Leaving the Echo Chamber, we proceeded
onward quarter OF mile and came to the
ROBBERS DEN.
This is the beginning of the cave: so we
were informed by the guide. Thus far we
had only been going through the passaoe ,vau
TO the cave. Here the top of the cave sud
denly rose about sixty or seventy feet, and
there was q corresponding lateral enlarge
ment. But on trying the water little in ad-
vance, 1t was found to be full three feet deep,
and presented indications that 1t would be
deeper till we reached the lake which was
half mile beyond. pa sag see ssgs
b The Robbers Den is curiously shaped
apartment, very high, quite broad, and perfo-
rated In hun tred different places with little
holes large enough TO receive a mans body
within and completely hide it from view
were this public thoroughfare, there would
certainly be an excellent position for highway
men to secrete themselves and burst suddenly
forth upon the unsuspecting traveller. We
saw, however, no robbers, and in fact no indi-
cations of them, notwithstanding the warning
OF the guide to "Beware OF pickpockets." He
pointed out to us square place. about three
feet across, which strongly resembled a trap
door, and near the door hole which would
serve for the giant to unlock the door and
raise 1t for the admission of his fellows.
We had thus far proceeded two miles and
half into the side of mountain. Reluctantly we
were forced to turn our backs upon the Robber 3
Den and retrace our steps to the outer world.
We succeeded in accomplishing the latter feat \
in safety, and about half an hour before the
departure of the cars we were wringing our
wet stockings and washing our dirty hands
and faces in the spacious hotel, having been
within the subterranean world over three
hours and half and having visited, and with
care examined, the greatest subterranean Gu
riosity TO be seen north of the Ohio River.
The usual distance which visitors are "taken
in" is seven miles. Beyond where we went Is |
a large lake, said to be 100 feet in depth, over
which travellers are taken in a large boat be-
yond the lake there Is no wa'er. The water
we encountered was che overlooking OF the |
