ment that 2OO,OOO.O00 pounds of

FINDS HATCHET 400
YEARS OR MORE OLD
v
Percy Lee Discovers Blade i'll Farm
ingtOn That Belonged to
Race of Giants.

What archaeologists believe to be
an important discovery has been
made by Percy Lee. an artist, of Main
street. in the form of stone hatchet,
at least 400 years old.
The hatchet, which corresponds
more to the outlines of battleaxe,
was found on the Pennington flats. in
ground which had been turned over
by a plow. 1t was not far beneath
the surface.
The hatchet weighs II pounds
which leads archaeologists to believe
it was welded by men greater in
stature than the present race. The
handle had long since disappeared
and any inscription that might have
been on the. blade has been worn
away by its long stay in the earth.
1t is possible that the hatchet is
thousands instead of hundreds of
years old. The Tunxis Indians made
their home in the neighborhood where
the axe was found but the instru-
ment is thought to antedate these
people.
Mr.. Lee has added the hatchet to
his fast growing collection but may
exhibit 1t at the Museum of Natural
History and Art at the New Britain
Institute.

Hundreds of Citizens Left Homeless

nearly a dozen cottages being UNDER

washed away, verandas torn from
cottages that withstood the waves,
furniture was tossed about and
smashed against the walls and debris

uprooted at Walnut beach distance
of 200 yards from the water front,
while theaters and buildings even
more distant were under three feet
of water on their first floors. The
trolley tracks were undermined so
that traffic was abandoned from early
yesterday afternoon until this morn
ing and the damage done to the line
along the way will amount to thou
sands Of dollars.
At Fairfield beach five cottages
were undermined and demolished,
while all piers and bath houses were
wrecked beyond repair.
Scavengers added to the loss at Mil
ford beaches, appearing after the
storm subsided and carrying away In
teams everything moveable. A Gordon

to the looting, but not before hun
dreds of dollars worth of goods had
been stolen.
