silently up the mesa to the east end
of the doomed, town, the gate of which
had been left open by agreement with
a traitorous Awatobi chieftain.
Choice was made Of Il time when
most Of Awatobi's warriors would be
engaged in rites of religious ceremonial
in a large subterranean chamber, or
'..kiva."
The attacking force invaded the own
without causing alarm, surrounded the
kiva, and plucked up the ladder which
afforded the only means of exit from
it. Then they lighted their torches,
auG threw them down, together with
lighted bundles of grcascwood. The in
terror of the underground chamber was
thus converted into a literal furnace
and, further to torment the burning
men, the ruthless witch hunters tore
from the nearby house-walls strings Of
red peppers that hung there drying,
crushed them in their hands, and flung
them into the fire.
The story that led Doctor Fewkes
to undertake his inquiry and %iexcava-
ton Of the Mound Of Death was told to
him by an aged Indian woman whose
great great great grandmother was one
of the survivors of the massacre. She
was even able to point out to him the
approximate location of the subterra-
mean chamber in which the men Of
Awatobi were burned to death.
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1920-06-21

He found the underground chamber,
with great1quantitics of charred human
bones, and DISCOVERED other quantities
of similar gruesome rcmains near what
had been the gate of the town-the
scene, obviously, of a final massacre.
1t seems that Awatobi was aa'tirstifrtp'

to embrace Christianity. To this cir

religion was suspected to be a kind of
sorcery, and it was decided that the
only remedy lay in wiping out the
offending town, together with its pop
ulation, which, according to the Spanish
mission records, numbered about 500
souls.
From the viewpoint Of the Hopi pco-
pie, to be a sOrccrcr was. and is today,

E1THNOLOGICALLY speaking, the
- Southwest is'a region of many mys-
teries. There, in fortified villages built
on shelves of rock high up on canyon
walls, lived the cliff-dwellers, nobody
knows how long ago. Perched on lofty
heights are ruined castles and towers.
Over the mesa tops are scattered the
remains of many ancient towns.
One of these ruined towns is rela-
lively recent, having been destroyed in
the year 100, and its history, for
tunately preserved. is most remarkable.
1t was called Awatobi, and all that
remains of it today is a huge rubbish
heap. which, is known to the Hopi
Indians as the Mound Of Death.
1t was Il liopi town. populous and
thriving, and was attacked. and RACED

story, undertook to e~xcavate the mound
of rubbish. and thereby obtained ample
evidence of the truth of the tradition.

TITHY is it that no babies of the sea
v serpent have ever turned up?
1t seems strange because thousands
of the adult monsters-their skeletons,
that is to say-have been dug out of
the chalk beds of Kansas. Scientists
call them .'mosasaurs," but in all i'm
rortant descriptive respects they cor
respond to the modern idea of the huge
rcptilian h~obgoblin that Is reported off
our shores at intervals in the. summer
time.
Those sea serpents of long ago
thickly infested a great inland sea that
extended from the Gulf of Mexico
through Texas, Kansas. Colorado, Ne
braska and northward clear to the Arc
tic ocean. 1t was in fact an ocean,
though relatively shallow, being no
where deeper than 1900 feet; and
through the western part of it ran a
string of islands representing the Rocky
mountains, which at thai reriod-per-
haps 1000. 900 years ago-had not yet
been uplifted.
The sand and silt deposited on the
bottom of that ancient sea are repre-
sented today, over vast areas. by sand
stones. Multitudes of tiny animals that
lived in the water left behind them their

some of them of gigantic size. but it
is thought that the only ones among
them that would be likely to attack and
to be, dangerous to men, if they were
living today, were the sea %serpents,
OF the modern sea serpent (if there
be such a creature) we know nothing;
but, strange to say. we know more about
the ancient sea scrpents than about any
other animal of the distant past. We
know what they looked like. how they
lived. what they ate. the sort of skin
that covered their bodies, and even their
color markings.
When they died their bodies sank
to the bottom and were covered with
the soft, chalky ooze of the sea floor
before decomposition Tin many cases)
had time to start. Thus the sediment
(afterward hardening into rock) often
preserved perfect casts of them, show
ing even the scales.
Many of the skeletons dug out of the
old chalk beds arc complete and ad-
mirably preserved. Even the bones of
fishes eaten millions of years ago are
found in the monsters stomachs. Cc-
casionally the skin-casts show plain
traces of pigment in stripes which man
ifestly adorned their bodies.

aquatic; on land they would have been
helpless.
That they were exceedingly ferocious'
and pugnacious as well is Judged not
only from their formidable rccurvcd
teeth. but also from marks of severe
wounds. partly or wholly healed, that
are shown by many of their bones. An
occasional skull attests serious injury
during life. and in one instance a tail
seems to have been bitten off. Pre-
sumably the monsters fought each other
to the DEATH
The skull in large specimens is five
feet long, and the huge jaws are hung
loose like those of a snake. enabling the
creature to swallow prey of consider
able size-tishes, say four or five feet
in length. Probably it also ate the
young of other reptiles. and very likely
captured an occasional ptcrodactyl-
those flying lizards being plentiful about
tho shores of the cretaceous sea. Pro-
vidcd with a powerful propclling tail. it
must have been a wopdcrful swimmer.
What has long puzzled the scientists
is the fact that they have never come
across the remains of a single young
sea serpent. What became of all the
baby ''mosasaurs"?
The only plausible explanation seems
to be that the female sea serpents. wler
