poured water over them "so as to cause an abundance of rain." Another
difference is noticed following the death of a warrior. His knife lies
in its sheath beside the body for seven days and during that time can
only be drawn if it is to be used in sacrificing a slave. If such an
offering is made it is carried out in much the same way as the Bagobo
sacrifice, except that the bereaved father, son, or brother cuts the
body in halves.

If it is impossible to offer a slave, a palm leaf cup is filled with
water and is carried to the forest. Here the relatives dance and then
dip the knife and some sticks in the water for "this is the same as
dipping them in blood." Later they are carried back and hung up in the
house of mourning.

According to the long established custom, warriors must go to fight once
each year, when the moon is bright. Spears, fighting knives, bows and
arrows, sharpened bamboo sticks, and shields have long been used, and to
these several guns have been added in recent years.

The attack is from ambush and the victims are generally cut to pieces,
although women and children are sometimes taken captive. Tufts of hair
taken from the slain are attached to the shields of the warriors, and an
arm is carried back to the home town "so that the women and children can
cut it to pieces and become brave."

The foregoing account shows that the Kagan and Tagakaolo living on the
hemp plantations differ very little from their neighbors, whom we have
previously described. It may be that an investigation, carried on in
peaceful times, far back in the mountains, will show that more radical
differences exist in the great body of the tribe.
