OMEWHERE in "Darkest Africa" Capt
L. B. Stevens of England is searching
for the prehistoric monster whose re
ported existence has been disturbing
the scientific world moro or less
since 1903. It Is supposed to be somo
Bort of o. dinosaur. Inasmuch as the
dinosaur is a flfty-foot lizard that
dates back to the "Age of Reptiles,"
which nntedatcs man on this earth by anywhere
from CO to COO millions of years, the scientists are
naturally saying, with the country boy nt tho cir
cus nt sight of lils first hippopotamus, "Gosh, there
ain't no slch anlrallo I"
Still there Vas such an animal once. And
people are saying they have seen such an anlmaj
now. Hence Captain Stevens' expedition to
Africa.
The earlier reports have been corroborated by
two Belgian big-game hunters, who report sighting
a huge beast of terrifying proportions and at
tributes. Mr. Gapelle, one of the Belgians, says
his party caught a, glimpse of a huge beast rending
his way through the Jungle verdure, which defied
zoological analogy. Ho says It was In tho general
ahape of a lizard, probably fifty 'feet long, with
a thick tail like a kangaroo's, a hump on its back,
and a terlfylng horn on Its snout Tho monster
was covered with scales, which were colored with
reat blood-red spots from which radiated pale
green stripes.
A well-known English naturalist and collector,
has written to the press thnt there Is every reason
to believe there is such ,an animal living In the
heart of the unexplored jungles, If not great num
lbers of them. During his stay in Africa he heard
the story from so many different sources, ho says,
that he Js convinced there Is some truth In it.
"Fifteen years ago, when collecting In the
Transvaal, I heard an Interesting story of a mon
ster, half snake, half beast. My informant, pf the
Rhodeslan police, who patrolled near Barotsoland,
'Said-he had approached within a hundred yards
of It while It was lying asleep on tho border of ft
swamp. It was, ho declared, a hundred feet long,
and its strange appearance so frightened .hlra that
it awakened and gilded Into tho swamp before ho
could raise his gun. It traveled noiselessly apd
with great speed.
"The country round about was quite unex
plored. My frlbnd told me that I was the first
to whom ho had mentioned tho story, as he was
nfrald, to tell his comrades because they would
have laughed athlm.
"Once again when I was on tho French Kongo
seaboard I heard fearful stories from the native,
'hunters of the monster. I also heard the same
stoaes on tho way to the Belgian Kongo, where
tho present so-called brontosaurus Is supposed to
linvo been seen. When you hear stories from three
or four widely different souVces I believe there Is
some truth In them. You nfust remember that If
you travel to Fernan Faz and Sette Cnma and go
up info the interior, most of the country has never
'been exploredt What creatures llvo in its vast,
mysteries we do not know. Whether tho so-called
brontosaurus Is a -prehistoric survival or not I
would not care to ay. I firmly believe the crea
ture exists, but I believe it is an unknown creature
of more modern descent.
"The brontosaurus, or whatever tho strange
creatuVe is, makes use of its legs and Its body
It glides. I should Imagine It Is a very dangerous
creature. But that It Is not all a fairy-tale I am
-certain- I have been there, and I have talked with
natives who will not pass a certain boundary Into
an 'evil land' because of the huge monsters which
live in its remote solitudes."
Walter WJnans, an American living in Lon
don, tho pistol champion and a big-game hunter,
also believes In the existence of this creature.
The late Carl Hagenbeck told mo before the
war," Mr. Wlnans snld, "that two of his travelers,
on different expeditions and In different years,
liad seen tho brontosaurus. In swamps In central
Africa. I do not think It is Impossible that somo
of the prehistoric animals have survived, and when
several explorers havo "seen glimpses of what they
think must bo such animals they are most prob
ably right It 1 pot as If somo ono not used to
recognizing them Instantly saw wild animals for
tho first time. These men are always on the
' lookout for new species and know all tho animals
by sight.
"It Is posslblw that tho sea-serpent is one of
these so-called extinct reptiles, and that tho dodo
may still exist Eomcyhero not yet explored. Tho
iuagga, too, which existed until a fow years ago,
mny still live In some unexplored part of Africa
and the mammoth and to cave bear Btlll wander
in Siberia."
Mr. Wlnans went f&VCner to satisfy the Eng.
llsh public nnd drew an ctttlino of what this an!
mal probably looks like. With that picture, which
appeared In the Evening News, ho appended this
bit of descriptive argument:
"The scientists draw this beast standing on Its
legs, aB a mammal would. Now no mammalian
animal has tho combined heavy tall and long neck
this anlmnl has. A kangaroo has the heavy tail
but It is built very light in front with only short
rndlmentary legs. It uses Its tail as a third leg.
In combination with Its two hind legs and works
on, n tripod so formed. Tho giraffo has a long
neck, but It is built light behind, and Its tall la
bo light that it practically has no weight in com
parison. Tho giraffo carries its head high so
rb not to put a leverage on It
J'Now tho brontosaurus Is heavy both In the
tall and the neck, which, besides, are both very
long. .If It stood as the scientists draw It the, tall
and neck-would overbalance It and a .slight puff

of wind from the side would blow "it over. It Is
ridiculous to think that an animal a hundred feet
long would have legs close together In the mid
dle and havo three-quarters of its length sticking
out in front nnd behind unsupported Jn the nlr.
My Idea Is that the brontosaurus was a reptile,
practically a crocodile, with a snake-llko neck,
and not a mammal, that It carried Itself as a
crocodile does, that Is, crawled on its belly when
on land nnd did not walk on straight tegs.
"I think it crawled with Its neck drawn' back
so as to strike like a cobra and most likely had
poisonous fangs. In fact it was n big poisonous
lizard, and that It wus brilliantly colored, like
them, and perhnps discharged poison through Its
skin like a toad when Irritated.
"The best .weapon to shoot it with would be
the magnified Mnuscr rifle, such as the Germans
used against tanks, only with an explosive shell
Instead of an armor-piercer. If I were younger
I should be off after him."
Anyway, tho monster is sufficiently real to
have set tho scientists disputing about his possi
bility, his identity nnd his looks. They call Jilm
all sorts of names brontosaurus, trlceratops, bro
alosaurus, tylosaurus and so on. One expert
writes to tho press:
"The animal in question can not be a brorrio
surus, If the illustration Jn H. G. Wells' book,
'Outlines of History,' are correct The Illustra
tions show a very different creature from the de
scriptions In tho newspapers of this one. What
this one really appears to be Is a trlceratops, only
that animal has two horns.".
Another zoologist heaps scorn on tho entire
Idea, asserting that while he believes there are
undiscovered animals living In the heurt of Africa, ,
he doubts that a dinosaur or any other primeval
beast exists anywhere today. Ho writes:
"The period In which they lived is incredibly
remoto ns man 'counts time. Their bones are
found In tho strata of tho Eocene period. The
brontosaurus was remarkable for his very small
head and small brain cavity, His wholo skull was
no larger than his neck bono, Tho name means
thunder beast,' nnd ono species was well over fifty
feet In length nnd weighed probably twenty tons
or jnoro." ,
The evolution- of man has been a long process
so long that tho geologists and other scientists
prefer to dodge the question of tho millions of
years Invplvfd nnd reckon In eras, an era being
anywhere ,from six to 45 millions of years. They
call tho first era Archeozoic; it is nncicnt beyond
all knowledge. Then comes tho Proterozo!c,,wHh
Its very primitive forms of water life, lasting 83
millions of years. Tho Paleozoic, with fish, am
phiblans and land plants, lasted 45 millions. Tho
Mezozolc, tho age of reptiles and amphibians nnd
of trees, saw tho first mammals; it lasted jo mil.
lions of years. Tho present era, the Cenozolc, has
seen tho rise and development of tho highest or
ders of plants and animals nnd the appearauco of
man ', Its duration to date la put at 0 million years
So that's what wo nro up against when wo
talk of there being at largo in Africa a survivor
of tho Ago of Reptiles.
Anyway, wo know these reptiles actually'
existed becauso wo find their fossil remains pretty
much all over tho world. Why, these fossils are
so thick, out In Utah, U. S, A., that wo havo tho
Dinosaur National monument You sco, orico upon
a tlmo, tho waves of an open sea rolled over the
spot where now stands Long's peak .(14,255 feot)
"King of tho Rockies." In this sea sported the
marine monster of long ago nnd on its shores
lived tho grotesquo creatures of tho Age of Rep
tiles. Then tho Rocky Mountains heaved them
selves up and this great inland sea had to run off
Into the Arctic ocean and the Gulf of Mexico and
the Pacific. And then the rains washed down tho
mountains and filled" up tho plains Jth' tho
scourlngs.
Somo of the creatures In tills Inland sea got
mired and their bones are now found petrified in
a remarkably perfect stnto of preservation.' And
Ifs no trick for a scientist who knows his bust-
to reconstruct an animal from his bones.
Mr. Gapello's monster seems
to succest tho armored dinosaur,
Stegosaurus. If that's tho fell
low, ho isn't dangerous. He's
herbivorous. He's scarcely any
brains at nil; that's why he Is
armored to protect him from his
enemies. He's nbout 20 feet
long and 10 feet high.
Tho Tylosaurus, "hnlf snako
half beast," isn't a Dinosaur, hut
a Mosasaur, though that prob
ably, makes no particular differ
ence. He's a 8easerpcntlsh sort
of thing and, probably requires
moro water than a morass nf-
The Brontosaurus, according to the restora
tion herewith reproduced, doesn't look especially
formidable, except for his size.
Tho dinosaur that seems best ablo to pay ms
way and keep on going Is the Allsaurus. Hosgot
teeth and claws and looks as If ho might move
rai1 However, tho fact that tho African dinosaur
does not seem to be- exactly Uko any of his pre
historic relatives proves nothing. It may bo tnat
the fellow Captain Stevens is after has evoluted
Uko tho rest of the world and Is prepared to pre
sent something entirely new in dinosaurs. Why
should ho not have developed? 4 He's had at least
six, mllllpn years In which to Improve himself.
"The Outlines of History," H. G. Wells' now
book, considers tlieso enrty monsters quite cully:
He says in one place: .
"The . earliest-known reptiles wero beasts tu
great bellies and not very powerful legs, very like
their kindred amphibia, wallowing ns tho croco
dllo wallows to this day; but In the Mesozoic they
soon began to stand up and go stoutly on all fours,
and several great sections of them began to bal
ance themselves von tail and' hind legs, rather as
the kangaroos do now. Another division' was the
crocodile branch, and another d&vclopcd townrd
the tortolso and tho turtles. Tho Pleslosnurs and
the Ichthyosaurs were two groups which loft tlo
livlpg representatives. Pleslosaurus measured 800
feet from snout; to tall tip of which half was neck.
'"The Mosasaurs wero a third groupof great por
poiselike marine lizards. Buf tho .largest nnd
most diversified group of these Mesozoic reptiles
was the group we have Bpoken of as kangaroo
like, the Dinosaurs, many of which attnlned enor
mous proportions. In bigness these greater Ditio
Baurs havo never been exceeded, although the sea
can still show In tho whales creatures as ppat.
Some of these, and tho largest among tliem.l were
herbivorous animals ; they browsed on rushy vege
tation and among tho ferns and bushes, or they
stood up' and grasped trees with their forelegs
while they devoured the foliage.
"Among tho browsers, for exoimple, wero tho
DIplodoccus carnegll, which measured 84 feot in
length, and tho Atlantosaurus. Tho Gigantosau
rus, disinterred by a Gorman expedition In 1012
from rocks In East- Africa, was still moro colossal.
It measured well over 100 feet I Theoo greater
monsters had legs, and they aro usually figured as
standing up on them; but it is very doubtful If
they could havo supported their weight in this
way out of water. Buoyed up by water or mud
they may havo got along.
"Another noteworthy typo we hnvo figured Is tho
Trlceratops. Thero were also a great number of
flesh caters, who preyed upon tlieso horblvores.
Of these, Tyrnnnosaurus seems nlmost tho last
word In 'frlghtfulness among Irving things. Komo
species of this genus measured 40 feet from snout
to toll. Apparently It carried this vast body knn
gnroo fashion, on Its taU and hind legs. Probably
It reared Itself up. Somo authorities even sup.
poso thnt It leapt through 'tho nlr. If so, It pos
sessed muscles of a qulto miraculous quality.
Much moro probably it waded, half submerged, in
pursuit of tlio herbivorous rlvor saurlans."
And along with these terrible ueasts were but
like creatures. "These bat-lizards wero the ptero
dactyls. But blrdliko though they were, thoy werf
not birds, nor tho ancestors of birds. Tho struc
ture of their wings wns that of a hand with ono
long finger nnd a weir, tho wing of a bird is like
nn arm with fea'therH projecting from Its hind
edge. And tfcCBo plerodnctyls had no fcuthers."
AH of theso creatures havo disappeared from
tho faco of tho earth, Vells says. Thoy ended
abruptly. They woro extinguished ns though by
tho waving of n magic wand, perhnps In order to
make place for man ; and Wells says that the end
ing of tho reptiles Is beyond nil question tho mo'st
striking revolution in tho whole history of tho
earth befqro tho coming of mankind.
"It Is probably connected with tl)0 closo of a
vast period ,of cquablo warm conditions and Uie
onset of n new, austerpr age, in which tho winters
were bitterer and' tho summers brief, but hot"

ON n Into nftcrnoon of a winter's
dny, during tho American Rev
olution, a rakish schooner and a
majestic frlgato anchored well Inside
a llttlo bay on thp northeastern coast of
England. A whaleboat dro,vo shore
ward, a young ofllcer scrambled up
tho steep cliffs and n few minutes later
a mysterious stranger was transferred
to tho frigate's deck. Ho answered to
tho name oft "Mr. Gray" and was Bald
to bo merely a pilot, but ho wns greet
ed, with surprising deference.
For no ordinary man would theso
vessels have' ventured so near that
coast of sandbars and hidden rocks.
The wind was n mere ruffle of nlr. But
the Incessant mutter of tho long, slow
wnves foretold that a storm was
browing. Ever moro fitfully and faint
ly blow the land-breezo ; the mutter of
the waters grow deeper. Only here arid
thero did a few stars twinkle between
tho fast gathering clouds. It was time
,to beat out to open sea, if It were not
even1 now too late. Men swarmed aloft
and hung up tho yards; sails fluttered
out; the anchor was pulled In; tho
frlgato gathered headway. Then the
faint brcezo died. Tho spread of can
vns hung useless; the currents drove
tho ship shoreward.
With a roar tho wind camo suddenly
from tho east White spray dashed
from tho bow, Yet the Pilot paced Uie
quarter-deck "seemingly oblivion to
danger. But open water was far
ahead and suddenly- from the forecas
tle came that dreaded cry; "Breakers 1
breakers, dead ahead I" . Tho Pilot
Bhook off his tranco of thought. His
orders thundered forth, sailors sprang
hither and thither at hlsfblddlng, the
frigate swung about at his cry of
"Hold on everything I" Tortuously, she
picked her way through the twisting
channels, 'in darkness amid tho Rowl
ings of the great winds.
Sho shivered from bow to stern as
a hundred men loosed the huge main-;
sail. Tho Jib was torn free with a
crash like a cannon's blast, but tbo big
sail held and tho frigate bowed llko u
reed in tho wind. White foam showed
dimly upon both sides, but the Pilot
kept tho ship, as by a miracle, within
a narrow ribbon of dark water. Ho
took tho wheel himself. Tlmo and
ogaln tho frignto seemed to have
reeled frco from peril ; time and again
sho plunged anew toward a welter of
whlto water. But sho drove over on
and at last she rode tho great waves
of the bpen sen.
Not the storm alone had these ships
dared. They wero American vessels,
lurking about an enemy's coast. This
llttlo bay had a peculiar fascination
for two young lieutenants aboard, Ed
ward Griffith and IMchard Barnstable.
Not far inland lived Colonel Howard,
a Tory who had fled from America
when tho colonlstD rovoltcd. With him
dwelt his niece, Cecilln Howard, be
loved by arllfith, ntid his ward, Kath
erlno Plowdon, betrothed to BarnHta
bio. In St. Buth's abbey lingered, too,
Christopher Dillon, a poor kinsman
anxious to better his condition by wed
ding the wealthy Cecilia. Itcdcoatn
lent a picturcsquencss to tho venerable
abbey, for a small garrison under
Cnptnln BorroughcUffo had been sum
moned by the owner. For aught thnt
;mcn know, John Paul Jones hlmsolf
might ue aboard theso ships hovering
nonrby.
While rcconnoltcrlng tho next night,
"Mr. Gray" and Gritnth wero captured,
but Borroughcllrfo's drunkenness ena
bled them to escape. Griffith was, how
ever, retaken.
Tho lmpetuou's Barnstable, fretting
otfshoro with his enormous coxswain,
Long Tom Collin, had been nearly cut
off from his schooner by an English
cutter, but he scrambled aboard safely
and thedrum beat to quarters. While
broadsides roared and tho decks grew
slippery with blood, the llttlo fighting,
ships met and grappled. Before Bam-'
stable could load his boarders to th
enemy's vdeck, Coflln tumbled ,lnto the
sea. Shouting "Rovengo Long Tom I"
the lieutenant rushed with his men
upon the foe. It wns fighting at close
quarters and tho Issue was In doubt
when tho drenched and furious cor
swalu emorged from the sea andvV'th
hla harpoon pinioned tho English cap
tain to his mast In aow minutes
tho Araerlcnns,wore masters of tho cut
ter. Cowering In that scone of blood
shed tho victors dlscoveredthe crafty
Dillon, who pleaded to be sent off as a
hostago, promising to return in person
ot to have Griffith delivered In his
stead.
His word of honor was trusted and
ho was sent away with Long Tom. Ha
luckily OTerheard Dillon's treacherous
plot to .entrap Barnstable's waiting
party. The resourceful old seaman
gagged BorroughcUffo and drive Dil
lon, at tho point of his harrfoon, back
to tho waiting schooner. By this time',
howovor, a battery on the cliff brought
down tho schooners mainmast She
was driven from hor course by heavy
seas. The masts wero felled, and an
chors dropped, but she plunged on like
n bobbing cork in rapids. Bnrnstr.ble
would havo stayed by his ship, but '
suddenly Long Tom seized him and
hurled him over tho bulwarks. "God's
will bo done with mo," Coflln cried,
above tho wind's roar. Dlllou's lifeless '
body was rolled upon the shore, but'
Long Tom's stayed with tho sea to
which ho had dedicated his life.
Surprise succeeded Burpriso at, the ,
abbey. Barnstable marched his Bhlp
wrecked mariners into tho building and
they t(jok possession, but thoy we're
soon mndo prlsonors by tho redconts.
Then tho mysterious figure of tho Pilot
appeared at tho door and behind hlra,
loomed the marines' from the frigate.
Colonel Howard, an unwilling prison
er, was marched away with "Cecilia '
and Kathcrlne, who could not bo down
cast at tho triumph of tholf lovers.
Captain BorroughcltfTe was freed, as
was another Inmate of the abbey, Alice
Duscombo. Sho had recognized the
Pilot in his dlsgulso when ho was first
captured. They hnd been lovers, but
slio wns bo staunch In her lovo for hpr
king nnd sho so hated bloodshed that
she had broken her troth to this "Mr.
Gray," whom she addressed as John.
Sho reminded him ,that did she but
onco call aloud his true name the
wholo countryside would ring with it.
What that 'name was Is never revealed,
but therofWas hut ono sea rover who
could 8trko stark terror Into all Eng
lish hearts.
On board tho frigate repoated coo
ferences were held between Uie cap
tain, Grimth and 'Mr,. Gray." Sud
denly out of the fog drove a mountain
ous ship of the llpe The. drumbeat
aboard the frigate; sailors' leaped nim
bly about the deck, clearing for action.
Tho woolen wero" led below and.grada
ally order resolved Itself out of the
chaos of shouting men. A terrific roar
filled the air as threo 'tiers of guns
blazed a broadside from the English'
ship. A few sails and ropes were cut,
but the frigate's sailing power was
hnrdly affected. One chanco ball
struck the captain and hurled him to
death. Griffith succeeded to tho com-
mand and ho wus appalled; as he saw
the frlgato hemmed nbout. ,' To the
east loomed the great ship of war and
far In tho northeast the salts of another
frigate, j
"What are wo, to do?" cried Griffith.
"Fight them I fight them I' shouted th
Pilot. '"Lot me proclalm.yobr nameyto
the men," Griffith appealed, But th
Pilot refused. ''Should we kcome to a
grapple," ho said, "I will gtvo forth the
namo as a war-cry and these English
will quall.before it,'! f '
The ship' of war was. distanced, but
she cut off a retreat and the frigate '
ahead had been re-enforced by two
others. Tho foremost maneuvered with
the American frigate for, position.
Broadsides crashed and they grappled.
The American guns raked her foe and
left her helnlcss, with useless ropes
dangling from shattered masts. The
deck was cleared and as another ene
my appeared, Griffith shouted, "Hoist
away of everything I" Fifty men flew
aloft upon tho spars and white can
vas was spread from every mast. The
frignto lunged ahead, but It could not
putstrlp Its rival, and the halt to give
battlo had enabfed tho ship of tho line
to draw up.
Then, for a few breathless moments,
tho Pilot leaped Into command. Break
ers loomed ahead, but ho drove tho
vessels straight Into tho shoals, Into
narrow passages whero whlto foam
bubbled perilously closo. Tho enemy
dared not follow, and when night fell
pursuit waB hopeless.
Colonel Howard, fatally wounded In
tho bnttlc, lived lona enough to seo Ce
cilia Howard and Kutlierlno Plowdon
wedded by tho chaplain to their lovors.
His last words were spoken tp Griffith.
"Perhaps I may havo mistaken my
duty to America but I was too old to
cbango my politics or my religion; I
I I loved tho king God bless Win "
The frignto drovo on to Holland,
whero ;tho Pilot landed In a email boat
that dwindled Into a black Hpeck and
disappeared In tho sotting sun. Twelve
years later Cecilia Griffith saw her hus
band's face cloud aa ho read In the
newspaper ot tho death of a, great man,
but not ovon then did ho dlvulgo his
namo. Ho had promised to keep it se
cret' He said only, "Our happiness
might havo been wrecked In tho voy
age of life had wo not met tho un
known Pilot pf tho German ocean."
