lent fpirlt :) the rejfl are called E/us ;;z^/^rj (benevolent fpirlts.) 



Morogrog, an evil fpirlt, expelled from heaven, brought fire firft 



upon 



earth. Lugueiling, the fon of Eliulep, married two vv^ives, 



- 



one of celeftial origin, who brought him two children, Carrer and 

 Meliliau ; the other of terreftrial origin, born at Fala/u, in the pro- 

 vince of Huogoleu, by whom he had a fon, called Oclefat -, this 

 young man, upon hearing that his father was a celeftial fpirit, at- 

 tempted to mount to heaven, but fell down and wept : hereupon 



w 



he kindled a great fire, and went up in the fmoke to his ccleftial 



I 



father, whom he embraced. In the ifle of Falalu is a pond of frefh 

 water, which the natives fear to approach, becaufd they fuppofe the 



i 



Gods bathe in it. The fun, the moon, and the flars, have, ac- 

 cording to the opinion of thele people, rational fouls, and are in 



habited by numerous celeftial nations. Thefe iflanders have nei- 

 ther temples, nor carved or any other images ; and they never think 



it neceiTary to make any offerings or facrifices, except a few of them, 



who feem to worfhip their deceafed friends- At the illand of Tap 



I 



or Panlog, the inhabitants worfhip a crocodile 5 obferve incanta- 

 tions making knots of palm-leaves. And to the Eaft of the five 

 clufters of ifles, called Carolines, there are many more illands, ef- 



pecially that of FaJupet, the inhabitants of which worlliip the fhark.
