in the side walls Of the BarranCa. There
WAS unmc,.ing snow near some of them,
too, rs in the pit into which he had fall
en-, and this served his purpose quite as
we'll as sand for covering up his ingots.
In exploring these he entered one OPEN
ing behind a small grove of trees, from
which all vegetation was blasted, leav-
ing only bare whitened limbs, rafting
tOgethy4 H. a'i.l"+0ns. No sooner was
he few feet from its mouth than he felt
his head benumbed by an OverpOwering
heavineSs and his limbs sink under him,
With an instinct to fly that seemed the
last expiring effort of consciousness, he
crawled ont on his hands and knees and
reached the free, open air again. He lay
for considerable time with the blood
beating loudly in his temples, gasping
and unable to rise. HeIhad got into d
new Avernus, or place like the famous
Grotto del Cane at Naples, which no ami
NAL can enter and hive. ,U,'.t,l'
Returning to this spot afterward, and
examining it with a caution which the
adventure induced him to extend to all
his other researches as well, he found it
a vent of deadly carbOnic acid gas. There
was even sort of natural tank without
which was filled by the gas pouring
with his youthful taste for novelty,
managed to battle. keeping his head
well above the gas, SO much heavier
than air, and he thought he found
peculiar refreshment in it for hfs tired
bones. The; transportation Of his hoard
and Encouragement of it in the new
quarters was another work that occu-
pied no small time.
He kept careful diagram of all the
places of deposit. and a rude tally book
with the conteatS of each. The amount
grew apace; ne had freight for many
mules, and, still attaching no definite
ideas of value to it, he was always
vaguely troubled by the speculation as
to how he should get it out of the coun-
try; that he felt was likely to be an even
more difficult undertaking than the
other. - 49,,
