nd make good their own escape. But they had left it too late. As they turned to descend the tree, the roof of the humpy fell on them. And all that remained when the fire ceased, were the charred bones of the dwellers in the yaraan tree. That was all that the blacks found of their enemies; but their legend says that Mullyan the eagle hawk lives in the sky as Mullyangah the morning star, on one side of which is a little star, which is his one arm; on the other a larger star, which is Moodai the opossum, his wife. 17. GOOMBLEGUBBON, BEEARGAH, AND OUYAN Goomblegubbon the bustard, his two wives, Beeargah the hawk, and Ouyan the curlew,.
