Partial answer: the last of the four events from Gast and Conrad refers to the abolishment of the Kapu system. Burning heiaus (as opposed to foreigners' houses) has to have religious implications. Similarly, in 1779, after an ugly encounter during Cook's second visit, Hawaiians "burned the structures on the temple, perhaps to cleanse this sacred area."
