go and
get my clout, my belt which is sewed with gold, and my striped coat,
and also get my _ambosau_." [180] Aponibolinayen got them and Aponitolau
dressed up. As soon as he was dressed he took his shield, his headaxe,
and spear, and went. He struck the side of his shield, and it sounded
like one hundred people. While he was walking and striking his shield
in the middle of the way, Gimbagonan, the wife of Iwaginan, heard him,
when he was near to Pindayan. When he passed by the town he continued
toward the town of Giambolan. In a short time he arrived at the well
of Giambolan. He met the young girls who were dipping water from
the well. He killed all of them with his headaxe and spear. Not
long after he cut off their heads and he went up to the town and
directly to the house of Giambolan. When he arrived at the house, he
said, "Good morning, Giambolan. Go and get your shield, headaxe and
spear, and boar's tusk armlet for we are going to fight here in your
yard." Giambolan got his headaxe and spears for he wanted to fight. As
soon as he arrived where Aponitolau was he threw his spears at him and
Aponitolau soon got all the spears which he threw. Then he tried to cut
off Aponitolau's head, but Aponitolau got his headaxe and said to him,
"Now I am next, for you did not injure me at all," and Giambolan said,

went and cut off Giambolan's ten heads.
As soon as Aponitolau had killed Giambolan he again commanded his
spear and headaxe to cut off the heads of all the people in the houses
and the headaxe and spear went and Aponitolau sat by the town waiting
for them. As soon as the spear and headaxe had killed all the people
who lived in the town they went back to him and Aponitolau said, "You
heads of the people gather in one place, but you heads of Giambolan
and you heads of the women be separate from the others. You gather
by the house of Giambolan." Not long after all the heads gathered
and he said again, "You heads of Giambolango first, and you heads
of the men precede the women. As soon as you arrive in Kadalayapan
stop by the gate of the town. You house of Giambolango go directly
to my house in Kadalayapan. Go with the big storm." So the house
went. "You oranges of Giambolan come and follow us." So the oranges
followed them. He told them to go in front of his house. They went
