A band of Norse Vikings, con- sisting of 24 men and women, was following an old trail while travelling from east to west.
Professor Opsjon explains that, exhausted and thirsty, the Norsq
| trekkers came-to-a-spring-besides--
4trall, and there they camped."
The spring was not a large one, and soon the water was drained from it.
Then a party of Indians came along. Finding the spring water-. less, they immediately attacked the Norse adventurers in an effort to drive them away from the spring.
Grave and Grave-Stone.
The records left state that the Norse men put their seven women and a baby on top of the boulder, where they could not be reached by the Indians, and the Vikinga themselves stood about the base qi the boulder fighting the Indians. Twelve-of-the-Noresmen were killed; the others. escaped after two of their men had been cap-
tured.
Six of the women were taken" prisoners, while the seventh, wo- man, who had a baby in arms, was thrown from the top of the boul- der and killed.
Later, six of the Scandinavian survivors feturned to the spring. There they dug a grave near the rock and buried their dead who had been stripped by the In- dians.
It is added that the burial mound
is plainly visible.

PRINCE OF WALES JOINS IN LAUGH.
"The Prince of Wales recently visited the School for Welsh Girls nt Ashford (Middlesex), of which he is patron, and laid the founda- tion-stone of a new, assembly hall. Addressing the 180 girls, the Prince said a fund was started some years ago, thanks largely to the offorts of the Old Girls' Asso- ciation, and had now grown suf- ficiently to justify making a start with the new assembly hall. He added:
"A school is best judged, per haps, by the feeling which those educated there retain for it in after years. The Welsh Girls' School comes very well through. that test, for the Old Girls' As~`. sociation is a very vigorous or- ganisation, the members of which keep in closest possible touch with Ashford,"
Bishop Watkin Williams, trea- surer of, the school, observed that "the Prince of Wales has been patron of the school for 200 years. Looking at the alim figure on the platform, and noting the youth- fulness of the Prince's appearance, the girls burst into laughter, in which the Prince joined.
