...longest. The group includes rattlesnake, moccasin, copperhead, fer-de-lance. On the end of the bushmaster's tail is a slender horn, possibly a vestigial set of rattles. Like the rest of the family, it has a deep pit on either side of its big, blunt snout. It is the only member which lays eggs, usually nesting in deserted armadillo holes. It grows up to 12 ft. long.

It is the land of Aniakchak. world's largest active crater, within whose bliz-zard-beaten rim, 21 mi. around, a lesser volcano raises its snout and a placid lake nestles.

...Mayor Toole presented to Commander Alger Herman Dresel a silver service for the ship's wardroom.* Someone handed Mrs. Moffett a red-white-&-blue cord suspended from the airship. Declaiming "I christen thee Macon!", she yanked the cord. Two hatches in the underside of the Macon's snout flopped open, spilling out 48 alarmed pigeons which flapped excitedly about the dock. Thirty-four of the birds then streaked through the aperture of the great orange-peel doors. Outside, two of them (Miss Macon & Miss Georgia) detached themselves from the rest, bent a course for Macon 500 mi. away...
