The people of Umi's suite matched themselves with those of Hakau in the combat with the long lance _( pololu)_, and the party of Umi was always victorious, compelling Hakau to retire in confusion.
Liloa, perceiving that his last hour was drawing near, called his two children to him, and said to them, "You, Hakau, will be chief, and you, Umi, will be his man." This last expression is equivalent to viceroy or prime minister.

The two brothers bowed, in token of assent, and the old chief continued: "Do you, Hakau, respect your man; and do you, Umi, respect your sovereign.

If you, Hakau, have no consideration for your man, if you quarrel with him, I am not disturbed at the results of your conduct.

In the same way, Umi, unless you render your sovereign the homage you owe him, if you rebel against him, it will be for you two to decide your lot." Soon after, having made known his last wishes, Liloa gave up the ghost.
Umi, who was of a proud and independent character, foreseeing, no doubt, even then, the wicked conduct of his brother, would not submit to him, and refused to appear in his presence.
