 Daybreak revealed low and misty sky. We lay as if becalmed in the midst of an oily sea, strangely discol- ored in patches. Suddenly the water trembled. I can use no other word. The ship rolled, and in the distance rose a huge, balloon-shaped mass of vapor, steam or smoke. There was not the slightest sound, but long line of chafing water stretched across the streaky caimness. Then the vapor set tied over all, and we could hear but n ], see the seething and pouring water all about us. The captain ordered a b. cketful to be drawn up. It was hot ana smelled like gas works.

I'd been falling over; the floor was cov- cred with them, all open, with their handles resting on the floor.
 And then I remembered that there'd been quite a rain late that day after I'd been along the road, and the whole fam fly must have been out in it. visiting the neighbors or going to a party or some thing, and carrying all the umbrellas in the house, and when they came back, like careful people, they'd spread 'em all out around. open, in the kitchen to dry. and 1t was these umbrellas that l had stumbled over and that had finally upset me.

 When the light came, red and un. natural, strange sight met our eyes. It was as if the bottom of the Pacific was laiG bare. We were helpless in a sc of thick mud. The sulphur fumes were choking, and we had to take ref uge below. Hour after hour we gasped, facing the probability of death by suf- location. Suddenly we felt that we were af1oat.

The Gulf of Mexico has witnessed the advent and subsistence of small islands. These upheayals of the bed of the ocean suggest all sorts of mysteries connected with the unknown depths.
