to speak as slowly and distinctly az

The seven Golden c.t,...

The "Seven Golden Cities" one OF
the most popular legends of the latter
part of the dark ages, were said to be
situated on an island west of the Afri-
can coast. The island Ia represented
az Astounding In gold, with magnificent
houses and temples, 'the high towers
OF which shown ut a great distance"
The legend also relates that at the
time of the conquest Of Spain and
Portugal by the Moors, when the In
habltants fed In every direction to es-
cape slavery, seven bishops, followed
by great number of people, took to
ships and put boldly out on the high
seas. After tossing about for some
time they landed on an unknown ls-
land, the famous spot Nhich In after
years became the seat of the Seven
Golden Cities"
This island" Heylyn says, was ex-
actly In midocean," After all had
landed safely the wise old bishops
burned the ships TO prevent their fol-
lowers from deserving and founded the
cities which have become so famous
IN song and story. This mysterious Is
lnnd was often sought by the early
navigators. Those who went In search
OF II and never returned were popular
ly believed to have been detained by
Its Inhabitants.
