This section includes excerpts from “He Moʻolelo Pōkole” (abbreviated title*) written by James W. L. McGuire about the journey of Queen Consort Kapiʻolani (1834-1899) and her sister-in-law, Princess Liliʻuokalani (1838-1917), to England in the year 1887 for the 50th Jubilee celebrations honoring Queen Victoria (1819-1901). James McGuire played an important role in the journey of Kapiʻolani and Liliʻuokalani: he was their personal attendant.
The book was written originally without the macrons or glottal-stop markings that we commonly use today to help students of Hawaiian to pronounce the words correctly; I have therefore added them to these PDFs.
Note, however, that although the macrons and glottal-stops were not written on the page in the original book, they were of course pronounced when spoken or read!
- Chapter One: Ke Kono a Pelekāne
- Chapter Two: Ka Haʻalele ʻana iā Hawaiʻi
Eventually, much of McGuire’s excellent book will be up here in this area. Enjoy! Aloha and thanks to Mr. James McGuire for his wonderful words.

*The full name of McGuire’s 1938 publication is “He Moolelo Pokole o ka Huakaihele a ka Moiwahine Kapiolani i Enelani i ka Makahiki 1887 i ka Iubile o ka Moiwahine Vitoria o Beretania Nui” meaning “A short chronicle of the journey of Queen Kapiʻolani to England in the year 1887 for the jubilee of Queen Victoria of Great Britain.” Now you know why I used the abbreviated version above!
