She had barely time TO scream down 10
Meyer to put the children to bed early, and

Then she commenced to descend gradually,
until she came to within y couple hundred
feet Of the earth. She then screamed some

students Of natural history tried TO bring
her down with shot.guns, under the i'm.
preston that she was some new variety OF
