Summary: the throne, a piece of bark-cloth, probably used for the expiation of sin, was taken, and twisted into the shape of a noose. This was placed round his neck, and the queen at the same time put a noose of similar material round her own neck, and they were then led to a valley into which the bodies of criminals were thrown to be devoured by hyenas, etc. Here the king got down to his knees and drank water froma rill. At this moment the queen cast herself down, and the cry “ You have remained, I have died\/’ was raised, and immediately two men stood upon him with poles and pressed him to death. His body was afterwards dis- posed of, but the queen’s body was left, as there being no kingly offspring her family determined to have her back. The three women who had attended her before the ceremony then took charge of the body and concealed it in a spot where the sun never penetrated. They then went and informed her fe- male connections of what they had done, and from Volunteers were once invited to search for her. From that very day the mother’s family dressed in old rags, and it was forbidden for them to use any further articles of clothing. The mother then arranged a plastic boat with two goats from herself to float upon the river, and invited the king to launch it. The king himself drew the twine instead of covering the goats on the obligation from the lowest to the loftiest. At that moment the king consummated with anointment by a certain dip of the shoulder, some times of the deep Inv- cut himself tying his waist-cloth.
