him through the fever. When the Captain ra-
covered, he inquired from the Doctor what he
was in his debt, but Fothergill refused to re-

Grant was rooted to ths ground BY comoina- n.
he and companion entered the c7lye, but the
light was so piercing ant brilliant that for
few seconds the pair could see nothing; their
vision seemed to be lost; but gradually their
eyes became accustomed to the unnatural
brilliancy Of light, and tho sight which met
their gaze no person can depict The walls and

cave Is about one mile in length, 15o feet IN

this immense grotEo is arched similar to IN old
gothic church, supported by large alabasser-Iiko
pillars, cntwined BY heavy golden and silver
wire OF the dimensions Of a mans finger, like
the growth of ivy, and In style OF grandeur
