/ strong current, crushing and cutting through
the young ice which had been formed on the
rushing torrent along the course OF which
that the Ion oer tbe 1oo 5000 the faefait Vent

from my friencs became very much disturbed

inclined plane at the rate of about sixty miles an

outer world, but refused positively to tell me

to travel over, and all these dwelers beneath the
earth were civilized, to some extent, in advance
/ of the inhabitants dwelling on the outer crust
