Kings Mythical Sword

Excalibur is the name given the IA
nous mystic sword of King Arthur,
which he found inserted in a sheath
of stone and pulled out, although POI
of his bravest knights had singy been
unable to withdraw it. An inscription
on the stone declared that whoever
should succeed in unsheathing TIE
sword would prove to be the rightful
heir to the throne; and Arthur was
accordingly chosen and proclaimed
king by general reclamation. The
sword was said to be so bright that ''it
gave light like thirty torches" Arthur,
at the approach Of death, commanded
an attendant to cast the sword into a
lake nearby, but the order had to be
given three times before it was Obeyed.
AS soon as the sword touched the
water a hand clothed in whitd

hilt, tlourished it three times, and then

Fierce Storm Thought
to Mean Worlds End

The most terrific storm In the his
tory Of the British isles ragged during
the month of November, 1903. This
terrible hurricane was so devastating
that it was generally believed that
the end of the world had come. De
foe, best known as the author Of
Robinson CrusOe, who experienced its
worst terrors, wrote: Horror and
confusion seized upon all; no pen
can describe it, no tongue can eX-
press 1t, no thought can conceive It,"
The voice of the wind was like thun-
der. To venture abroad was to court
instant death; to stay within doors
was to risk the fall of the house.
The loss of life on land and sea and
in the floods Of the Severn and
Thames, seems to have been beyond
computation. In London the damage
to property was estimated at S10,O00,-
600. The first Eddystone lighthouse
a ridiculous sort Of pagOda, of four
years standing, was swept away, and
with it the architect, Winstanley. The
hurricane ended in a dead calm at
the exact hour when it had started
raging a week before.

still shrouded in mystery. Each gave

by Graham without cause and he Of

ermine. The snowy white pelt, set off
by the jet black at the end of the tail,
attracted attention centuries ago and
was adopted as the royal costume for
the kings of England. 1t Is said that
Edward III forbade it's use by any one
not Of royal blood This ancient royal
costume adOrns the "king" in packs Of
playing cards. Later it became the dis
tinguishing fur Of nobility, and espe-
cially Of judges, who representing the
royal power, were regarded merely as
the king himself acting through his
agents in dealing justice among his
people. AS showing their imperial
power, ermine is worn in the official

Chief Wyniaco, whose English name
is William R. Clark, and followed by
the university professors and other
special guests, marched from the
home of the chief to a spot on the
edge of the wood along Indian river
where the exercises were held. The
space had been rOped off for the ex-

guests were seated. The council fire
was lighted and kept burning through
out the exercises.

brief Indian prayer to the Sun God.
Then the pipe of peace was passed
about, and Chief Wyniaco extended
greetings to the visitors. A dance
around the council fire followed.
About seventy-fve members of the as
sOciation took part in this ceremony,
while the others looked on. Then fol-
lowed a war dance and the professors
from the University beat the tom
toms. A corn and snake dance fol-
lowed.

ed it was a rare treat to him to be

How the Descendants Became United
Learning that in lower Delaware
that there were mounds which prob
ably were built by Nanticoke Indians,
a party of scientists, headed by DR..
Frank GOuldsmith Speck, head of the
department of anthropology of the
University of Pennsylvania, and one
of the most eminent American and
European authorities on the American
Indian, accompanied by Professor A.
r. Davidson, Yale S. Nathan, William
c. Macleod and Professor A. Irving
HallOwel, instructor in anthropology
and psychologist, all of the Univer-
sity, three years ago visited the
mounds for the purpose of digging
and studying them as we'll as the
descendants of the Nanticokes now
living in Indian River section.
1t was ascertained that the mounds
were of curious origin and it was es-
tablished beyond a doubt that they
were made by the forefathers, the
Nanticokes, who a century and half
ago held all of the Eastern Shore of
Maryland and all of Delaware north
of the Indian River Inlet and to a line
drawn from the Inlet over to Dover,
Delaware's capital, and thence due
west to the mouth of the Susquehanna
River.
1t was ascertained by the scientists
that the NanticOkeS, as we'll as all
of the Powhattan Confederacy tribes
to which they have belonged since
they were discovered by Captain John
Smith in 1908, mummifed their chiefs
very much like the ancient Egyptians.
The Theory was that the mounds
might have been built over the re-
mains of some of the chiefs, and ex-
cavatiOnS were made at that time to a
depth of ten feet or more. No skel-
etOns were found during this explOra-
tiOn trip, but beautiful Spearheads, ar
rOws-heads, tOmahawks and pottery
were dug out A study of the char
acteristics of the Nanticokes of old
with the descendants found in the sec
tiOn of what was once the happy
hunting grounds Of the original tribe
established beyond a doubt to the sci
entists that the members of the Nan
ticoke Indian Association were direct
lineal descendants. At once steps
were taken to form the association,
and Dr. Speck gave valuable aSSis-
tance to those back of the movement.
Since that time DR.. Speck and his CO.
workers have taken a deep interest in
the Nanticoke descendants and an
nually visits the association and as
siSts them in reviving the customs of
their foreparents. Possibly it would
have been years before the association
was formed had it not been for the
interest manifested by the professors
from the University Of Pennsylvania
all of whom are honorary members ot
the tribe.
