Line 295:

The number 819 appears numerous times in the Marathon series. 819/7=117.

~~=== Early America ===~~

In the mid-1500s, '''John''' White, an English sailor, set out to make a colony in America. He set up a small town on Roanoke Island and left to go back to England whenever supplies ran low. Before his voyage to England, he told the citizens that if they moved, they were to write down the name of the local Indian tribe they moved closest to, and an "X" if they were attacked. He went back to England and left behind '''117''' people one time and when he came back, the town was deserted and on a nearby tree it said "CROATOAN." John knew where this was but there was a storm coming and his crew didn't want to get caught in it. The fate of the Roanoke citizens is still unknown.
