344 The Tinguian 



Another spirit, Andeles, quickly replaced lightning, and with Sopo 

 danced on the spirit raft, while the old men put dishes of water and 

 coins inside, and fastened a small live chicken to the roof. The people 

 then tried to induce the spirits to leave, but they refused. Suddenly 

 they were flung aside, and two strong men seized the raft and started 

 to run with it. Immediately the two spirits gave chase and fought 

 viciously all who tried to get in their way, but when, finally, their op- 

 ponents were joined by an old woman carrying a bundle of burning 

 rice straw and an old man beating a drum, they gave up the chase 

 and vanished. The party proceeded on to the Abra river, where they 

 waded out into deep water and set the raft afloat (Plate XXVI). 



That evening the guests danced da-eng, and the ceremony was over. 



Throughout the three days, the mediums had been constantly drink- 

 ing of basi, and while under the strain of the ceremony, they had not 

 appeared intoxicated, but at its conclusion both were hopelessly drunk. 

 The payment for the service was one half of the largest pig, unthreshed 

 rice, and about two pesos in money, which was given in exchange for 

 the beads which different spirits had demanded. 



Kalangan. — In Manabo and the villages of that vicinity a period 

 of about seven years elapses between the building of tangpap and the 

 celebration of Kalangan, but in most of the valley towns the latter 

 ceremony follows Pala-an after two or three years. 1 The ceremony 

 is so similar to the Tangpap just described that only the barest outline 

 will be given here. The chief difference in the two is the type of 

 structure built for the spirits. Kalangan has four supporting timbers 

 to which the flooring is lashed, and from which kingposts go to ridge 

 poles. A bamboo frame rests on this and, in turn, supports an over- 

 hanging grass roof (Plate XXIII). 



The procedure is as follows : Late in the afternoon, all the necessary 

 articles are brought to the house, then the mediums dance for a time 

 to the music of the tongatong. Basi is served to the guests, and for 

 an hour or more the spirits are summoned. Next morning the kalangan 

 is built, and two pigs are sacrificed beside it. Their blood mixed with 

 oil is offered to the spirits, and many acts, such as distributing the rice 

 into ten dishes and then replacing it in the original container, the 

 churning of sticks in the nose of a slaughtered animal and the like, 

 are performed. Spirits are summoned in the afternoon, and in the 

 evening da-eng is danced. On the third day new offerings are placed 



1 This is the case if a person is just 'acquiring the right to the ceremony. 

 If the family is already privileged to give this rite, it will occur in about three 

 years, and Sayang will follow some four years later.
