N m y fourteenth year I read and reread
I w i t h the most incredible r a p i d i t y
Plato's account o f the existence and sub-
mergence o f the vast Island continent o f
A t l a n t i s , between A f r i c a and America.
Here Is a remarkable fact. I read
Plato's m a t t e r words from five to ten
times f f s t e r t h a n I would read In other
books, not f a a d n a t i n g . So trace o f doubt,

p o i n t i n g to a spot I n 1873.
T h e spot indicated was on the present
surface o f the site o f ancient ITfoy, the
classic c i t y o f Homer's I l i a d .
The men w o y k e d w i t h the excitement
a n d p a r t i a l enthusiasm of the great
archaeologist. They descended to the sec-
ond c i t y , and excavated the very treasure
bouse o f P r i a m of classic story. They ex-
humed an owl-headed vase o f beautifully
w r o u g h t bronze, o f great size, snd of de-
sign and shape h i t h e r t o u n k n o w n to the
Mediterranean countries. T h i s precious
vase was deposited i n a safe place, away
from fire, for I t bore an Inscription:
" F r o m K i n g Chronos o f A t l a n t i s . "
T h i s was the first time t h a t the word
A t l a n t i s had been found. Plato was con-
firmed so far as the name of the contlnept
at least.
I n 1883, ten years later. Schllemann
was I n the Louvre In Paris, and he dis-;
B u t the vase was from the ruined temple
of Tlahuanaca In C e n t r a l America. A n d
the contents o f both vases were Identical
l i t t l e figures, pottery, bone ornaments
and tbe like.

S O M E days before Schllemann died In
Naples, In 1890It was w i t h sadness
t h a t I read the account at the timehe
deposited a sealed envelope upon w h i c h he
had w r i t t e n :
" T h i s can only be opened by a member
o f m y f a m i l y who solemnly vows to de-
vote his life to the researches outlined
therein."
One hour before bis death he caller] for
paper and w i t h weakening hand w r o t e :
"Confidential a d d i t i o n to the sealed en-
velope. Break the owl-headed vase. Pay
attention to Its contents. I t concerns A t -
lantis. Investigate the east of the ruins
of the temple o f Sals and the cemetery of
the Chscuna Valley. Important. It
proves the system. N i g h t approaches

of death.
