A Famous "Bone Cave.r

An extraordinary bone cave" may
be seen In the island of Tenerife. 1t
is situated near the summit of lofty
sea cliff near OrOtava. close to the
small plain Of lie PaZ, where peace
was finally made between the conquer
ing Spaniards and the Guanches, the
original inhabitants Of the island.
Here the Guanches made their last
stand, and this cave formed shelter
for the small remnant left of the
tribesmen after the Spanish had fin-
ished with them. In former times the
place had evidently been burial
ground of the Guanches. and when
first discovered a number of mummies
were found In it. Now, however, only
a huge pile Of bones remains. Access
is obtained by descending rope
through hole dug In the roof. but the
original occupants must have had a
difficult and dangerous scramble down
the face Of the almost perpendicular
cliff to the natural entrance.---Wide
