MORE ABOUT SICILY
Another Interesting Leticr from
A. M. Drake. .
AtANY HISTORICAL PLACES
Has a Slight Experience with on earth
quake Spends Two Delightful
Weeks on the Island.
HniTOR's NOTK Our last letter from
Mr. Drake endctl his description of the
city of Syracutc, no the island of Sicily.
The following letter is ,descriptie of
further travels over that interesting
island, anil brings to a close his stay in
Sicily.J
From Syracuse to Taormina our
train followed the eastern shore ol
Sicily. At Catania, the second
largest city of the inland, we passed
the base of Mt. Aetna, where great
lava flows have at different time"
rolled down, obliterating vineyard,
olive and orange groves and town
In their paths, and even penetrat
ing into Catania itself. Often tin,
the city been overthrown by earth
quakes and partly buried by ashe
and lava to say nothing of having
alarms without number; but still it
continues a flourishing city.
Some 20 years ago, during a
oreat eruption when the molten
lava was daily coming nearer, re
lentlessly destroying everything in
its path, the terrified people be
sought the bishop to attempt to
stay the flood by exhibiting the
garments of St. Agatha, ps bad
been done some 300 years before.
Accordingly he headed a preat pro
cession which took the relics from
the cathedral and nil day long
solemnly marched back and forth
across the path of the slowly raov
log flow, when sure enough the
eruption and flood ceased. It is
consequently needless to say that
the entire population believes abso
lutcly in the efficacy of those relics
and preserves and venerates them
with the greatest care.
From Catania on the mountain
seems determined to crowd the rail
way into the sea, but every time
just as it seems to be succeeding,
the tram dives ttirougu a tunnel
under the ungulflng rocks, as an
expert swimmer under an ocean
surf. This was-thc very coast des
cribed by Homer, and the enormous
rocks out in the water were the
"Rocks of thcClyclopsM which he
says Polyphemus threw after the
fleeing Ulysses aud almost
wrecked that hero's ship.
Passing Aetna we reached Giar
din!, a shoestring town between
cliff and surf, and there took a car
riage up the three mile grade to the
city of Taormtua, on a little ledge
of a mountain some 650 feet straight
above us.
Like the other Grecian settle
ments it had had its sieges and
captures. The present walls were
built by the baracens alter tueir
capture nnd add greatly to the
picttircsquencss of the quaint place,
now a great winter resort whose
charm lies mainly in its magnifi
cent views of Aetna aud the many
colored Mediterranean. ,
Notwithstanding my letters and
telegram, the hotel was so crowded
that the first night I bad to quarter
outside, in an Italian private house.
My room was across a court from
the main building, in a corner of
the stone wall where an outside
stairway led up to a stone terrace
overhung with vines and overlook
ing the grtrden, The landlady
could not talk a word of English
nor I Italian, so the conversations
were limited to nods and smiles,
but we got on famously. She
brought me hot water to shave and
showed me a string outside my
window among the vines, which I
was to pull and jingle a bell, if I
wanted anything, It was a unique
experience and the place so clean
and cozy that I tegrctted the trans
fer to the hotel the following day.
Our first morning we climbed, up
the mountain overhanging 'the
town, to the old Saracen castle
where the walls of the city con-
ergwl and miile it the key to tin
ifliflciitions. The v'cw there w.v
uperb Kikjlit. hundred feet bclo
li where I could throw n stone on
10 the roofs, hiy the town on it
shell, nnd'650 leet below that again
Ginrdinintidthesurf fringed sea. Tn
the right acrois n valley was Aetna
with 11 light itmnkc cloud floating
-ibove its snowy crater t'p nnoth
er mountain behind us Mill far
nbovc was the old city of Mola with
itrt cintVe above it, while ou our
left front the mountains of the
mainland loomed up across t!.
-.trait of Messina. We ipent the
whole morning sitting out on
projecting wall of the cnstle, bank
ing in the sun. drinking in the
leaiitiful view, and reading Iltchen..
'Call of the Blood," the scene of
vhich lay spread out before us
While seated there, a herd boy
climbed the steep dope with his
band of goats and seating himself
m a rock below us began playing
the old pastoral on his shepherds
reed pipe just as his predecessors
lid 2000 years ago The goat
ranged around him grazing on tb
most impossible places, and jump
ing unconcernedly Irotn rock to
iock, where the slightest tntstep
.vould have precipitated their
hundreds of feet below
That evening before sunset v
visited the ruins of the old Greek
theatre (one of the most picturesque
'uins existing anywhere) on the
side of a high knoll where the seats
lor thousands of people commanrtc
not only the stage, but in the back
ground one of the finest views iu
the world.
As it became dark, the smokv
veil o'er Aetna begin to glow, red
cuing either from the sun's ray
shining through it or from the re
flection of the internal fires, accord
niR US' one of the phenominal view
which at intervals arc visible frot;
Taormina.
Early the following morning be
fore the sun should make it hot for
climbing, we started for Mola on
its rimrock heights 1500 feet above
us. We took the unfrequented
back trail where 394 years B. C
Dionysus and bis Syracusan army
had sustained defeat one wintery
night. We entered the old walls
through a little back gate, before
the population of becgers was or
duty to intercept the daily strcarr
of tourists
Of all the dirty, poverty Strieker
places and people I had ever con
ceived of, Mola takes the premium
aud one can scarcely accredit tb.
statements of those who have seer
Cartrogiovanni that it is worse
there, and more of it Once Mola
had been an important place anc
stronghold, but it has long outlived
its usefulness and so has its popu
lation, a veritable poor house for
dried up old people, living on alms
of visitors and just watting to die
The only thing they possess to
compensate for this misery is the
incomparable view trom the terra,
piazza ucar the main city gate,
where they generally congregate in
swarms on the stone benches, wait
ing to pounce upon visitors arriv
ing tired and panting from the
tedious climb. From the terrace
of the castle, when we afterwards
witnessed the ordeals of later ar
rivals, we congratulated ourselves
on having made so early a start
and on having taken the old trail
which they were not watching.
Descending part way from Mola
we crossed along a ridge to anothc
mountain and climbed another trai
to the house of the "Priest of
Hichens" novel. By this time it
was noon and as we wished to rest
we managed to make the prelate
understand that we wanted some
thing to cat. His housekeeper got
out fresh linen and served us c
luuch, all of things grown on the
place rye bread with goat butter.
au omelet, a bottle of red wine, nuts
oranges, etc., and when it came tc
settling the bill, I was staggered at
the amount, i)i lira (30c) for all.
After resting we passed ou arounc
to a villa of a Germau novelist
where there was a fine view, and
then finding a small girl to pilot us,
took a by-path down the other side
of the mountain. All the slopes
are cultivated, and terraced with re
taining walls. Sometimes these
