NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1926. ISLAND MONSTERS NOW BEING HUNTED Rmericans Searching for Cob- ham’s Dragons New York, Aug. 20 (A—The dra- gons which Alan Cobhams told about seeing on Komodo Island, near Bima, Australia, when he ar- rived at Port Darwin on his flight from England, have aroused scien- tific curiosity in London and word was recelved from the British capi- tal erday that an American cientific expedition is going to set out to capture some specimens of what had been previously regarded as linked with the legends of Saint George. Cobham said the monsters he be- held seemed to be the direct de: cendants of the prehistoric creatures | of mythical lpre, being about ten feet long and possessing huge claws, with which they were able to kill inimals as large as horses.

It is added that the natives cannot be blamed for their caution inas: uch as tha reptiles sometimes run down and kill the half-wild island ponies and have been seen to fight another over the car s of 1 boars they have slain, heir long yellow tongues and the alloped crests on their croups and tails and their habit of retiring at night to their holes and caves are in accord with the me ‘ieval tradi- tions of dragons as to apearance and tions.
