lu kijang. 
There, they — the Dayang 
Mendong—are arranging 
horn-shaped chignons 
that are like the pointed 
corners of a coarse fishing- 
net. 
“What was it that made 
that sound just now, 
friend Lebu Muji? If I 
were to call it the Wind 
Devil Srabandi it was not 
seen to rise from the misty 
horizon ! If I were to call 
it a Wind-Storm, friend 
Ensekut, it was not seen 
to disturb the cross¬ 
branches of the trees.” 
“What is it that makes 
that sound, friend En- 
teju? Is it the people at 
Pupu Luba Ditenctiang? 
Let us run away, friend 
Muji, and take with us 
the brass kettles that have 
their spouts projecting 
straight out; let us return 
home, friend Ensikok, and 
take with us the empty 
watergourds.” 
“When we went to bathe 
at the bathing place there 
is a mysterious n o is e 
there ; is it not the Spirit 
of the Temeran who se¬ 
cures and binds people ? 
When we went to bathe 
at the place where water 
is drawn there is a noise 
there also ; is it not the 
Spirit of the Wi rotan 
who securely binds peo¬ 
ple?” 
There, they spring into the 
air like the plandok deer 
and start off abruptly, 
after the manner of the 
kijang deer with their 
heads up.
