burning lava smoking down the side of
the mountain. The smoke rose in thick,
dense columns, in some places snow
white and most beautiful, but as it
stretched away into the blue sky it grew
s.rk and gloomy. From time to time,
above the noise OF the machinery. we
could hear distant rumble like thun-
der, which made us look at each other
rather gravely The water was rough
and was sea-sick. To think of only
days sea-sickness, and that in fearful
storm on the Atlantic and few days on
the blue Mediterranean on a bright warm
day. We passed Sorrento and stopped to
| let off some passengers. There was lit
! tie to see; a mountain with trees and
| rocks, and little village up the sides of
! the hills l thought of Agnes of Sorrento
! and the orange groves, but | didn't care
/ for anything but my state of mind. We
went on to Capri and the steamer stop
! ped right in the trough to let us off to
! 90 to the Blue GrottO. [ had heart Of
| the danger and | was ready to believe
anything,
There we lay, pitching and rolling,
| the big waves dashing over the drop
| steps. The sailors came up in dozens
of little boats around the ship, and we
! were packed off by threes, the waves
/ dashing the boats away as fast as we
! tried to get in. AS we were going across
/ to the entrance, some boat loads were
returning, and | screamed, lis it bad?'

sticks There was such an air of DESC
Iation and silence and desertion. But
the terrible SIGHT was the mountain be-
fore Ms. q vast mass of flame and smoke,
roaring and laundering fearfully. and
every now and then would come great
EXPLOSION which would start us and
make us SILVER. The lava was pouring
down the sides in broad fiery streams.
sending M long lines of smoke. The
air all about was denselv black. and
brouoht out more intensely the fire. We
could see plainly the showers Of fiery
