It sinks in water. "The tadak very closely resembles the chandan. "The menjulong-ulong may be distinguished from the chandan and the tandok by its length and small breadth. Splinters, 36 inches long, have been found evidently from veins, not pockets. [382] "Sikat (bertabun champur kubal dan teras), fibrous, with slight lustre, will just float in water. Black and white streaks. "Sikat lampam--the same as sikat, only white streaks more prominent. "Bulu Rusa will float in water, fibrous, generally of a yellow colour. "Kemandangan floats in water, whitish, fibrous fragments small. "Wangkang floats in water, fibrous blocks whitish in colour. "The chandan tree differs from other gharu-trees in having a maximum diameter of about 1 1/2 feet, and very soft sap-wood. "Gharu varies in price between 200 and 50 dollars a pikul [383] according to the variety. The chandan and the tandok are the most valuable. "Chinese and Malays burn it in their houses on high days and festivals--the latter generally take a supply with them on the pilgrimage to Mecca. The better varieties are used in the manufacture of aromatic oils." [384] Before setting out to search for gharu, the gharu-wizard burns incense and repeats these words, "O Grandsire Duita, Divinity of Eagle-wood, if you are far, be so good as to say so; if you are near, be so good as to say so," and then sets out on his quest. On finding a karas-tree he chops the bark of the trunk lightly with his cutlass, and then puts his ear to the trunk to listen. If he hears a kind of low singing, or rather whispering noise (bunyi ting ting) in the tree, he takes this as a signification that the tree contains gharu (isi), [385] and after marking the bark with a cross (silang ampat) he collects wood to build a temporary shelter (pondong) for himself, and when about to plant the first post repeats the following charm:-- "O Grandsire Batara of the Earth, Earth-Genie, Earth-Spirit, Idol of Iron, Son of Wani, Solitary Wani, Son of Wayah, Bandan the Solitary, I ask you to show me (an eagle-wood tree), If you do not do so You shall be a rebel against God," etc. The result of this invocation is, or should be, that the gharu-spirit appears to the wizard (generally, no doubt, in a dream), and informs him what kind of sacrifice he requires on this particular occasion. Whatever kind of sacrifice is asked for, must of course be given, with the exception of a human sacrifice which, as it is expressly stated, may be compounded by the sacrifice of a fowl.
