peopled. They married, and called their
first son Sibo; then a daughter was born to them, and they gave
her the name of Samar. This brother and sister also had a daughter,
called Lupluban. She married Pandaguan, a son of the first pair, and
had a son called Anoranor. Pandaguan was the first to invent a net
for fishing at sea; and, the first time when he used it, he caught
a shark and brought it on shore, thinking that it would not die. But
the shark died when brought ashore; and Pandaguan, when he saw this,
began to mourn and weep over it--complaining against the gods for
having allowed the shark to die, when no one had died before that
time. It is said that the god Captan, on hearing this, sent the flies
to ascertain who the dead one was; but, as the flies did not dare to
go, Captan sent the weevil, who brought back the news of the shark's
death. The god Captan was displeased at these obsequies to a fish. He
and Maguayen made a thunderbolt, with which they killed Pandaguan; he
remained thirty days in the infernal regions, at the end of which time
the gods took pity upon him, brought him back to life, and returned
him to the world. While Pandaguan was dead, his wife Lubluban became
the concubine of a man called Maracoyrun; and these people say that
at that time concubinage began in the world. When Pandaguan returned,
he did not find his wife at home, because she had been invited by her
friend to feast upon a pig that he had stolen; and the natives say
that this was the first theft committed in the world. Pandaguan sent
his son for Lubluban, but she refused to go home, saying that the dead
do not return to the world. At this answer Pandaguan became angry,
and returned to the infernal regions. The people believe that, if his
wife had obeyed his summons, and he had not gone back at that time,
all the dead would return to life. [_Blank space in MS_.] Inheritances,

_Another belief, that of the mountaineers, who are called Tinguianes_

The Tinguianes believe that in the beginning were only the sea and
the sky; and that one day a kite, having no place where to alight,
determined to set the sea against the sky. Accordingly, the sea
declared war against the sky, and threw her waters upward. The sky,
seeing this, made a treaty of peace with the sea. Afterward, to
avenge himself upon her for having dared to assert herself, they say
that he showered upon the sea all the i
