The paddling and splash¬ 
ing of water was without 
cessation to get home, 
and the hurry of paddling 
without resting, the dis¬ 
tance was hardly enough 
to wave with the last 
finger. 
The distance between the 
peoples' countries is hard¬

the chewed refuse of the 
Kedundang areca nut, is

The boat of those w h o 
died long ago had arrived 
at the shallow still water 
where fish hooks are be¬ 
ing let down. 
The ruan boat of the peo¬ 
ple at Hades arrived at 
the rapid where a batang 
fish trap is set; the little 
boat of these who died 
long ago had reached the 
mother of Adok and oth¬ 
ers who work sago flour : 
the little boat of Ruai 
Danan and others who 
died long ago had reached 
the mother of A n g g a n 
who prepares offerings.
