+
+
+ At first they thought the attack was a
+ joke. And then they realized the truth!
+
+
+At first the two scientists thought the Indian attack on them was a joke
+perpetrated by some of their friends. After all, modern Indians did not
+attack white men any more.
+
+Except that these did.
+
+George Arthbut and Sidney Hunt were both out of New York, on the staff
+of the Natural History Museum. George was an ethnologist who specialized
+in what could be reconstructed about the prehistoric Indians of North
+America, with emphasis on those of the Southwest. He was a tall, lean,
+gracious bald man in his early sixties.
+
+Sidney was an archeologist who was fascinated by the ruins of the same
+kind of ancient Indians. Medium-sized, with black hair that belied his
+sixty-five years, he and George made an excellent team, being the
+leaders in their field.
+
+They had come west on a particular bit of business this spring, trying
+to solve the largest question that remained about the old cliff dwellers
+and the prehistoric desert Indians, both of whom had deserted their
+villages and gone elsewhere for reasons that remained a mystery.
+
+One theory was that drought had driven them both away. Another theory
+ran to the effect that enemies wiped them out or made off with them as
+captives. Still another supposition, at least for the Hohokam desert
+people, the builders of Casa Grande whose impressive ruins still stood
+near Coolidge, had to do with their land giving out so they could no
+longer grow crops, forcing them to go elsewhere to find better soil.
+
+No one really knew. It was all pure guesswork.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The two scientists meant to spend the entire summer trying to solve this
+riddle for all time, concentrating on it to the exclusion of everything
+else. They drove west in a station wagon stuffed with equipment and
+tracking a U-Haul-It packed with more.
+
+George drove, on a road that was only two sand tracks across the wild
+empty desert between Casa Grande Monument and Tonto National Monument
+where cliff dwellers had lived. It was here, not far ahead, in new ruins
+that were being excavated, that they hoped to solve the secret of the
+exodus of the prehistoric Indians. The place was known as the Hohokam
+Dig.
+
+They topped a rise of ground and came to the site of the dig. Here the
+sand tracks ended right in the middle of long trenches dug out to reveal
+thick adobe walls. In the partially bared ruins the outline of a small
+village could be seen; the detailed excavation would be done this summer
+by workmen who would arrive from Phoenix and Tucson.
+
+George stopped their caravan and the two men got out, stretching their
+legs. They looked about, both more interested in the dig, now they were
+back at it, than setting up camp. They walked around, examining various
+parts of it, and the excitement of the promise of things to be
+discovered in the earth came to them. "This summer we'll learn the
+answer," Sidney predicted.
+
+With skeptical hope George replied, "Maybe."
+
+It was early afternoon when they set up camp, getting out their tent
+from the U-Haul-It. They took out most of their gear, even setting up a
+portable TV set run on batteries brought along. They worked efficiently
+and rapidly, having done this many times before and having their
+equipment well organized from long experience. By the middle of the
+afternoon all was ready and they rested, sitting on folding chairs at a
+small table just outside the opening of their tent.
+
+Looking around at the dig Sidney remarked, "Wouldn't it be easy if we
+could talk to some of the people who once lived here?"
+
+"There's a few questions I'd like to ask them," said George. "I
+certainly wish we had some to talk with."
+
+He had no more than uttered this casual wish than there sounded, from
+all sides of where they sat, screeching whoops. The naked brown men who
+suddenly appeared seemed to materialize from right out of the
+excavations. As they yelled they raised their weapons. The air was
+filled, for an instant, with what looked like long arrows. Most of them
+whistled harmlessly past the two scientists, but one hit the side of the
+station wagon, making a resounding thump and leaving a deep dent, while
+two buried themselves in the wood of the U-Haul-It and remained there,
+quivering.
+
+George and Sidney, after the shock of their first surprise at this
+attack, leaped to their feet.
+
+"The car!" cried Sidney. "Let's get out of here!"
+
+They both started to move. Then George stopped and grabbed Sidney's arm.
+"Wait!"
+
+"Wait?" Sidney demanded. "They'll kill us!"
+
+"Look," advised George, indicating the red men who surrounded them; they
+now made no further move of attack.
+
+George gazed about. "Oh," he said, "you think somebody's playing a joke
+on us?"
+
+"Could be," said George. He ran one hand over his bald head.
+
+"Some dear friends," Sidney went on, resenting the scare that had been
+thrown into them, "hired some Indians to pretend to attack us?"
+
+"Maybe Pimas," said George. He peered at the Indians, who now were
+jabbering among themselves and making lamenting sounds as they glanced
+about at the ruins of the ancient village. There were eighteen of them.
+They were clad in nothing more than a curious cloth of some kind run
+between their legs and up and over a cord about their waists, to form a
+short apron, front and back.
+
+"Or Zunis," said Sidney.
+
+"Maybe Maricopas," said George.
+
+"Except," Sidney observed, "none of them look like those kind of
+Indians. And those arrows they shot." He stared at the two sticking in
+the U-Haul-It. "Those aren't arrows, George--they're atlatl lances!"
+
+"Yes," said George.
+
+Sidney breathed, "They aren't holding bows--they've got atlatls!"
+
+"No modern Indian of any kind," said George, "uses an atlatl."
+
+"Most of them wouldn't even know what it was," Sidney agreed. "They
+haven't been used for hundreds of years; the only place you see them is
+in museums."
+
+An atlatl was the weapon which had replaced the stone axe in the stone
+age. It was a throwing stick consisting of two parts. One was the lance,
+a feathered shaft up to four feet long, tipped with a stone point. The
+two-foot flat stick that went with this had a slot in one end and two
+rawhide finger loops. The lance end was fitted in the slot to be thrown.
+The stick was an extension of the human arm to give the lance greater
+force. Some atlatls had small charm stones attached to them to give
+them extra weight and magic.
+
+Charm stones could be seen fastened to a few of the atlatls being held
+by the Indians now standing like bronze statues regarding them.
+
+George whispered, "What do you make of it?"
+
+"It isn't any joke," replied Sidney. He gazed tensely at the Indians.
+"That's all I'm sure of."
+
+"Have you noticed their breechclouts?"
+
+Sidney stared again. "They aren't modern clouts. George, they're right
+out of Hohokam culture!"
+
+"They aren't made of cloth, either. That's plaited yucca fibre."
+
+"Just like we've dug up many times. Only here ..." George faltered.
+"It's being worn by--by I don't know what."
+
+"Look at their ornaments."
+
+Necklaces, made of pierced colored stones, hung about many of the brown
+necks. Shell bracelets were to be seen, and here and there a carved
+piece of turquoise appeared.
+
+"Look at the Indian over there," George urged.
+
+Sidney looked to the side where George indicated, and croaked, "It's a
+girl!"
+
+It was a girl indeed. She stood straight and magnificent in body
+completely bare except for the brief apron at her loins. Between her
+beautiful full copper breasts there hung a gleaming piece of turquoise
+carved in the shape of a coyote.
+
+At her side stood a tall young Indian with a handsome face set with
+great pride. On her other side was a wizened little old fellow with a
+wrinkled face and ribs corrugated like a saguaro.
+
+Sidney turned back and demanded, "What do you make of this? Are we
+seeing things?" Hopefully, he suggested, "A mirage or sort of a mutual
+hallucination?"
+
+In a considered, gauging tone George replied, "They're real."
+
+"Real?" cried Sidney. "What do you mean, real?"
+
+"Real in a way. I mean, Sidney, these--I sound crazy to myself saying
+it--but I think these are--well, Sid, maybe they're actual prehistoric
+Indians."
+
+"Huh?"
+
+"Well, let's put it this way: We asked for them and we got them."
+
+Sidney stared, shocked at George's statement. "You're crazy, all right,"
+he said. "Hohokams in the middle of the Twentieth Century?"
+
+"I didn't say they're Hohokams, though they probably are, of the village
+here."
+
+"You said they're prehistoric," Sidney accused. He quavered, "Just how
+could they be?"
+
+"Sid, you remember in our Indian studies, again and again, we meet the
+medicine man who has visions. Even modern ones have done things that are
+pretty impossible to explain. I believe they have spiritual powers
+beyond the capability of the white man. The prehistoric medicine men may
+have developed this power even more. I think the old man there is their
+medicine man."
+
+"So?" Sidney invited.
+
+"I'm just supposing now, mind you," George went on. He rubbed his bald
+pate again as though afraid of what thoughts were taking place under it.
+"Maybe way back--a good many hundreds of years ago--this medicine man
+decided to have a vision of the future. And it worked. And here he is
+now with some of his people."
+
+"Wait a minute," Sidney objected. "So he had this vision and transported
+these people to this moment in time. But if it was hundreds of years ago
+they're already dead, been dead for a long time, so how could they--"
+
+"Don't you see, Sid? They can be dead, but their appearance in the
+future--for them--couldn't occur until now because it's happened with us
+and we weren't living and didn't come along here at the right time until
+this minute."
+
+Sidney swallowed. "Maybe," he muttered, "maybe."
+
+"Another thing," George said. "If we can talk with them we can learn
+everything we've tried to know in all our work and solve in a minute
+what we're ready to spend the whole summer, even years, digging for."
+
+Sidney brightened. "That's what we wanted to do."
+
+George studied the Indians again. "I think they're just as surprised as
+we are. When they discovered themselves here and saw us--and you must
+remember we're the first white men they've ever seen--their immediate
+instinct was to attack. Now that we don't fight back they're waiting for
+us to make a move."
+
+"What do we do?"
+
+"Take it easy," advised George. "Don't look scared and don't look
+belligerent. Look friendly and hope some of the modern Indian dialects
+we know can make connection with them."
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The two scientists began, at a gradual pace, to make their way toward
+the old man, the young man, and the girl. As they approached, the girl
+drew back slightly. The young man reached over his shoulder and from the
+furred quiver slung on his back drew an atlatl lance and fitted it to
+his throwing stick, holding it ready. The other warriors, all about,
+followed suit.
+
+The medicine man alone stepped forward. He held up a short colored stick
+to which bright feathers were attached and shook it at the two white
+men. They stopped.
+
+"That's his aspergill," observed Sidney. "I'd like to have that one."
+
+The medicine man spoke. At first the scientists were puzzled, then
+George told Sidney, "That's Pima, or pretty close to it, just pronounced
+differently. It probably shows we were right in thinking the Pimas
+descended from these people. He wants to know who we are."
+
+George gave their names. The medicine man replied, "The man who has
+white skin instead of red speaks our language in a strange way. I am
+Huk." He turned to the young man at his side and said, "This is Good
+Fox, our young chief." He indicated the girl. "That is Moon Water, his
+wife."
+
+George explained what he and the other white man with him were doing
+here. Huk, along with all the other Indians, including Good Fox and Moon
+Water, listened intently; they seemed greatly excited and disturbed.
+
+When George was finished Good Fox turned to Huk and said, "You have
+succeeded, wise one, in bringing us forward, far in the future to the
+time of these men with white skins."
+
+"This is the truth," said the wrinkled Huk; he did not boast but rather
+seemed awed.
+
+Moon Water spoke in a frightened tone. She looked about at the partially
+excavated ruins and asked, "But what has happened to our village?" She
+faltered, "Is this the way it will look in the future?"
+
+"It is the way," Good Fox informed her sorrowfully.
+
+"I weep for our people," she said. "I do not want to see it." She hung
+her pretty face over her bare body, then, in a moment, raised it
+resolutely.
+
+Good Fox shook the long scraggly black hair away from his eyes and told
+the white men, "We did not mean to harm you. We did not know what else
+to do upon finding you here and our village buried."
+
+Ignoring that in his excited interest, Sidney asked, "What year are
+you?"
+
+"Year?" asked Good Fox. "What is this word?"
+
+Both Sidney and George tried to get over to him what year meant in
+regard to a date in history, but Good Fox, Huk, and Moon Water, and none
+of the others could understand.
+
+"We do not know what you mean," Huk said. "We know only that we live
+here in this village--not as you see it now--but one well built and
+alive with our people. As the medicine man I am known to have extra
+power and magic in visions. Often I have wondered what life would be
+like in the far future. With this group I conjured up a vision of it,
+carrying them and myself to what is now here before us."
+
+George and Sidney glanced at each other. George's lips twitched and
+those of Sidney trembled. George said softly to the Indians, "Let us be
+friends." He explained to them what they were doing here. "We are trying
+to find out what you were--are--like. Especially what made you desert
+people leave your villages."
+
+They looked blank. Huk said, "But we have not left--except in this
+vision."
+
+In an aside to George, Sidney said, "That means we've caught them before
+they went south or wherever they went." He turned back to Huk. "Have
+the cliff people yet deserted their dwellings?"
+
+Huk nodded solemnly. "They have gone. Some of them have joined us here,
+and more have gone to other villages."
+
+"We have read that into the remains of your people, especially at Casa
+Grande," Sidney told him. With rising excitement in his voice he asked,
+"Can you tell us why they left?"
+
+Huk nodded. "This I can do."
+
+Now the glance of Sidney and George at each other was quick, their eyes
+lighting.
+
+"I'll take it down on the typewriter," Sidney said. "Think of it! Now
+we'll know."
+
+He led Huk to the table set in front of the tent, where he brought out a
+portable typewriter and opened and set it up. He sat on one chair, and
+Huk, gingerly holding his aspergill before him as though to protect
+himself, sat on the other.
+
+Good Fox, Moon Water and the other Indians crowded about, curious to see
+the machine that came alive under Sidney's fingers as Huk began to
+relate his story. Soon their interest wandered in favor of other things
+about the two men with white skin. They wanted to know about the machine
+with four legs.
+
+George opened up the hood of the station wagon and showed them the
+engine. He sat in the car and started the motor. At the noise the
+Indians jumped back, alarmed, and reaching for their atlatls. Moon Water
+approached the rear end of the car. Her pretty nose wrinkled at the
+fumes coming from it and she choked, drawing back in disgust. "It is
+trying to kill me," she said.
+
+Clearly, she did not approve of an automobile.
+
+George cut off its engine.
+
+Over Good Fox's shoulder hung a small clay water jug hung in a plaited
+yucca net. George asked for a drink from it and when he tasted it and
+found it fresh it was wondrous to him that its water was hundreds of
+years old. He brought out a thermos, showing the Indians the modern
+version of carrying water. They tasted of its contents and exclaimed at
+its coolness. Good Fox held the thermos, admiring it.
+
+"Would you like to have it?" asked George.
+
+"You would give it to me?" the handsome young Indian asked.
+
+"It's yours."
+
+"Then I give you mine." He gave George his clay water jug and could not
+know how much more valuable it was than the thermos.
+
+George then took them to the portable television set and turned it on.
+When faces, music, and words appeared the Indians jerked back, then
+jabbered and gathered closer to watch. A girl singer, clad in a gown
+that came up to her neck, caused Moon Water to inquire, "Why does she
+hide herself? Is she ashamed?"
+
+The standards of modesty, George reflected as he glanced at the lovely
+nude form of the prehistoric Indian girl, change with the ages.
+
+Of the people and noises on the TV screen Good Fox wanted to know quite
+solemnly, "Are these crazy people? Is it the way you treat your people
+who go crazy?"
+
+George laughed. "You might say it's something like that."
+
+A shout came from Sidney at the card table near the tent where he was
+taking down Huk's story. "George! He's just told me why the cliff people
+left! And why the desert people will have to leave in time. It's a
+reason we never thought of! It's because--"
+
+Just then a big multi-engined plane came over, drowning out his words.
+The Indians stared skyward, now in great alarm. They looked about for a
+place to run and hide, but there was none. They held their hands over
+their ears and glanced fearfully at the TV which now spluttered, its
+picture and sound thrown off by the plane. Awesomely, they waited until
+the plane went over.
+
+"We fly now in machines with wings," George explained.
+
+"To make such a noise in the air," Moon Water said, "is wicked,
+destroying all peace."
+
+"I'll agree with you there," said George.
+
+"You have this," Good Fox observed, indicating the TV, which was now
+back to normal, "and you send the other through the sky to make it
+crazier than before." He shook his head, not comprehending.
+
+George shut off the TV. He took up a camera of the kind that
+automatically finishes a picture in a minute's time. Grouping Good Fox,
+Moon Water and the other warriors, he took their picture, waited, then
+pulled it out and showed it to them.
+
+They cried out, one man shouting in fear, "It is great magic!"
+
+George took a number of photographs, including several of Huk as he sat
+talking with Sidney. No matter what happened he would have this record
+as Sidney would have that he was taking down on the typewriter.
+
+Next he showed them a pair of binoculars, teaching them how to look
+through them. They exclaimed and Good Fox said, "With this we could see
+our enemies before they see us."
+
+"You have enemies?" George asked.
+
+"The Apache," Good Fox said fiercely.
+
+George handed him the binoculars. "It is yours to use against the
+Apache."
+
+Solemnly the young chief answered, "The man with white skin is thanked.
+The red man gives in return his atlatl and lances." He held out his
+throwing stick and unslung his quiver of lances. George accepted them
+with thanks; they would be museum pieces.
+
+Finally George showed them a rifle. He looked about for game and after
+some searching saw a rabbit sitting on a mound in the excavations. As
+he took aim Good Fox asked, "You would hunt it with your stick?"
+
+George nodded.
+
+"This cannot be done from here," stated one warrior.
+
+George squeezed the trigger. Instantaneously with the explosion of the
+shell the rabbit jumped high and then came down, limp and dead. The
+Indians yelled with fright and ran off in all directions. Huk jumped up
+from the table. Then all stopped and cautiously returned. One went to
+the rabbit and picked it up, bringing it back. All, including Huk who
+left the table, stared with fright at it and at the rifle.
+
+Moon Water expressed their opinion of it. "The thunder of the killing
+stick is evil."
+
+"Moon Water speaks the truth," said Huk.
+
+"It would make hunting easy," said Good Fox, "but we do not want it even
+if given to us."
+
+He drew back from the rifle, and the others edged away from it.
+
+George put it down.
+
+Sidney held up a sheaf of papers. "I've got it all, George," he said
+exultantly in English, "right here! I asked Huk if they can stay with us
+in our time, at least for a while. We can study them more, maybe even
+take them back to show the world."
+
+"What did he say?"
+
+"He didn't have a chance to reply when you shot the rifle."
+
+George put it formally to the Indians, addressing Huk, Good Fox, Moon
+Water and the rest. "You have seen something of the modern world. We
+would like you to stay in it if it is your wish. I don't know how long
+you could stay in Huk's vision, but if you can remain here permanently
+and not go back to your time and--well, not being alive there any
+more--we hope you will consider this."
+
+Huk replied, "It is possible that we could stay in your time, at least
+as long as my vision lasts, which might be for as long as I lived." He
+glanced at Good Fox.
+
+The young chief in turn looked at Moon Water. Her gaze went to the
+station wagon, to the TV, then up at the sky where the plane had
+appeared, at the rifle, the camera, the thermos, and all else of the
+white man. She seemed to weigh their values and disadvantages, looking
+dubious and doubtful.
+
+Good Fox announced, "We will hold a council about it. As is our custom,
+all have words to say about such a thing."
+
+Abruptly he led his people away, into the excavations and over a slight
+rise of ground, behind which they disappeared.
+
+Sidney murmured, "I don't like that so much."
+
+"They must do as they want." George led the way to the card table and
+they sat there. On it rested Huk's aspergill.
+
+"He gave it to me," Sidney explained.
+
+George placed Good Fox's netted clay water jug and his atlatl and furred
+quiver of lances on the table, together with the pictures he had taken
+of the ancient Indians. They waited.
+
+Sidney, glancing at the low hill behind which the Indians had gone,
+said, "What they're doing is choosing between living in modern
+civilization and remaining dead. What do you think they'll do?"
+
+"I don't know," said George. "They didn't think so much of us."
+
+"But they couldn't choose death and complete oblivion!"
+
+"We'll see."
+
+They waited some more.
+
+"At least," said Sidney, indicating the articles on the table, "we'll
+have these for evidence." He held up the sheaf of papers containing
+Huk's story. "And this, giving the real reason the cliff dwellers left.
+I haven't told you what it was, George. It's so simple that--"
+
+He didn't complete his sentence, for just then Huk, Good Fox, Moon
+Water, and the other warriors made their choice. It was announced
+dramatically.
+
+The water jug, the aspergill, and the atlatl and quiver of lances
+disappeared from the table. In their places, suddenly, there were the
+thermos and the binoculars.
+
+Sidney stared stupidly at them.
+
+George said quietly, "They've gone back."
+
+"But they can't do this!" George protested.
+
+"They have."
+
+Sidney's hand shook as he picked up the sheaf of papers holding Huk's
+story. Indicating it and the photographs, he said, "Well, they haven't
+taken these away."
+
+"Haven't they?" asked George. He picked up some of the pictures. "Look."
+
+Sidney looked and saw that the pictures were now blank. His glance went
+quickly to the typewritten sheets of paper in his hands. He cried out
+and then shuffled them frantically.
+
+They, too, were blank.
+
+Sidney jumped up. "I don't care!" he exclaimed. "He told me and I've got
+it here!" He pointed to his head. "I can remember it, anyway."
+
+"Can you?" asked George.
+
+"Why, certainly I can," Sidney asserted confidently. "The reason the
+cliff dwellers left, George, was that they ..." Sidney stopped.
+
+"What's the matter, Sid?"
+
+"Well, I--it--I guess it just slipped my mind for a second." His brow
+puckered. He looked acutely upset and mystified. "Huk told me," he
+faltered. "Just a minute ago I was thinking of it when I started to tell
+you. Now ... I can't remember."
+
+"That's gone, too."
+
+"I'll get it!" Sidney declared. "I've just forgotten it for a minute.
+I'll remember!"
+
+"No," said George, "you won't."
+
+Sidney looked around. "There must be something left." He thought. "The
+atlatl lances they shot at us!" He looked at the U-Haul-It. The lances
+no longer stuck in its side. Nor were those that had fallen to the
+ground to be seen.
+
+Sidney sat down again, heavily. "We had it all," he moaned. "Everything
+we'd been working for. And now ..."
+
+"Now we'll have to dig for it again," said George. "Do it the hard way.
+We'll start tomorrow when the workmen come."
+
+Sidney looked up. "There's one thing!" he cried. "The dent in the car
+made by the lance! It's still there, George! However everything else
+worked, that was forgotten. It's still there!"
+
+George glanced at the dent in the side panel of the station wagon. "It's
+still there," he agreed. "But only to tell us this wasn't a dream. No
+one else would believe it wasn't caused by a rock."
+
+George groaned. He stared at the rise of ground behind which the Indians
+had disappeared. "Huk," he pleaded. "Good Fox. Moon Water. The others.
+Come back, come back ..."
+
+No one appeared over the rise of ground as the cool desert night began
+to close in.

+Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no
+one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation
+(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without
+permission and without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules,
+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to
+protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark.  Project
+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
+rules is very easy.  You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose
+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
+research.  They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do
+practically ANYTHING with public domain eBooks.  Redistribution is

+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be

+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in

+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or

+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning

+States.

+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal

+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER

+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
