GlLSOX WlLLETS. Such an event as that related in theLrsula legend, had it really happened,could hardly have failed to be recorded inhistory. It is supposed that the statementthat eleven thousand perished arosethrough the error of some old-time trans-lator, who confounded the name of Lnde-cimilla. one of Ursulas attendants, withthe number undecem mittia (eleven thou-sand), and that the blunder so made hasbeen perpetuated through many centuries. 926 THE CHRISTIAN HERALD AND SIGNS OF OUR TIMES.
