, e.
Huli wale; ke huli wale a’e nei no,
I ka makana ole, i ka mohai ole e ike aku ai,
E kanaenae aku ai la ho’i, ia oe, ia oe!
