In the heart Of Venice, hetween rms
magnificent palace ~ she doges and the
grim walls Of the old prison. flow the
dark waters OF the Rio del Palaxzo ane
across tins canal stretches the Bridge Of
Signs connecting link between the
splendors Of palace and the terrors of
the dungeon. the .tortnm chamber and
the heading block. One Or the most no
ticeable points about this bridge Is the
fact that Ii Is closed In, thus proving
all stories OF suicifes committed from
IL to he fabulous.
This fact robs tho Bridge Of Signs Of
one OF its most romantic associations
of It's pretty legends Of grief laden NOR
tails heaving their last sigh upon its
parapet and ending their sorrowing
lives in the black waters beneath ii.
From without the bridge. with its arch
like form. it's ornamental stonework, it's
groteseuely carved heads and its small
square windows filled in with iron trac-
cry, presents rather fine appearance,
but the interior il strictly devoid Of or
pament and has not the slightest pre-
tensions TO beauty.
During our visit to Venice of course
we included the doges' palace and the
dungeons IN our programme. After
wandering for some time through the
vast halls and beautiful saloons OF the
old Venetian palace we passed over the
Bridge Of Signs on our way 10 the
gloomy cells. The bridge seemed to be
little more than narrow passage be-
tween two thick walls Of stone. and un-
less you stepped mp onto the slightly
raised stonework which runs along be-
meath the tiny windows on either side
and caught a glimpse OF the canal with
out you might easily take IL for an ordi-
nary passage within the palace. At the
far end of the bridge our progress WIS
barred by grim looking oaken door
nail studded, age blackened and of inn
mense guarding the entrance
10 the dungeons. Our guides came TO a
halt. There was Jingiing OF keys, a
lighting If torches; than the great door
swung slowly back, aud we passed into
the darkness beyond. When next we
passed the ancient door and crossed the
Bridge of Signs, ii was with the memory
of those terrible cells, those fearful dun
geons where the hapless prisoners en-
dured the most horrible tortures that
tyranny could devise or brutality i'm
fiict.
I remember strolling. ON the last
evening of our holiday in Venice, along
ths Piazza San Marco and making my
way to the Ponte della Paglia to take a
farewell look at the Bridge Of Signs. II
was Summer evening, hot and suitry,
while the fast gathering clouds. dense
and inky, betokened an approaching
storm. had just reached the Ponte
della Paglia and was gazing at the
Bridge of Signs when tremendous
peal Of thunder rent the heavens. seem
ing to shake the city 10 its very fonnda-
tions with its violence.
Suddenly a binding flash OF lightning
lit up the palace, bridge and dungeons
with its lurid flare. For an instant the
bridge stood out with dazzling distinct
ness. while the lightning played ON Its
traceried windows; then all seemed
dark. And this was the last ! saw Of
the Bridge Of Signs. - Newcastle Chron-
