text: Early in the afternoon we went into the village again. The young men and boys of the Angban are just then dancing in front of their morung, slowly walking around in a circle, but after a while (77) they interrupted the dance and withdrew to their morung, as then men of the Thepong were coming from the direction of the Balang in a long procession and carrying on a solemn chant
