I Ail Iki t$$M VESUVIUS h y Hi Account - of 7 th Flight From MLeenurn Might Hart Bew Writ- , ten of Today's Reign of Terror on ..'the Bay of Naples. y This la probably the only eyewitness' ' account of the first eruption or. Vesuvius, , which up to 71 A. D. was supposed- be an extinct volcano. . ' "'", About 1 o'clock In the afternoon of Auruit A. D. 71, the alder Pliny was oallad by. his slater-ln-law to tha window of hla rasidenco at lilsecum, on tha Bay of Naples, to observe a eurloua cloud across tha bay.' It rose from the 7 summlt of TeauTlus like a stone-pine O with a lofty trunk . and a cluster of - branches at the top, continually vary , Ins la height and of a changing hue. sometimes fiery bright, . sometimes " ': streaked with black. The alder Pliny want to Investigate tha phenomenon and perlahed la the volcanic tempest which followed. The , . younger Pliny, his nephew, tells the ' ' story of tha eruption, aa an eyewitness, ' 'T and it Is upon his account that Tacitus, the historian, bases s)ls description of '", . the event, i Bulwer-Lytton, who makes - the eruption the feature of "The Last Days of - Pompeii," follows Pliny's ao- - eonnt closely. Tha younger - Pliny's i -story, mad up from twa letters, - fot .. ' lows: . - -- ' srat,-'ftft '' "' There had been noticed for many ' days before a trembling of tha earth, - which had caused, however, but little fear, because It Is not unusual In -Campania. tBut that night It was so violent ' that one thought that everything was being not merely moved but absolutely - overturned. My mother rushed Into my . , chamber. I was in tha act of rising, with tha same Intention .of awakening . her should she have been asleep, We ' sat down In tha - open court of the house. which occupied a small space . between the buildings and tha sea. And - now I do nor know whether to call 'It courage or folly, for I was but In my eighteenth year- I called for a volume of Uvy, read It. as if I were perfectly at leisure, and even continued to make " some extracts which I had began. Just then arrived a friend of my uncle, who had lately coma - to him from Spain, . When he saw that we ware sitting down '. that I was even reading ha rebuked my mother for her patience and ma for ' my bllndneaa to the danger. 8tlll I bent myself as industriously as ever over my .. book. -It was now t o'clock in the morn ing, but the daylight wan-- still and . doubtful. The surrounding buildings were now so shattered that in tha place - where we were, which though open was small, the" danger that they might rau on us was imminent and unmistakable. 80 we at last determined to quit the ; - town. : - - . .. . - - Panlo-atrtckea Crowd. " ' "A panic-stricken crowd followed us. They preferred the ideas of others to their own In a moment of terror this has a certain look of prudence and they pressed on us and drove ua on. aa ' we departed, by their dense array. When ' we had got away from the building we - stopped. - There we had to- endure the : sight of many marvelous, many dread , f ul things. The carriages which ws had directed to be brought out moved about in opposite directions, though the . ground was perfectly level; even when 7- scotched -with stones they -did not re main steady In the same place. Be sides this, we saw the sea retire into v Itself, seeming, as It were, to be driven :' back by the trembling movement of the earth. . The shore had distinctly ad - vanoed, and many marine animals were ' left high and dry upon tha sands. Be hind as was a dark and dreadful cloud, - which, as It was broken with rapid " algsag flashes, revealed behind It vart- oualy ahaped masses of flame; these last- were like sheet lightning, .though on a larger scale. .. - - . . , Bala of Ashes. ':'.. 1 "Then our . friend 1 from Spain ad- - dressed ua . more energetically and ' " urgently than ever. '. 'If your brother.' he said. It your uncle Is alive, he wishes you to be saved; If he has perished, he certainly wished yon to survive him. If - so, why do you hesitate to escape T - We ; " answered that we could not bear to think - about our own safety while we were doubtful of his. He lingered no longer, but rushed off, making hla way out of - the danger at the top 01 his speed... it was not long before tb cloud that we r saw began to descend upon the earth ; and cover the sea. It bad already sur ' rounded and concealed the island of , Capri and had made Invisible the prom - - ontory of Misenum. - - My- mother be- - sought, urged, even commanded me to ' fly as best I could; I might do so, she V said, . for I was "young; she, from age ' and corpulence, could move but slowly, but she would be content to die, if she : did not bring death upon me.. I replied , that I would not seek safety except in , her company; I clasped her hand and ' compelled her to go with me. She re luctantly obeyed, but continually re preached herself tor delaying me. -" V aright Under the Volcano. ' "Ashes began to fall etlll, however. '-T in small quantities. 1 looked behtnd me; a dens dark mist seemed to be ; 1 olowtng -us, spreading Itself over the , country like a cloud. " "Let us turn out of the way t said, 'whilst' we can stlU . see, for fear that should- we fall In the road we should be trodden under foot la the darkness by the throngs that ao -'-company us.' - Ws had scarcely sat down . when night wss upon us not such as ' we have when there Is no moon, or when , the sky Is cloudy, but such as there Is - In -some closed room when- the lights . are extinguished. ' Tom might hear the ." shrieks of women; the monotonous wall n Ing of children, the shouts of men. , Many were raising their voices and seek ing to recognise by the voices that re plied, parents, children, husbands or ' wives. Borne were loudly lamenting i their own fate, others the fate of those ': dear to them. - Some even prayed for . death, in their fear of what they prayed for. Many lifted their hands in prayer to the gods; mors were convinced that there were no gods at all. and that the '. final and less night of which we have - heard had come upon the world. "There were not wanting persons who exaggerated our real perils with ter , rora Imaginary or wilfully Invented. I ', remember some who declared that one part of tha promontory of Mleenum had ' fallen, that another was on fir : It was false, but they found people to believe ' them. It now grew somewhat light again; wa felt euro that this was not the light of day, but a proof that fire ' was approaching ua . Flra there was, - 'but It stopped at a considerable distance from ua: then came darkness again, and - a thick heavy fall of ashes.

At last the black mist that I had spoken of seemed to shade off Into emoke or cloud and to roll away. Then came genuine daylight and the snn shone out with a lurid light, such as it 1 wont to have In an eclipse. "Our eyes, which - had ' not yet re covered from the effects, of fear, saw everything changed, everything covered deep with ashee aa If with anow. - We returned te Mlaenum, and, after refresh ing ourselves ss best we could, spent a night of anxiety In mingled hope and fear.
