manity for having altered the axis
OF tho globe.
However, In any discussion OF this
interesting question, 1t must be borne
in mind that. since by far the greater
part OF the Sahara Is from seventy
feet to more than mile In elevation
above ocean level. and that those
tracts that lie below ocean level are
chiefly valleys between the hills and
mountains or the basins of ancient
lakes never very extensive In area.
a Sahara sea would consist only of an
exceedingly irregular body OF water
containing many islands and extend
ing into the unfiooded districts In a
multitude Of bays and coves. 1t would
be considerably less than one-third
the size of the Mediterranean. And
now there recurs the question Of the
possible physical influences OF such a
sea.
Area OF 25o,oco Square Miles.
II the Sahara sea should have an
entire area of 250.000 square miles.
with a mean depth OF 200 feet--and
both estimates are generous--it would
contain about thirty-fiye billion tons
6 water. Whether the canal we're
cut to the north coast OF Africa or to
the west. the flooding would be grad
ual and the level OF the Atlantic
would be speedily re-established. or
course thirty-five billion tons seems
great deal OF water. but in proper
tion to the bulk OF the earth It Is
utterly infinitesimal. and compared
with the volume OF the ocean It is as
drop out OF pailful. A little. rea-

And they were dead entirely. the

But to begin at the beginning:
The ship Andora Of Liverpool, a
full rugged three-master, cleared
from Guyaquil in April, 1907. She
was bound for Ilo, Perue. in bal
asst, to be fumigated before proceed
ing to Lometus Tefura for cargo
of guano for Antwerp.
In Ecuador, the rainy season
is tolerably well advanced by April
and at the date of the Andora's
