presented. As the moon assembled there grew
before it. and stretched from the eastern
horizon, two broad. distinct bands of a pals
light, with just the faintest tinge Of mingled
colors. They grew elongated, until presently
they SPAWNED the heavens from the horizon OF
the northeast to the horizon on the
southwest. The distance between them
was about equal to the width of either. and
that one might compare with the width Of an
ordinary rainbow. It strsagty resembled a
lunar rainbow, or more properly, og.bov.
