Naihe died in November or December 29 , 1831 , after a stroke of paralysis forty-four hours before . Mrs. Lucy Thurston described Naihe as : " He was of commanding stature , and distinguished for refinement and polish of mind and manners . Such was his fluency and eloquence in speech that he was styled the national orator . ... As a magistrate he was as firm as he was affectionate , and in passing sentence upon offenders , the tears were often down his cheek seen chasing each other in quick succession down his cheeks . " Residents of the Kona district tell stories of '' Kai mimiki o Naihe '' , the " roiling sea of Naihe " , which was probably the tsunami after the 1868 Hawaii earthquake , or another about this time , which caused damage to the area
