This treasure was brought to the United States by Captain de Booy, a young Dutch explorer, who has just arrived from a four months expedition in the West Indies. Captain de Booy found the "death god" in a cave where it had stood long before the days of Columbus. The natives were afraid of caves, and consequently it was never found. The explorer said "there is only one other in tbe world, that a female." fe-male." This one is a male, and is much larger than the other. |
