ZEB DENNYr^^^"
We spent more money than we
could afford, we suffered fatigue,
we lost a lot of sleep, we played
host to hundreds of mosquitoes—
but the Lost Colony was worth it.
—o—
Setting, cast, choir, characteriza
tion, lighting, atmosphere were all
on a magnificent scale. With the
stars and the Milky Way over
head, with the sea-breezes bring
ing in the sounds of waves wash
ing against the sandy shore and
rustlini among the pines outside
the palisade, with music especially
composed for the occasion, one
could feel the blood of those hardy
and daring pioneers of the 1580’s
coursing realistically through his
body.
—o—
Beautiful and brave Eleanor
Dare, fatherly Governor White,
staunch but fair John Borden, lov
able and kindly Manteo, and the
betrayed Wanchese were again
walking the sands of Ro-an-oke
Island. And a place called Croatoan
was off there somewhere in the
southwest—a place of game and
plenty—just as surely as the Earth
itself existed.
John Borden loved the widow
Eleanor Dare, for they were kin
dred souls. The thinning ranks
of the colonists told the story of
fouled fishing nets, the shortage
of corn, and Indian massacre. And
Old Tom, a derelict picked up
from the slums of an English town,
ioved an Indian maiden and be
came a man. through the respon
sibility he had to assume in the
perpetuity of the colony.
And the little remaining group
of settlers started off into the
darkness, captained by John Bor
den now, for a place called Croa
toac where game abounded and In
dians were friendly. They began
their trek hopefully, but in fear
of the cruel Spaniards who had
anchored their galleons outside the
sound. They would build again,
they said, and carry on the dream
of establishing a new nation dedi
cated to peace and liberty.
•—-O——
Where did they stop and begin
a-new? Did they slip into the
mysteries of the unknown, giant
wilderness and travel far into the
mainland before they stopped a
gain? Did the Spaniards over
take them ? Did the remaining
Indians of Manteo's tribe betray
them and massacre them? Or
were they, during one of its sud
den squalls, swallowed up by the
sound?
