looked like mound in the middle of the
water. All of sudden the moon burst
forth, and showed us the place with the
distnctiveness of day. The scene is deeply
impressed on my memory. The place
looked as if an earthquake had taken place
and thrown down the walls, or ike some
magnificent ruin which the hand Of time
had desolated. The Jagged edges of the
walls standing out in bold relief, with the
seutries passing slowly up and down he
