THE SECOND DELUGE
By
Garrett P. Serviss
1912



[Illustration: "THEY MEANT TO CARRY THE ARK WITH A RUSH" [Page 106] ]

FOREWORD

What is here set down is the fruit of long and careful research among
disjointed records left by survivors of the terrible events described.
The writer wishes frankly to say that, in some instances, he has
followed the course which all historians are compelled to take by using
his imagination to round out the picture. But he is able conscientiously
to declare that in the substance of his narrative, as well as in every
detail which is specifically described, he has followed faithfully the
accounts of eyewitnesses, or of those who were in a position to know the
truth of what they related.
