Having fully made up our minds to en-
10y some of the delights Of balloon as
ccnsion without subjecting ourselves to
any of It's pcrils. we determined to look
from the top of Zaphatara upon the
world below 'Ia.
We could descry its peak away above
the clouds, that shut out a long section of
its course above its base base leaving the
upper portion, as if resting in the air,
resembling more a mirage than reality.
1t was true that no one had ever been to
the top Of Zapatara, at least so said the
natives. but we deemed that no reason
why some person might not succeed IN
reaching its summit, aud at any rate we
were bound to make the attempt, and i'm
mediately set about the preparation Our
tent was packed, provisions slowed,
blankets, matches. and everything for a
weeks tripprovided.
tits true it was only 1000 feet, but
that was upward, and the detours posi-
bly, to be encountered, might make the
route many miles
Although in appearance to the traveller
passing down or across the lake, these
twin mountains have the appearance of a
couple of huge sugar loaves, wc found
p,n approaching their ascent that the
first 1--WE miles had not elevated as mnch,
and that the ups and downs Had brought
us thus far over diversified plain COW
cred with vegetation aud well cultivated
plantations. ...,
We accepted an invitation to spend the
nipht at one OF these hacicndas, the pro
prie,or of which had spent hi slifc upon
The island and WAS very ready to per-
suadc me from any attempt to scale the
heiphth we had determined upon. But
finding us resolved to "do IL or die
with true cathc lie grace, committed us
TO his patron saint, concluding with a
borrowed Yankee, quizical expression,
that when we succeeded, he hoped we
would let him know it,
Oar progress onward and upward was
slow, sometimes entangled in vines and
overshadowed by thick broad leaves, that,
while they afforded perfect shelter from
the rays of the sun, sadly impeded our
progress. Occasionally we would cross
directly over rods Of charred lava that
had spread out from its direct cham
on its downward course. This cut into
our boots, and nearly compelled us TO
turn back or send for apair OF "stogas,
bu, we clamoered on and upward, and,
rs the sun dropped, like a molten ball,
we pitched our tent; our natives prepar'
ed cur chocolate and eggs, aud conside
rably fatigued, we drew our woolen blan'
kcts over and about rs, and closed our
eyes upon things below to dream OF
