Cross-examined.

Note: The above witness is rather a hard one to get testimony from, He is unable to identify the mauka boundary of his land, and as he has given the boundaries of Keopu adjoining his land, from the makai side.
Note 2. Where the boundaries follow along Royal Patents evidence is not taken.

[page 304]
Kapea, kane, sworn, I was born at Kawaihae, Kohala, Hawaii at the time of Mailikini; have lived here ever since I was small, and know a part of the boundaries. Kuakini pointed out the boundaries to us as we were his Kahu. Keopu ends at Puupaihe, a kuaahu kalaiwaa, on the old road to Koleapaio, thence the boundary runs makai along Honuaula to Waiahale punawai, a spring below the wall.

From Puupaihe to Kaaikala mauka corner of Keopu where Lanihau cuts it off at an old mahina ai of Governor Adams; thence turn makai along Keopu 2nd to Luluka, a cave on land sold, said cave is in the fern. Hanaio is mauka of Luluka, an awaawa corner of land sold.
