The record — long form
Puu o Mahuka is the '1600s — the 'largest Oahu' that's the 2 acres, the 'hill of escape' that's the name. The '3 enclosures' is the walls — the 'Ka'opulupulu' that's the priest, the 'Kahahana' that's the chief. The 'Vancouver' is the '92 — the '3 men' that's the killed, the 'sacrificed' that's the suggested.
The 'signal fires' is the Kauai — the 'Wailua' that's the ties, the '1795' that's the Kamehameha. The '1819' is the abandoned — the 'kapu' that's the abolished, the 'NHL' that's the '62. Puu o Mahuka is the overlook — the '300 feet' that's the Waimea, the 'commanding' that's the view.
