FIND IN WALES.
KING ARTHUR'S CAVE. KNIGHT'S HIDING PLACE. SEARCH FOR RELICS. (Special.—By Air Mall.) LONDON, May 14. An 18-year-old colliery boy, William Lloyd, of Pontneathvaughan, Wales, has found a remarkable cave, which is believed to be the legendary hiding place of the followers of King Arthur and his Round Table Knights. Scientists, geologists and historians are flocking to the little country village near Aberdare, Glamorgan, where the discovery was made. Lloyd found an ivy-covered hole about a yard square near the Sychant Gorge. Not knowing what lay before him, and with only the light of a flash-lamp, he descended 50ft before he reached the floor of the cave. It stretched 200 yards to his right. On the left was a passage a hundred yards long, its walls sparkling with crystal and quartz. Long stalactites and stalagmites, some of them joined into tall pillars, were scattered in all parts. Lloyd believes there is another cave below where relics may be found of King Arthur and his knights. He is trying to get a diver's outfit to continue his explorations.
