The neck of this idol was of gold, and she gave it to her son, the priest. When he saw that the neck was of gold, he coveted the valuable metal and engaged a workman to peel it off; but no sooner had the workman begim his sacrilegious work than he dropped dead. Soon after this the mother came in her wanderings to Poot'oo. When the priestly son saw her he hegan to curse and said, "The one who injured me has come, ' ' and he dealt her a slap with the hand. After rushing over the hills in his madn...ess he cut his throat, but before dying he said to his colleagues, "Follow not my example, for if you do, you will come to the world of misery." Four years after this, on the tenth month, the priests of the island had an altercation which they could not settle among themselves. So the case was submitted to the magis- trate at Tingliai. When he came to the island to settle their trouble, liis faith in Buddhism and the pretensions of the IDriests was thoroughly shaken, and he took a set of the stand- ard Classics of the Lotus School and burned them and made the priests walk over the ashes.
