"It is said by the Indians that subterranean passages from this cavern reach to the ruined city of Chichen Itza 20 miles away. There is a tradition handed down amongst the modern Indians that during one of the innumerable internecine wars amongst the Maya which followed the breaking up of the central authority, after the Conquest of Mayapan, the inhabitants of a neighbouring village were driven to take refuge in this cave by a band of their enemies, who pursued them even into this last refuge, and that of neither pursued nor pursuers was any trace ever again seen.
