Vo 1. SIX The JUNE 1935 Here floats a light all built of thought.” LEGEND of The LAHIAN ISLES By NELLE KELLY ■ Among the strange tales which have baffled the wisdom of Science for centuries, the story of the Lahian Isles remains shrouded in mystery. From neighboring coasts these islands are visible only twice a year — in June and in September — and it is said they cast a singular enchantment over the children of fishermen who live nearby on the downs of Lans. These curious children often explore the uncharted seas beyond the horizon where lie the Lahian Isles; and as they approach the islands, they can see that there are three of them lying close together and that the outlines of the most distant seem to recede into the clouds. At the entrance to the harbor of this strange port o' call there are massive portals inscribed in curious characters with the words, To Teach the Art of Living Well; and whoever passss under these portals is consumed with a burning desire for knowledge. To all skeptics, however, the harbor is a closed book. As they approach the isles, the enigmatical shores fade from view, leaving only the ghostly gleam of a lightship's blinkers and the washing of waves on invisible sands. These miniature continents are the abode of all that is young and eager — they are the home of imagination and poetry and the realm of Moby Dick. The inhabitants live in a world of contemplation; they dream away their time in cool, secluded grottoes, forgetful of mortal cares. Indeed, they are said to be immortal, but this is true only as long as they remain on the enchanted isles; for once they leave this port, unless they come in quest of more learning, they can in nowise enter again. There live also in these cool slate-lined caverns, a group of magi, Harbor Pilots, as they are called — those who have long followed after Truth, and who seek to lead others less fortunate. They have youthful followings to whom they impart their particular philosophy of Wisdom, for it is believed that thus a broader experience in learning is gained. Nor are the magi alone in this task. They are assisted by the Gov ernors of the Isles, the Port Captain, and the Chief Pilot who have ordained that the Por be closed to those who do not come in earnest pursuit of Knowledge and continue in the paths thereof. ■ As a new group of adventurous Landlubbers immigrates to the Lahian Isles each September, there departs also a group who have found to their satisfaction that which drew them thence. This group which emigrates each June is called Master Mariners because it has passed through the different stages of apprenticeship that are required by the laws of the islands. They are then licensed in steam to build their own craft and to navigate in their own guidance. 13
