Note 59 — 56
Reading edition
They went to the spirit town, and she put him in the rice bin, and gave him something to eat. In the evening, the spirits came to eat the man. The man took some of the feathers and threw at them. The spirits were afraid of the feathers. They did this every night, and his wife brought him something to eat every day. The spirits said to the man's wife, “We smell Īpogau.”59 His wife said, “No Īpogau in here.” In about two weeks the feathers were nearly gone. Then his wife told him, “It is better for you to go home, because there are no more feathers. I will give you some rice for you to eat in the way. I will show you the road.” The man agreed, and they went in the way. She showed him the road. While the man was walking in the way he saw his town and he asked for his wife. They said his wife was dead and they had buried her under his house; then he made layog for his wife.
