      by foreigners who knew his worth�察�that constitutes the firmest
      pillar of the throne of his dynasty。

      ;In lieu of human victims ��the custom of that age���察�a sacrifice of
      three hundred dogs attended his obsequiesno mean holocaust when
      their national value and the estimation in which they were held are
      considered。  The bones of Kamehameha�察�after being kept for a while��
      were so carefully concealed that all knowledge of their final
      resting place is now lost。  There was a proverb current among the
      common people that the bones of a cruel King could not be hid�察�they
      made fish´hooks and arrows of them�察�upon which�察�in using them�察�they
      vented their abhorrence of his memory in bitter execrations。;

The account of the circumstances of his death�察�as written by the native
historians�察�is full of minute detail�察�but there is scarcely a line of it
which does not mention or illustrate some by´gone custom of the country。
In this respect it is the most comprehensive document I have yet met
with。  I will quote it entire��

      ;When Kamehameha was dangerously sick�察�and the priests were unable
      to cure him�察�they said�此�'Be of good courage and build a house for
      the god' ��his own private god or idol���察�that thou mayest recover。'
      The chiefs corroborated this advice of the priests�察�and a place of
      worship was prepared for Kukailimoku�察�and consecrated in the
      evening。  They proposed also to the King�察�with a view to prolong his
      life�察�that human victims should be sacrificed to his deity�察�upon
      which the greater part of the people absconded through fear of
      death�察�and concealed themselves in hiding places till the tabu ��Tabu
      ��pronounced tah´boo�撮� means prohibition ��we have borrowed it�撮� or
      sacred。  The tabu was sometimes permanent�察�sometimes temporary�察�and
      the person or thing placed under tabu was for the time being sacred
      to the purpose for which it was set apart。  In the above case the
      victims selected under the tabu would be sacred to the sacrifice��
      in which destruction impended�察�was past。  It is doubtful whether
      Kamehameha approved of the plan of the chiefs and priests to
      sacrifice men�察�as he was known to say�察�'The men are sacred for the
      King��' meaning that they were for the service of his successor。
      This information was derived from Liholiho�察�his son。

      ;After this�察�his sickness increased to such a degree that he had not
      strength to turn himself in his bed。  When another season��
      consecrated for worship at the new temple ��heiau�� arrived�察�he said
      to his son�察�Liholiho�察�'Go thou and make supplication to thy god�察�I
      am not able to go�察�and will offer my prayers at home。'  When his
      devotions to his feathered god�察�Kukailimoku�察�were concluded�察�a
      certain religiously disposed individual�察�who had a bird god��
      suggested to the King that through its influence his sickness might
      be removed。  The name of this god was Pua�察�its body was made of a
      bird�察�now eaten by the Hawaiians�察�and called in their language alae。
      Kamehameha was willing that a trial should be made�察�and two houses
      were constructed to facilitate the experiment�察�but while dwelling in
      them he became so very weak as not to receive food。  After lying
      there three days�察�his wives�察�children and chiefs�察�perceiving that he
      was very low�察�returned him to his own house。  In the evening he was
      carried to the eating house�察 �where he took a little food in his
      mouth which he did not swallow�察�also a cup of water。  The chiefs
      requested him to give them his counsel�察�but he made no reply�察�and
      was carried back to the dwelling house�察�but when near midnightten
      o'clock�察�perhapshe was carried again to the place to eat�察�but�察�as
      before�察�he merely tasted of what was presented to him。  Then
      Kaikioewa addressed him thus�此�'Here we all are�察�your younger
      brethren�察�your son Liholiho and your foreigner�察�impart to us your
      dying charge�察�that Liholiho and Kaahumanu may hear。' Then Kamehameha
      inquired�察�'What do you say��' Kaikioewa repeated�察�'Your counsels for
      us。'

      ;He then said�察�'Move on in my good way and。' He could proceed no
      further。  The foreigner�察�Mr。 Young�察�embraced and kissed him。
      Hoapili also embraced him�察�whispering something in his ear�察�after
      which he was taken back to the house。  About twelve he was carried
      once more to the house for eating�察�into which his head entered��
      while his body was in the dwelling house immediately adjoining。  It
      should be remarked that this frequent carrying of a sick chief from
      one house to another resulted from the tabu system�察�then in force。
      There were at that time six houses ��huts�� connected with an
      establishmentone was for worship�察�one for the men to eat in�察�an
      eating house for the women�察�a house to sleep in�察�a house in which to
      manufacture kapa ��native cloth�� and one where�察�at certain intervals��
      the women might dwell in seclusion。

      ;The sick was once more taken to his house�察�when he expired�察�this
      was at two o'clock�察�a circumstance from which Leleiohoku derived his
      name。  As he breathed his last�察�Kalaimoku came to the eating house
      to order those in it to go out。  There were two aged persons thus
      directed to depart�察�one went�察�the other remained on account of love
      to the King�察�by whom he had formerly been kindly sustained。  The
      children also were sent away。  Then Kalaimoku came to the house�察�and
      the chiefs had a consultation。  One of them spoke thus�此�'This is my
      thoughtwe will eat him raw。 ��This sounds suspicious�察�in view of
      the fact that all Sandwich Island historians�察�white and black��
      protest that cannibalism never existed in the islands。  However��
      since they only proposed to ;eat him raw; we ;won't count that;。
      But it would certainly have been cannibalism if they had cooked
      him。M。  T。�А �Kaahumanu ��one of the dead King's widows�� replied��
      'Perhaps his body is not at our disposal�察�that is more properly with
      his successor。  Our part in himhis breathhas departed�察�his
      remains will be disposed of by Liholiho。'

      ;After this conversation the body was taken into the consecrated
      house for the performance of the proper rites by the priest and the
      new King。  The name of this ceremony is uko�察�and when the sacred hog
      was baked the priest offered it to the dead body�察�and it became a
      god�察�the King at the same time repeating the customary prayers。

      ;Then the priest�察�addressing himself to the King and chiefs�察�said��
      'I will now make known to you the rules to be observed respecting
      persons to be sacrificed on the burial of this body。  If you obtain
      one man before the corpse is removed�察�one will be sufficient�察�but
      after it leaves this house four will be required。  If delayed until
      we carry the corpse to the grave there must be ten�察�but after it is
      deposited in the grave there must be fifteen。  To´morrow morning
      there will be a tabu�察�and�察�if the sacrifice be delayed until that
      time�察�forty men must die。'

      ;Then the high priest�察�Hewahewa�察�inquired of the chiefs�察�'Where
      shall be the residence of King Liholiho��'  They replied�察�'Where��
      indeed�拭 �You�察�of all men�察�ought to know。'  Then the priest observed��
      'There are two suitable places�察�one is Kau�察�the other is Kohala。'
      The chiefs preferred the latter�察�as it was more thickly inhabited。
      The priest added�察�'These are proper places for the King's residence��
      but he must not remain in Kona�察�for it is polluted。'  This was
      agreed to。  It was now break of day。  As he was being carried to the
      place of burial the people perceived that their King was dead�察�and
      they wailed。  When the corpse was removed from the house to the
      tomb�察�a distance of one chain�察�the procession was met by a certain
      man who was ardently attached to the deceased。
