The two boys who had transgressed before looked up again, curious as to their surroundings. Suddenly the men with the spears roared at the boys to lower their heads. The boys laughed. Their fates were sealed. Out flashed the sacred gubberahs of these two old men.
The wirreenun who has charge of this is one of the most feared of wirreenuns; he is a great magician, who, with his wonder-working glassy stones, can conjure up visions of the old fleshly habitations of the captured Doowees. He has Gubberahs, or clever stones, in which are the active spirits of evil-working devils, as well as others to work good.
As the Munthdeeguns passed their totem-marked trees, or images, which would be those of the boys in their charge for each guardian was a relation of the same totem as his charge they would perform some magical feat, such as producing gubberahs, charcoal, gypsum, and so on, uttering as they did so a little chant about that totem. The boy's eyes are closed all this time and his head bent down.
'Dead is he, they cried, 'who laughs in the Bunbul where yungawee burns more fiercely than Yirangal, the sun, where near lies the image of Byamee: Byamee, father of all, whose laws the tribes are now obeying. Then the men chanted to the gubberahs and held them between the fires and the boys, the light of the flames seemed to play on them and stretch its beams to the boys, who began to tremble.
