want stop, I go." He vvandered on and sat down to rest at Vävoi, vvhere no one lives, and 

 again at Rigimüba, which is also uninhabited. At last he arrived at Adiri. (Käku, Ipisia). 



42. At B(3igu Sido entered the stomach of a big „rockfish" which swam awaj' with 

 him inside, „all time foUow tide", at last reaching Wöibumüba or Adirimiiba, the point of Adiri, 

 The inhabitants of Adiri, two men called Adiri and Dirivo (ef. Index), were spearing fish when 

 the rockfish arrived. They speared it right between the eyes and took it on shore. After they 

 had eut it up, they dried the meat in the sun, as they had no fire. The intestines were opened 

 on the beaeh by a girl belonging to one of the men. On finding Sido she wanted to run away, 

 hut he called her back. „Very fine man here," she thought, and she washed his body in the 

 water. Sido asked her, „You one (alone) he stop?" and the girl said, „Oh, my two father he 

 stop there." „Where house?" „Oh, we got no house." „Where fire?" „We got no fire." 



Finding Sido with the girl, Adiri and Dirivo asked, „Where he come from that man?" 

 The girl answered, „He stop inside belly belong rockfish, that my man." The two fathers said, 

 „That's all right, you (your) man." (Menégi, Mawäta), 



A. Sido left Böigu in a canoe, and the spirits of his two mothers went with him, the one 

 standing up in the bow of the canoe and the other aft, all three were now real ghosts. After sonie 

 time Sido jumped into the water and was swallowed by a big rockfish which took him to Adiri. The 

 fish got stranded, and Sido came out of its mouth. (Nàmai, Mawåta). 



43. Adiri was inhabited by three men, Sopiima, .'\diri, and Dirivo, and one girl, Gögu, 

 who was Dirivo's daughter. They lived under the ground and ate fruit and earth. Hearing Sido's 

 footfall overhead they thought, „Who kick him ground, nobody here, that's all me three man?" 

 Sido heard their voiees: „Who man he talk, he talk all same man, I no look nobody, sandbeach, 

 thafs all." Again the three men wondered, „Who man he talk?"*" Thinking that somebody 

 was under the ground, Sido called out, „Who man he stop ground, more better he come up!" 

 All three men came up, saying „Who you that?" „I Sido, I come from every place." „What's 

 good you come?" „I come look." „You come sit down here." And the}' all sat down. Then 

 Gögu came up from under the ground, and Sido thought, „Oh, good girl that." Sido asked them, 

 „What name (kind of a thing) you kaikai?" and they brought various bad fruit and earth, which 

 they began to eat, except Sido who said, „No, my home he no savy that kaikai — that's kaikai 

 belong you fellow." They had no fire and no proper hous.\ 



Sido eut some posts and made a small house, he also lighted a fire hy taking out his 

 teeth and rubbing them against a pièce of wood. The three men said, „What name (what is it) 

 you make him?" and ran away frightened of the lire, but Sido said, „You no run away. That 

 fire. Man he eook him fish, any kaikai, he make him along lire. Man he got cold, he stay along 

 fire. In the evening he asked the men, „More better you give me that girl." One man consulted 

 the others- „What you fellow say, you me (we) give him?" and the others said, „More better 

 me give him." So they told the girl, „Gögu, you go alongside Sido." Sido lighted two fires in 

 the small house, one for the three men and one for himself and Gögu. During the night Sido 

 got up, and in order to find out whether the men were asleep or not pretended to wake them 

 up. But they did not stir, being sound asleep. Sido woke up Gögu and took her outside where
