Bulum-Baukan stole the fire from the Kurnai and was carrying
it away up to the sky by way of Wilsons Promontory ( )
when Bulumbaukan [was - crossed out] got to the top Būlūm tūt took a cord
of Emu sinews and threw it up so that it stuck fast in the
sky (Maiaura). Then he pulled at it to see if it would bear his weight, but
it broke. Then he tried a cord of the sinews of the Kangaroo's (Piraua) tail
but that broke. Then he tried some made of the sinews of the Red Wallaby (Guniar)
and that held fast and did not break when he tried it. Then he
said to Bulum Baukan "You hold me round the neck
with your hands. When Baukan did his Bullum tūt began
to climb up to the sky. Now when Ngarugal the crow
saw [them- crossed out] Bulum Baukan steal the fire he told ___ the
Swamp Hawk, who flew after them and beat Bulum Baukan
with his wings so that a piece of the fire fell down on
the ground. The Bribben (Petroica tricolor) caught the fire
and [blew it - crossed out] blowing it into a blaze, rubbed it over [on- crossed out] her breast.
In this way the Kurnai got back their fire, but the Bulum Tut
climbed up to the sky carrying Bulumbaukan and they never
came back.
