deck very angry. ‘Who summoned you hither?” said he to 
the Princess, ‘Begone at once, for I have no wish to see your 
face. Your presence brings shame and disgrace on me in the 
eyes of respectable people.” The Princess burst imtomteans, 
and devoting herself, in her anger, as a prey to all the sharks 
of the sea she jumped overboard and disappeared. CHE 
ALANG dashed in after her, but his search was ineffectual and 
after a day and a night he returned to Raja AMBONG. Then 
both of them started together on a fresh search of the unfor- 
tunate Princess, the vessel following them as they went from 
bay to islet and from islet to reef. At last, after aweek, they 
found the body of the unfortunate Princess, quite dead, 
caught in a cleft between two rocks. CHE ALANG bore it 
tenderly to the vessel, where her brother spread mats and car- 
pets and laid it out. Then Raja AMBONG burned incense

as the first drops fell on the dead Princess, she gave signs of 
life by the twitching of the great toe, at the second sprinkle 
she moved her hands, and on being sprinkled the third time, 
she sat up and sneezed and looked round her. 
The men of the party were quite exhausted by this time, and 
took some rest, leaving the navigation of the boat to the 
Princess, who put on male attire and took charge for the next 
seven days and nights. On the eighth day, she sighted a fleet 
of a hundred sail, of which one was a very large vessel. She 
immediately awakened the Raja and CHE ALANG, and the lat- 
ter, not being satisfied with the aspect of things, went to call 
the crooked carpenter, who was asleep in the forecastle. He
