than two hundred feet below him
stretched a broad snow-covered peak.
A lavatic, porous, bare space was vis­
ible through the snow, on the north­
eastern corner, and there he found
what he sought. The precious cirynlth
lay in heavy layers, almost perfectly
pure. The deposit was not as large
as the one in Hungary, but more eas­
ily obtainable, and it would be un­
necessary to go through a lot of pre­
liminary steps before they could carry
