are clambering up tho side ol tho cone
nmid piofouud silence; tho next mo
incut, as your head rises above tLa
crater lip, you encounter a roar nnd n
bhuu which makes you shrink back a
little. This stirprlso Is occasioned. I
suppose, by tho forinntlol the crater.
Il Is n lingo bowl which come up to
inito n sharp lip. about hall a mlli. In
diameter nud some hundred vards in
depth. Towaid tho bottom of tho bowl,
on tho opposite side ol whero we stood,
wns n great hole, from which all tho
projectiles ol the eruption were "shop,
tho urfaco ol tho bowl bcinL' comnos
cd of lumps of lava, stones nnd cindors,
all ol them smeared with sulphur, pie-
cisciy like thosu upon which wo were
standing.
A too mount the eono there I be
tween you mid (hu gull nil enormous
wall, which dulls ovuryUiiiur alike -lor
eyu nnd car. Even whilu on the steer'
of tho cone itself you might Im unaware
that tho mountain was disturbed, Dut
n siii'-lo step seem almost enouah to
transfer you from thu most deathlike
stillness to the grandest exhibition of
force it is possible to cquceive. Instead
of tho monotonous dull blaek ot con
gealed lava on tho lower levels, yoa
havu the deep biiuk red of stones that
hnvu been under thu actiun ol fire, tho
brightest vorinillion, nud ovcry Imag
inable shndo ot orange nnd yellow thill
sulphurous deposits arc capable of tak
ing.' Theground is hot, too; so hot, in
deed that you eannot keep your foot on
tho same spot for mnny seconds together
Between tho chinks of tho stones you
can sco that ft few Inejies below tho
surfaco it is actunllv red hot. You
thrust in tho end of your stick forn mo
ment nnd you pull it ont charred.
Over all tho farther half of tho cra
ter thcro hangs n dense cloud ol sinoko
ni.d vapor; all around you thero is nn
atmosphero of sulphur which sets you
to coughing; from numberless small
Holes about your feet thorc issues, with
a hiss, sulphurous jets of steam which
nearly choko you as you pas ovtrthera':
and thon, ns you look down into ;ths
actual uoyss, you nro laoe to taco Wjtn
tho most appalling phenomena, both oi
sight and sound, which, perhaps, the
whole of Europo has to offer. Among'
tho crowd ol strange sensations that
nro experienced at such a tlmo, the phe
nomena oi sound a.- perhaps tho asost
wor-derful oi all, What tteots'lhe ee
is, V anything, evert more terrhte taasi
what moots tho eye. Even to gjsjsai'
tho eruption is Dotysmt whatrtfeo insesx
inatiou paints it beforehand. t'
