Now the whole company rush towards the water, and thepater deposits the supposed devil on board the raft, on which thepalongs row off with the greatest possible expedition, dragging thecaptive out to sea, to a considerable distance, when, having turned himand his vehicle adrift, they row back with the utmost speed to shore. For two days the enemy may survive this rough usage, and again land insafety, if driven on shore by the tide or wind, but on the third day hemust die. Should he land at anot...her village, he then does the mischiefthere, which he was prevented doing at the former place. The worst consequence of such an unfortunate conclusion of the businessis, that the greatest enmity immediately takes place between the twovillages, and nothing can atone for the aggression, but a formalcombat. The village invaded sends a challenge to the former, and a dayis fixed for the battle. The captains of all the neighbouring villageshaving met to a consultation, the combatants are chosen, and as thereare others who wish to take advantage of so just a mode of settlingtheir disputes, they are summoned to appear.
