Another very curious form of this ceremony of "casting out devils" was described to me by a Kelantan Malay. It is worked on the substitute or "scapegoat" principle (tukar ganti), and the idea is to make little dough images of all kinds of birds, beasts, fishes, and even inanimate objects (a few of the former being fowls, ducks, horses, apes, buffaloes, bullocks, wild cattle (seladang), deer, mouse-deer, and elephants, besides those enumerated in the charm itself, whilst exceptions are to be the "unlucky" animals (benatang sial) such as cats, tigers, pigs, dogs, snakes, and iguanas). When made they are to be deposited together in a heap upon a sacrificial tray (anchak), together with betel-leaves, cigarettes, and tapers. One of the tapers is made to stand upon a silver dollar, with the end of a piece of particoloured thread inserted between the dollar and the foot of the taper; and the other end of this thread is given to the patient to hold whilst the necessary charm is being repeated. Part of this charm is worth quoting, as it helps to explain the line of thought on which the medicine-man is working:-- "I have made a substitute for you, And engage you for hire. As for your wish to eat, I give you food, As for your wish to drink, I give you drink. Lo, I give you good measure whether of sharks, Skates, lobsters, crabs, shell-fish (both of land and sea)-- Every kind of substitute I give you, Good measure whether of flesh or of blood, both cooked and raw. Accept, accept duly this banquet of mine. It was good at the first: if it is not good now, It is not I who give it." The explanation of this part of the ceremony is that the evil spirit, or "mischief," is supposed to leave the body of the sick man, and to proceed (guided, of course, by the many-coloured thread which the patient holds in his hand) to enter into the choice collection of "scapegoats" lying in the tray. As soon as his devilship is got fairly into the tray, the medicine-man looses three slip-knots (lepas-lepas), and repeats a charm to induce the evil spirit to go, and throws away the untied knots outside the house. The original "disease-boat" used in Selangor was a model of a special kind of Malay vessel called lanchang. This lanchang was a two-masted vessel with galleries (dandan) fore and aft, armed with cannon, and used by Malay Rajas on the Sumatran coast. This latter fact was, no doubt, one reason for its being selected as the type of boat most likely to prove acceptable to the spirits. To make it still further acceptable, however, the model was not unfrequently stained with turmeric or saffron, yellow being recognised as the royal colour among the Malays. Occasionally, on the other hand, a mere raft (rakit) is set adrift, sometimes a small model of the balei (state-chamber), and sometimes only a set of the banana-leaf receptacles called limas.
