The furnishing of food seems to spring from the feeling that the man who goes on the journey is the public servant of those who remain he is doing an unpleasant duty for his ato fellows. If this were carried one step further, if the rice were raised and paid for carrying on some regular function of the Igorot pueblo, it would be a true tax.
On the second day the men of ato Sigichan, in which ato Lumawig resided when he lived in Bontoc, prepare a bunch of runo as large around as a man's thigh. They call this the "cha-nug'," and store it away in the ato fawi, and outside the fawi set up in the earth twenty or more runo, called "pa-chi'-pad the pud-pud' of the harvest field.
"They are not for my arms, but why doesn't Ato wake up and claim her? Then there wouldn't be distractions like this " With one warning blare, The Nebula plunged into the fringe of the dust-cloud. The boat rocked. A spattering sound like the falling of heavy sleet filled the control room. Needles jumped and wheeled. Dials turned madly, spun back and forth, and jammed.
"But before you plunge into the night, remember that I watched you so I could get Maya back. You were not clever at all, Gunnar. Ato can have these worlds if he wants them. I have the ship and Maya. And space is mine to ravage as I please." Then, at last, while Maya watched with fear-struck eyes, the tube flashed once more. Gunnar and Odin stood there for a second.
It came back to Nea slowly almost defiantly and settled into her arms like a plump cat returning to a doting mistress. Nea pressed the button again and put it back into its case. "Wonderful," Ato applauded. "I move that we give Nea a vote of thanks." "But what earthly good is it?" Gunnar asked. "I could have swatted it with a broom." "And you would have died." Nea turned upon him like a tigress.
A strong man could hold the entrance for some time perhaps a long, long time. And Gunnar is strong. To get at you, Grim Hagen would either have to go down this stairway or take another entrance. These entrances, are few and far apart." "Go with Maya, Ato," Odin said, "and I will stay here with Gunnar." "No. The entrance is narrow. You would be in the way," Gunnar protested. "Now, go!
There used to be five trees: one was uprooted by a storm, and some Izumo poet wrote about the remaining four the words which my friend had sung: Seki no gohon matsu Ippun kirya, shihon; Ato wa kirarenu Miyoto matsu.
Ato, Gunnar, and Odin stood side by side and led the counter-attack that forced them back upon Grim Hagen's strange machine. But Hagen's men rallied and drove them back again almost to the stairway. "The next drive will get us," Ato groaned. "Brace yourselves, men." But the next drive did not come.
There is a formal way of breaking the peace between two pueblos: Should ato Somowan of Bontoc, for instance, wish to break her peace with Sakasakan she holds a ceremonial meeting, called "men-pa-kel'." In this meeting the old men freely speak their minds; and when all matters are settled a messenger departs for Sakasakan bearing a battle-ax or spear the customary token of war with all these Bontoc peoples.
Eh, Nors-King," he chuckled, "if you had but one eye, I would swear that you were old Odin himself, rushing out to the edge of space to start that last bonfire of suns." "Quiet," Nea pleaded as she worked with the calculator. "So far this has defied computation. It's unstable, Ato. Before I can identify it, a factor is added or taken away."
