mor. "What are you so noisy about, you women who
are like me?" said Aponibolinayen. "You ask why we are noisy? Because
there are many women, who have come to fight against you, at the place
where the spring is," they said, and Aponibolinayen hurried to take her
spear. "What are you so noisy for, women like Aponibolinayen?" asked
her father Pagatipanan. "What are we noisy about, you ask? Because
there are many of my enemies at the spring." "Do not go Aponibolinayen,
for I will go." "No for you are weak. What can you do now? Once you did
kill people in the place where the spring is, and now perhaps it is my
fortune," she said, and she went to the spring. She looked down and
truly the enemies looked like many locusts about the spring. "Ala,"
said Ginambo of Gonigonan, "You people who live with me, you are
anxious to carry away this woman whom we do not like." "Yes," they
answered, "but only our names will go back to the towns we came from,"
i.e. they expected to be killed. Ginambo answered, "No, we are anxious
to capture her without fail."

Aponibolinayen said, "You old enemy take this betel-nut," and she cut
it in two and gave it to them. "How are we sure Ginambo of Gonigonan
that only our names will not go back, we are afraid." Ginambo said,
"Do not be afraid, but hurry to be brave." "Ala, now do what you can,"
shouted Aponibolinayen who stood on a high rock. When they started
toward Aponibolinayen their spears looked like rain they were so
many. She glanced off the spears with both elbows. "Now I am the
next to throw my spears," said Aponibolinayen. "Yes, because all our
weapons are gone," they said.

Aponibolinayen was next, she said, "I will use my magic, and you,
my spear, shall kill six and seven at one time, and you, my headaxe,
cut off their heads from the left side and from the right side, and in
back and in front." "Ala, you spare me so that I may tell the people
in Gonigonan where I live," said Ginambo. "Yes, but next month I will
come to your town Gonigonan to fight," said Aponibolinayen.

Ginambo went home alone to her town. "Why are you alone?" asked the
people who lived in the same town when she arrived. "What can we do,
all my companions who went to fight are lost, because they did not
throw their spears at Aponibolinayen." "That is what we told you
Ginambo of Gonigonan when you started, but you did not heed, you know
that the people of Kaodanan are powerful like Kaboniyan." [165]

Soon after that Gina
