Simon Metcalfe runs into more trouble on the coast of Maui when a boat and sailor go missing.

It is discovered that the boat had been stolen and the sailor killed.

Metcalfe fires his cannons into the village, and captures a few Hawaiians who tell him the boat was taken by people from the village of Olowalu.

His punishment in this case becomes known as the Olowalu Massacre.

He sails to the village of the suspected thieves but find that the boat has been broken up for its nails, which are treasured like gems, being that the Hawaiians lack metal-smelting technology.

Feigning peaceful intent, Metcalfe invites the villagers to the Eleanora for trade.

Many canoes gather at the ship.

Metcalfe directs them to come to one side, where he has loaded his cannon with ball and shot.

He orders a broadside fired at point-blank range, which blasts the vessels to pieces.

About one hundred Hawaiians are killed and several hundred wounded.

Because Hawaiians consider Olowalu a pu'u honua, or place of refuge, this attack has profound and long-lasting consequences, ultimately undermining the site's cultural stability.

After the massacre, Metcalfe weighs anchor and sails back to the island of Hawai'i.
