'Discovery of ancient books, manuscripts, etc., relating to Atlantis. Apparently, Thomas Maitland, when shipwrecked on an island, called Inisturk, off Mayo, in Ireland, found a wooden chest of rare workmanship he had seen, he says, similar ones in Egypt and Yucatan containing some very ancient books curiously bound, and some vellum manuscripts, which, after an infinite amount of labour, he managed to translate.
It was Tat-Nuada, an Atlantean deity, elaborately described in one of the burned books. "Here, then, to my unutterable joy, was strong corroborative evidence of the great disaster narrated in detail in the manuscripts I had found in Inisturk Island. The existence of Atlantis was now thoroughly substantiated. On all sides of me I stumbled across further evidences of these early settlers.
On a few leaves, somewhat clumsily inserted between the cover and first page of the book, Hamar read an account, presumably in the author's own penmanship, of how he, Thomas Maitland, after being shipwrecked, had remained on Inisturk Island for a fortnight before being rescued, and had spent the greater portion of that time in examining the books, etc., in the chest he had found his only food shell-fish and a keg of mildewy ship's biscuits.
