kiba, enda bulih sa- 
penampai mata me- 
da. Nyau datai di 
menoa raja Mandai 
ti belalai nulis surat; 
nyau dipansa ka saja 
menoa raja Jegedong 
ti belindong ngum- 
pul umat; nyau be- 
di r i d i penyurai 
punggang penyam- 
bang, diri d i p a 1 a 
tangga digaga na-

280— “Apu unggal, datai 
ari ni kita, pala luan 
kita nancham ka Sa- 
bavan didabang?” 
281— “Kami datai ngambi 
orang ti tekesai baka 
lantai mekang sa bi- 
dang. Udah n g a r a 
orang ti nvara baka 
pelaga betetak b a - 
tang. 
Dipansa ka saja kaki 
tangga kita nengah 
jalai pengelimpang. 
Kami klaong ka saja 
menoa raja Jegedong 
ti belindong ngumpul 
umat. 
Dipansa ka saja me¬ 
noa nuan raja Mang- 
gai ti belalai nulis 
surat.” 
282— Sengayoh serta la boh 
s i n t a k belap-belap, 
kavoh kesai sitak be- 
guai baka penerbai 
empong kasindap. 
283— Prauh bala m a i o h

They have at last arrived 
at the country of the king 
of Mandai who hides 
when he does any writing ; 
they passed the country 
of king Jegedong, who 
under cover collects 
welded iron ; they stood 
at the further end of 
t h e covered verandah, 
they stood at the head of 
the stair-case so closely 
notched. 
“Halloa friends, whence 
came ye, the bow of your 
boat is pointing towards 
the great Hades ?” 
“We have come from fetch¬ 
ing a person that was cast 
off like the incomplete 
lantai of a boat. We have 
arrayed the people that 
had been dispersed like 
pelaga unstrung beads. 
“We merely passed your 
stair-case and use the road 
that avoids your house. 
“We avoided the country 
of king Jegedong who 
under cover collects the 
welded iron. 
“We merely pass your coun¬ 
try, king Manggai, you, 
who hide yourself when 
writing.” 
The paddles dipped toge¬ 
ther and glistened, the 
splashing paddling was 
hurried like the flying of 
the patron saint of the 
bat. 
The people in the boat be¬ 
gan to hear the sound of 
the M and oh waterfall 
ever so loud. Resak Bara 
began to hear the sound 
of the Lansa waterfall 
exceeding loud.
