Ia the meanwhile, Halcyone, ignorant
of oil these horrors, counted the days till
her husbands promised return, and pre-
pared to meet him. She offered incense
and prayer to the gods, especially Juno,
tor her husbands safe return. The god

directed her to 60 to the dwelling Of
Somnus, the god Of sleep. and tell him to
send vision in the form of Ceyx to Hal

husband was in the land of spirits. Iris
put on her robe of the beautiful colors

palace Of the king Of sleep, which was a
cave in the mountain. Silence reigned
there, only the ripple of the river Lethe
coming to the car and inviting to drow-

palace door. The bright presence of Iris

scene. As she stood there, she saw some
thing floating in the water not far from
shore. As it came nearer she saw it was
the body of man, and finally it tloated

recognized them as those of her husband.
Then she could not wait patiently for the
waves to bring the body to her, and she

reached out her arms as if to fiy-and,
she did fly, and skinned over the water,
an unhappy bird, singing mournful notes
as she went. She quickly met the float

gods, who transformed the king into q
