A bundle containing things to worship a god was found at the Dillingham Bridge
[Oʻahu].
Here are the things inside of that hoʻomanamana bundle: a jug of Brandy, a young kava plant, waterworn stone, Piʻialiʻi taro, sugarcane, red earth, banana, young coconut, all wrapped up in red cloth.
Oh the multitude, the descendants of Waʻawaʻaikinaʻaupō (Ignoramus), put an end to this kind of pagan pursuits, seeing that our knowledge within the last 74 years has sufficed, listen to this.
