cry bodies. He heard the swapping
jaws. He was torn from his hold
shrieking, and tossed into the air. from
beast to beast. His cries were so fren-
zied that they even reached the ears
Of those who watched on the shore.
He shrieked and fought, but he had
as much chance for life as primitive
man caught by herd of dinosaurs.
For few moments his bobbing body
was visible, grotesquely sprawled upon
the reddenIng waves. Then II was rent
limb from limb.
II disappeared. and, fighting over
their prey, the sea devils played the
last act Of their own drama. They fell
upon each other. II was the tragedy
Of the hye-the annual massacre Of
the drones; only they were all drones.
Nature had no more use for them, now
that their queen was gone.
Never had such spectacle been
seen by man before. The entire face
Of the inland sea was tumult OF
fighting monsters. The dead grew into
visibility as they became thicker. The
floating patches OF white almost OBJ
scured the waves. And still the fight
became more frenzled.
They tore each other and them
selves, they lashed the waves Into
foam; animal debris fioated from end
to end Of the ford. As the dead drift
ed toward the shore the struggle be-
came more furious in the heart Of the
sea.
Gradually II subsided. The last Of
the herd was gone. The battle that
was to decide the fate Of the world
had been civil one, and fought out
without mans agency.
The lash OF the waves drove the
light motorboat toward the cliffs. II
stranded not five hundred feet from
where Donald and his friends, awe
struck, had watched the progress OF
the titanic conflict. They ran toward
II and pulled Ida from the thwarts. II
