"Borne by the current. Bodies and drift from various directions are brought by the currents & thrown up by the sea at a place of this name." (Alexander) "Two places here were called Ka-milo-pae-aliʻi (Ka-milo landing [of] chiefs) and Ka-milo-pae-kanaka (Ka-milo landing [of] commoners). Drowned commoners washed in at the latter, chiefs at the former. Kaʻū people traveling to Puna cast leis tied with loincloths and pandanus clusters into the sea at Puna; when the leis drifted back to Ka-milo, the Kaʻū people knew that the travelers had reached Puna." (PEM)
