THE DISPATCHING OF THE SOULS OF THINGS TO THE SOULS OF THE DEAD.

No sooner did they come into the village of our fathers than they began

turning over the things from which the people had fled, and casting

them down where the Sálamopia stamped them into the earth or otherwise

destroyed them that their likes might go the way of the dead for the

dead and the Kâ´kâ. And when the people saw this, they brought forth

vessels and baskets and other things without stint, all of which, as

though all were chimneys, the Twain Ánahoho took up, and peering into

them lifted their faces and cried their dreary mournful cry, casting

these things straightway to the ground. Thus to this day they follow

their brother, seeking ever, finding never, sending after their brother

the souls of men's possessions that all may be well in the after time,

in the after time of each age of man.
