After lying there three days, his wives, children and chiefs, perceiving that he was very low, returned him to his own house.

In the evening he was carried to the eating house, where he took a little food in his mouth which he did not swallow; also a cup of water.

The chiefs requested him to give them his counsel; but he made no reply, and was carried back to the dwelling house; but when near midnight--ten o'clock, perhaps--he was carried again to the place to eat; but, as before, he merely tasted of what was presented to him.

Then Kaikioewa addressed him thus: 'Here we all are, your younger brethren, your son Liholiho and your foreigner; impart to us your dying charge, that Liholiho and Kaahumanu may hear.' Then Kamehameha inquired, 'What do you say ?' Kaikioewa repeated, 'Your counsels for us.' "He then said, 'Move on in my good way and--.' He could proceed no further.

The foreigner, Mr.Young, embraced and kissed him.
Hoapili also embraced him, whispering something in his ear, after which he was taken back to the house.
