Text Appearing Before Image:
run away from the king whenthey were at Oahu, and had almost reached Kauai beforeshe was overtaken and brought back. Kamehameha resided on the island of Hawaii sixyears (1796-1802). He occupied himself in buildinga famous fleet of wide and deep canoes, which hedestined for a future invasion of Kauai. Several small,decked vessels were also built under the supervision ofa white man, James Boyd. Some foreigners built forthe king a two-story brick house at Lahaina, on theisland of Maui. It stood for seventy years. In 1801 a terrible eruption took place on Hawaii.The lava flowed down the mountain and destroyedvillages and plantations. Sacrifices were offered tothe fire goddess, Pele, in great abundance ; but no effectwas produced on the angry deity, until Kamehamehacut off his own hair, a very sacred offering, and threwit into the flowing stream of lava. It was said that, aday or two after that precious sacrifice, the destructivetorrent was stayed in its course. 148 HAWAII AND ITS PEOPLE.
Text Appearing After Image:
WHAT THE VICTOR DID FOR THE VANQUISHED. 149 In 1802, Liholiho, the heir of the conqueror, was pro-claimed heir apparent, and was carried — being fiveyears old — to the temple to take part in the sacred rites. Great must have been the astonishment and delightof the natives when Captain Cleveland, on his wayfrom California to China, touched at the islands inMay, 1803, and landed the first horses ever seen inHawaii. He gave a horse and a mare to Kamehameha,and a mare and a foal to John Young. In spite ofhis age, the old king became a good horseman, andthe natives, men and women, taking to riding as theytook to surf swimming, became expert and fearlessriders. To this day they excel in breaking and rid-ing horses, many fine animals and some thoroughbredsbeing owned in all the islands. Kamehameha did not leave the management of hisnew kingdom, especially the collection of taxes, to hissubordinate chiefs. He was too wise a monarch andknew the character of the Hawaiians too well to dothat
