The Knife Thrower (2010)
“The origin of the passageways remains unclear. Although there is some evidence that they were known to the Indians who preceded the first white settlers, our historians are unable to decide whether the passageways are the result of natural process or whether they represent an ancient form of subterranean architecture. Our earliest records, which go back to 1646, the year of our incorporation, make mention of a “tunnel” or “cave” that is said to be located “under the ground.” The words have led ...some to argue that our passageways were originally a single long passage, to which later ones were added by deliberate design. Such evidence as we can gather neither refutes nor supports this hypothesis.

The darkness is dimly relieved by old-fashioned oil lamps in the shape of glass globes, which hang from brackets projecting from the walls at irregular intervals some fifteen feet above the ground.MoreLess
