Fell Into the Crater,

Dispatches from Naples give mcagro

CURED on Mount Vesuyius, by which q
brazilian traveller lost his life. Another
Brazilian WAS rescued with difficulty.
Mount vesuvius, Us 1t has been recorded,
has for some months past been showing
signs Of activity mt intervals. Within tho
last week or so, however, vesuvius has
been somewhat quiet, but yesterday rc-
newed signs of activity were noticed, aud
travellers were warned that II would not
be wise TO ascend the crater.
In spite Of this warning, two Brazilian
travellers, accompanied by guide, dc ..
tormincd to make the ascent. They did SO
and reached the top Of the mountain In
safety. There they were noticed TO bc
standing noar the crater gazing into Its
mysteries. Suddenly the whole party was
cnvclopod by adcnsc cloud Of sulphurous
smoke which so stupeiisd the travellers
that one Of them roeled about for a mo-
ment, then staggered forward and fell
head foremost into the crater.
Tho guide who accompanied the two
Braxilians had In the meantime caught
hold Of the second traveller and half
dragged, half pushed him into position
where the crator's fumes could not affect
him, thus saving the travellers life.
