approaching coast line and the minarrtS
and spires of the great southern city
sweeping every moment more fully INTO

"While a coast lice that rises and falls
with the deep
Lies as light on the Bay with its trrmu-
lous sweep
As 4 mantle of blue on an infant asleep,
The sight is magnificent one, a pan
Drama OF more striking beauty it would
be difficult to find, The sweep of the
human eye cannot, indeed, picture Il
fairer sight than the entrance tn the
Bay Of Naples from the sea. 1t appeals
to both the soul and the eye as only the
beauties OF art aud nature when united
can do.
A sunny, Italian landscape, gay with
groves and vineyards, the blue coast line
studded with terraces and sumptuous
villas, the soft waves of the Bay mirrow
ing back the white sails that float above
its dreamy waters, and the great city set
like veritable gem amid the masses of
verdure that line the heights above it.
The harbor of Naples lies in the shape
of a great crescent before you, while the
CLEAN of marble and CorlnthIan column
amid the green groves of orange and
olive and tropical foliage that clothe the
sweep of hills beyond the haEbor's ter
race, makes the first view of Naples seem
indeed the entrance to verItable para
disc. Rippling waters, sunny sky, tropic
foliage, cleaning verdure, glittering
marble and tapering minaret, convey in
deed the thought-but above ripping
water and tessalated marble and sweep
Of verdure, bar sinister to the fairest
sight human vision e'er rested on, floats
sullen cloud of black, slowly rising
smoke-the smoke of the great volcano
OF Vesuvius beyond the bay. Truly
with this Paradise, as with Others
known to man, the the trail Of the ser
pent is over it all.
As the great vessel nears its anchor
age a myriad feet of small boats dart
out to meet her, boats of all sizes and
kinds, all alike strange to the western
eye, a seeming flock of swans dot on
every side the water, here a band OF
Italian musicians fill the air with the
swelling music OF the mandolin and gui.
