New Hampshire is in more than one sense the Switzerland of New England. The "Granite State" being naturally enough deficient in pudding-stone, its children are apt to wander southward in search of that deposit, in the unpetrified condition. Abel Stebbins was a good specimen of that extraordinary hybrid or mule between democracy and chrysocracy, a native-born New-England serving-man.
No power on earth except, perhaps, a glance from Elsie could have unpetrified Ian Macdonald at that moment. He stood in the half-crouching attitude of one about to spring over the cliff absolutely motionless with eyes, mouth, and nostrils wide open, as if to afford free egress to his spirit. Not until the bear had passed slowly out of sight behind the intervening bushes was he disenchanted.

Even if they did, is it likely that these bones would be preserved in the sand 750,000 years, or even 375,000 years according to a later estimate? We know that petrified skeletons, encased in rock, may be millions of years old, but where are the unpetrified skeletons of men who lived even 5,000 years ago? If unpetrified skeletons could last 750,000 years, there would be millions of them.
