meat.

They made _sablau_ near the _bawi_ and put the coconut meat in it. When
they had done this, the man who was sick was as good as if he had not
been sick, he could walk just as before. This is the way the Tinguian
people learned to make _bawi_.

In the first times Kaboniyan told a sick man to go to the mango tree
at the edge of the village. "Take a feather for your hair, a clay
dish with oil, a headaxe, a spear, and a small jar of _basi_, when
you go to the tree." He did as he was bidden, and when he reached the
tree the _pinaing_ [340] were there. "Ala! now kill a small pig and
offer its blood mixed with rice. Oil the heads of the stones well,
and decorate them with yellow head bands. When you do this Apadel
will always guard the town." The man and his companion always did as
Kaboniyan said, and when they made _balaua_, or were sick, or went to
fight, they did this. They ate of the pig, they played the _gansas_
and danced. All who obeyed were always well, but one man who urinated
on the stones became crazy.

One day when the people were preparing to go and fight against Manabo,
[341] they went to the _pinaing_, and while they danced a red rooster
with long tail feathers came out of the stones and walked around
them. When they stopped dancing, he went again into the stones. Since
that time a white cock has sometimes appeared and once a white dog
came out while the people danced.

One night a man saw a woman, who wore a black cloth, walking near
the _pinaing_. When she would not speak to him, he cut her in the
thigh with his _bolo_. [343] She ran to the stones and vanished. Next
morning the man went to the guardian stones and found one of them
cut in the middle, as it is now. The man soon died of smallpox.

In the first times, the old men saw the stones traveling together
down the river. Above them flew many blackbirds. Then the people went
down to the river and watched the stones on their journey. After
that they caught them and put them near to the gate of the town,
where they still remain.

The evil spirit Ibwa once had a body like a man and used to visit the
people. In those days they kept the body of the dead person seven days,
and when the fat ran from the body they caught it and placed it in
the grave. [345] One day when he visited a funeral, a man gave Ibwa
some of this fat to drink. Since that time he has always been bad and
always tries to ea
