Hawaiian Legends of Volcanoes (mythology), Destruction of Kamehameha’s Fish-ponds, sentence 63

It should be remembered that in recent years, when a lava flow came down on the city of Hilo, threatening its destruction, Princess Ruth, one of the last of the Kamehameha family, went from Honolulu to Hilo and up to the river of lava with the feeling that a Kamehameha who was under the especial protection of Pele could intercede for the welfare of the people.

Who acts: lava flow, Kamehameha, fire · What happens: remember, come down, threaten, go, be, intercede · To what, where: fire, city, destruction, Hilo, Honolulu, especial protection
