"Less than thirty miles east of i Snlina, the Iilack sea port, is the | tir?y Island of Serpents, around which cling many fantastic legends I of fascinating interest as well as J several historical episodes which at one time threatened to become of international moment," says a bulletin issued by the National Geographic society. "It was to this island that Thetis, the marine goddess, is supposed to have carried the ashes of her son Achilles, hence the temple erected here in honor of the hero of the Trojan war. Another legend relates that Thetis snatched the body of Achilles from the funeral pyTe, that he was restored to life and that thereafter he lived on the island with Iphigcnia, the daughter of Agamemnon who had been saved from sacribce by the goddess Artemis. "One of the moat poetic descriptions of the island and its temple is given by Arrian in the account of his voyage around the Black 6ea in the second century of the Christian era. He wrote: "It is related that Thetis gave this island to Achilles and that he still inhabits it His temple and atatne, both of very ancient workmanship, are seen there. No hmnan being dwells on it It haa only a few goats which mariners convey to ? - e*? i-Vi.1 II as Toure onerwgtt. lucx uuuingB or sacred gifts are suspended in honor of Achilles, such as vases, rinira and nrecious ferns. " 'Sea birds, divers and fowl innumerable frequent the island and these birds alone have the care of the shrine. J2very morning they repair to the sea, and, dipping their wing in the waves, sprinkle the temple and afterward sweep with their plumage its sacred pavement' 'The name Island of Serpents grew out of the fact that numerous black snakes from four to five feet long were discovered here by mariners. Many of the reptiles are said to have fallen in the cisterns of the island and polluted the waters which are now undrinkable. It is interesting to recall in connection with the name of the island that Achilles was often referred to as 'the snake born,' and that his mother Thetis frequently assumed the form of a snake. "The Amazons are supposed 10 hare attempted to seize this island on one occasion, but the ghost of Achilles appeared and so terrified the horses of the female warriors that the riders were thown and severely trampled upon, whereupon the expedition was abandoned. "This meager rock brougHt England and Russia to the verge of war, following the treaty of peace which ended the Crimean conflict. The island was not mentioned in the terras of the treaty, and when Turkey sent a small party to relight the lighthouse which had been dark xl 1 x 1L, .x 1QK9_fi turougliuui iue suuggic ui iouu-u Russia attempted to take control of the beacon, which stands as a guidepost to the Danube's mouths.

The island passed into Roumanian hands wheD that nation threw off the Ottoman shackles in 1877."
