were refievted in the glasy euriai e of a

grew, pensive and forlorn, a few scrubby
trees. On my left an aggregation of
long low buildings wish gia-s roof,
that looked with their shining backs
like monstrous, crouching dragons of
antediluvian days. Far.hercp the val
ley was another group of building
wrapped in a cloud of steam. In, me
diately before me was a ruined mill,
onrooied and gaunt, w ith its bell tower
and its tail, cold chimney outline:
against the sky; behind it was another
yronp of irregular buildings. A dozen
tall chimneys poured their smoke into
the sulphurous air, which was pervaded
by a certain glow insufficient to di
si pate the darkness, but enough to make
the stream which wound down the val
ley gleam l.'ka a blaci gigantic make.
