The Tipping Up of the Earth Caused
the Deluge Which Engulfed the
World The Mysterioue Ark and the
Escape of the Chosen Few.
To this day the great deluge recorded
la the Bible la a mystery to the North
American ;hdlnn. n will not bo led
to bellevethat the flood was brought
about by the sins of man.- He Is
equally unwilling to believe that it was
the work of au angry God, as be cooia
not see how tho Almighty gbuuld be so
unjust as td punish - tile Indians of
America for the naughty thlngvof.a
race of people across tho ocenu. An
other reason which ninkes It si III more
difllcult for the Jndlun-to believe that
the- tlood was s . punishment' to (he
world U the fact that with lilirj there
Is 110 Bin. In bis language thoio Is no
such word, nor docs he expect to be
punished fur any of his lifts. yj
i But thonglr there Is no eipilvnlent (o
the word sin In tho Indian .language
fnor In the Indian 1 mind until the
Christians came), tho Indians have
their philosophy in regard to what is
commonly so termed. Some of their
teachers (most of whom claimed , to
have: been ,lniiglit 'Uioj phtloiiopliy of
life and Its laws directly by dlseiu-
bodied, spirit or by eUiereal beings
from i other i.pliiueU) . taught -.that as
man lives here so is his life hereafter
If be is qiiurrclsomoi ofl warlike here,
so ho will be In the morb spiritual life.
If he Is serene uml contented here, bo
he will be there, etc.
The deluge, ns described by the few
who were miraculously saved, wus Hie
more grandly terrible In that It came
on suddenly. From the hlghlnndB oo
oupliil by Hie Indiana they saw the
waves nf tho sea swoop In upon the
Innd mid recede, only to ndvaiice yA
Immensely Increased volume and sin
petulously huge breakers. Then there
eume n lorrilic storm that seeinoil to
blow from nil mid ill all directions.
The storm caused huge waleirpoiils
which appeared over the wild ocean
us far lis the eyo could see. The tel'rl
llej people tied to the moimliilns, bill
those were all sism to be submerged
with tho exception of one. This moun
tain which ulouo remained uncovered
by ; Hie tlood Is called Avee-hellali
(Momiluln or the Mooni, yet today It If
not 11 very high iiioiiiituln.
I''or awhile before tho mountains be
came submerged there wns 11 great
calm, ami 11 dense fog covered Hie
earth. Thin suddenly a inighly boal
appeared to the nwed view of, the 111
dlmis. It iipprom-hcd mid stopped (jil
llio several mountains Kt ill uni'ovu,'eij
by Hie wntera, and nt each point where
It tombed, ns If guided by Invisible hi

an unspoken but potent command, en
tere l the boat.
The boat rested llrst at a place culled
Avoe-qua-lul (mountain peaki, now l'l
lot Knob, on the border of Mexico
riiei'e was u imx'ii oil the top of this
uiomuuln, though at this day It iliw
not exist, nnd 011 thlo nicsii the Indians
first celebrated .their dell vary. TliJ'

which some of tho Indians believe were
made b.v those who survived the Hood.
Petrified driftwood Is t 111 to be neon
two-thirds the distance up the shies of
Avee helluli. which drift, the Indians
say, was deposited b.v the waves of the
irivat Hood '
The Indians, having rested for 11 lime
on the mountain peal;, again entered
the boat and were carried eastward,
eventually to n small valley. Here
they again rested, nnd then, leaving
the boat, they wandered from one pluve
to another, after n time returning to
llio valley. To their surprise, the boat
was gone. It could not have Honied
away, for tho laud wn dry wliuivon
they had left It. the Hood having sub
sided after a great culm of Its waters.
The boat could not buve crumbled to
pieces, for thero bad uot becu time for
Its decay. They could only conclude
Hint the mysterious boat, having fill
tilled Its mission, of preservlug a few
of their nice, bad disappeared ail mi
raculously as It bud appeared.
The spot wheru the mysterious boat,
or ark, had rested was marked by the
Indians placing there a huge log. They
culled tho place yuiil-Jo-pura (bout's
resting place). This spot Is held sacred
by the Indians, who will seldom point
It out to strangers. Not many hundred
years ago, It Is said, some Indian war
riors, were passing the spot, nnd one of
them to show his skepticism shot no
arrow Into the side of the great log.
laimodhitoly a stream of blood guahed
from Hie spot pierced, nnd the skeptic
fell dead. The story of the event wus
curried to nil the near tribes, and since
thou liulluns passing Hie place fear to
even look leisurely nt Hie log.
A reason given by the Indians as Hie
probable cause of the flood wns that
there was n trlbo of Indians who, llko
Columbus, believed Hint the earth was
not Hut, but round, and to prove wheth
er tills theory were true thousands
from the different tribes banded togeth
er and stinted out on a Journey to find
the edge of the earth if It wns flat.
The tlood occurred soon after the In
dians started on this Journey, so that
they really believed that tlnue adven
turers had readied the edge of the
earth and their weight hud tipped the
earth to such an extent ns to cause the
water to rush In on the liud. Loe An
