Metcalfe also once mistreated Kameeiamoku , a high chief on the island of Hawaii , and one of the sacred '' pio '' twins , by whipping him . The humiliated Kameeiamoku swore vengeance on the next ship to arrive . He attacked '' The Fair American '' at Kaūpūlehu , which was under the command of Metcalfe 's 18-year-old son , Thomas . Thomas and all of the '' Fair American ’s '' crew were killed , except for Isaac Davis , the sole survivor of the attack , who was tied to a canoe and left nearly dead . It is said that Davis 's life was spared because of his brave fighting . An alternative historical account that originated in a Hawaiian language newspaper in the early 20th century states that Kamehameha did not kill the crew of the '' Fair American ''
