“I have nothing more to bet; you have won all I had,” said Kaitsiki.
“Bet yourself,” said Hehku. “I will bet all I have won from you.”
Kaitsiki bet himself. He guessed south first, and lost.
“Oh, if I had only bet north!” said he. Next time he bet north, and lost.
“Oh, if I had said south!”
He went on in this way till he lost his ten counters and himself.
Hehku threw the finger-bone on the ground; the earth shook; there was a noise like thunder. The bone flew up, struck Kaitsiki, killed him. Miniau Marimi threw him out through the roof to the north of the sweat-house.
“I will play now,” said Ahalamila, sitting down in the place left by Kaitsiki. He guessed, lost, guessed on and played till he lost everything; bet himself, lost, was killed and thrown north of the sweat-house. Petaina played next, lost everything, was killed and thrown out. All in the sweat-house except Jupka played and lost, one after another, first all they had and then themselves. After Petaina came Matdasi, Tsurewa, Jihkulu, and then Tsanunewa, who remained at Jigulmatu.
Hehku danced with delight when Tsanunewa lost. She threw him out of the sweat-house herself, then played with others till none were left except Jupka.
Jupka rose up then and said: “Now we will try. I will guess once; that will finish the play and settle all.”
