In the early days travel to Boston was by sea.
Salem was the port of entry also for the great
tide of Puritan migration which swept into
New England, and this tide Of migration we
are only too likely to forget, came largely from
rural England which had not yet yielded to the
new fashions set by the court of James and
Charles, and hence Elizabethan in temper.
These Puritans may have been stern and
narrow, but they were also bold, adventurous
and independent, full of vitality and initiative.
The original Salem was EiZabethan town

constructed. Two years later another was built,
and Salem began to talk about becoming the
seat of provincial government. It certainly was
becoming seat of commerce. The North River
was navigable to ships of that period as far in
land as the present Peabody and anybody who
wanted to go into commerce could have his own
wharf in his own back garden. Little is left,
of course, of that early town. There is, to be
sure, the famous House of Seven Gables eve

Continuation Of
CHAPTER XI

We landed safely at the usual
place. near Rockburg, and the
turtle was condemned and exc
cuted soon afterward; the shell,
which was quite eight feet long,
and three broad, was, when clean
ed and prepared, to form a trough
for the water supply at the cave
and the meat was carefully salt
ed. and stored up for many a
good and savory meal.
1t had been my intention to
bring a piece of land under culti-
walton before the next rainy sea
son. to be sown with different
sorts of grain; but many unfore-
seen circumstances had interven-
ed to hinder this, and our animals.
unaccustomed to the yoke, were
not available for the pillow.
l therefore gave up the idea
for the present, and applied my
self, with Ernest's assistance, to
completing the loom, which, al
though the workmanship was
clumsy, 1 succeeded in making
quite fit for use. l had fortunate
ly in my younger days spent
many hours in the workshops of
weavers and other artisans, and
therefore I understood more than
might have been expected of their
various crafts.
Paste or size was required to
smear over the threads; but we
could not spare flour for such a
purpose, and / used isinglass,
which kept the warp moist per-
fectly well, and spared us the
necessity of setting up the loom
in a damp uncomfortable place
which has often to be done to
prevent the overdrying of the
web.
OF this isinglass | also made
thin plates, to be used as window
panes; they were at least as trans
parent as horn, and when fixed
deep in the rock, and beyond the
reach of rain, did good service
in admitting light.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1930-07-04

found the scene all to horrible.
and fastened into the cave, trem-
bling and distressed.
To the rest of us there seemed
a fearful fascination in the dread
full sight, and we could not move
from the spot. | expected that
the boa, before swallowing his
prey, would cover it with saliva,
to aid in the operation, although
it struck me that it's very slender
forked tongue was about the
worst possible implement for such
a purpose.

stock of provisions, or fodder fol
the animals; and the hay falling
us on the evening of the third
day, / determined to set them al
liberty by sending them, under
the guidance of Fritz, across the
river at the ford.
He was to ride Lightfoot, and
they were to be fastened together
until safely over.
Next morning we began to pre-.
pare for this by tying them in a
line, and while so engaged my
wife opened the door, when old
Grizzle, who was fresh and frol-
icsome broke away from the hal
ter, cut some awkward capers,
then boiling out, careered at full
gallop straight for the marsh.
In vain we called him by name.
Fritz would have even have rush
ed after him, had not | held him
back. In another moment the ass
was close to the thicket, and with
the cold shudder of horror, we
beheld the snake rear itself from
it's lair, the fiery eyes glanced
around, the dark, deadly jaws
opened widely, the forked tongue
darted greedily forth-poor Griz-
zle's fate was sealed.
Becoming aware on a sudden of
his danger, he stopped short,
spread out all four legs, and set
up the most piteous and discord-
ant bray that ever wrung echo
from rocks.
Swift and straight as a fencer's
thrust, the destroyer was upon
him, wound round him, e%ntangled,
EMBODIED, compressed him, all the
while cunningly avoiding the con-
vulsive kicks of the agonized an
imal.
A cry of horror arose from the
spectators of this miserable
tragedy.
Shoot him, father! oh, shoot
him-do save poor Grizzle!"
My children, it is impossible!"
cried 1, Our old friend is lost to
us for ever, l have hopes, how
ever, that when gorged with his
prey we may be able to attack
the snake with some chance Of
success"
But the horrible wretch is new
er going to swallow him all at
once, father?" cried Jack. THAT
will be too shockingi"
Snakes have no grinders, but
only fangs, therefore they cannot
chew their food, and must swal-
low it whole. But although the
idea is startling, it is not really
more shocking than the rending,
tearing, and shedding of blood
which occurs when the lions and
tigers seize their prey"
But" said Franz, how can the
snake separate the flesh from the
bones without teeth? And is this
kind of snake poisonous"
mo, dear child" said l, "only
fearfully strong and ferocious.
And it has no need to tear the
flesh from the bones. 1t swallows
them, skin, hair. and all, and di-
gests everything in its stomach"
ut seems utterly impossible
