Yet emough has come to us of ths prison and cxecution place of nobility and royalty to ere- ate an Iresistible desire to visit it and Mquire into the ambitions and jealousies, the plots and treasons which have found thelr final scenes enacted upon the fatal block, the spot of which is still marked in the court-yard. The Tewer, which stands on banks of the Thames, was at, time an ancient fortiess. Its pre sent external appearance is. very unlike what it originally was, as no fortress of the same age has under- gone such 'a transformation, for it it now composed of an regular mass of buildings which fave ben erected at various periods, "surrounded by a battlemented wall and a deep .inoat which was drained about sev- enty years ago. The plan {is in the form of an Irregular pentagon, the whole fortress covering about thir- ten acres. The Tower, originated with William the Conqueror, and the oldest part of the fortress, the White Tower, was vegun in 1078 and was erected on a site previous- ly occupled by two bastions built by King Alfred in 885, and is said to owe its pame to the fact that it was whitewashed. 'The outdr walls, of the White Tower are about ff- teen feet thick. Its basement is & perfect chamber of horrors, for it has a number bf underground cells which were used to house political prisoners. One historian describes them as "unfit for dog kennels and as a disgrace to England." One ol them was known as 'Little Ease,' ironically so-called because it was the vilest prison in all Europe, be- ing so constructed that the occupant could neither stand upright nor lie at full length or even crawl about, A pipe connected the uncanny plaec with the moat and during high tide the unhappy prisoner who was lodged there was half drowned or devoured by the hungry rats driven into the cell by high water. Many political prisoners are said to have been "removed" by this means, for if left to "soak" in "Little Kase" for a few days death was certain and the body could be quietly re- moved at night. Guy Fawkes, of the Gunpowder Plot fame, spent his last days in this loathsome prison. Nearby "Little Ease" is the lar- ger cell where during the reign of King John several hundred Jews, men and women and children, were 'imprisoned until they ransomed themselves hy paying large sums of money to this tyrant or told where their hidden jewels were to be found. Tradition tells us that Sir Walter Raleigh occupled a cell in the White Tower for fourteen years and during that time wrote his His tory of the World, He also distill ed medical ¢ovdials. Close to the Raleigh prison was a large, vaulted semi-subterraneaun cell used for housing the rack and all its horrible necompaniments such as thumb- gerews, ete.' The 'thickness of the walls made it impossible for even the prisoners in the next cell to hear the cries of the poor creatures who went into' this awful chamber. The general public is excluded from this section of the 'Tower, but it can be visited by Eeting a special permit from the Constable of the Tower, The upper rooms in the White To- wer are at present used for housing a collection of old armor---interest- ing relics showing the armor used at different = periods throughout Europe.
