but if you fellows ever tried to climb
hill with two feet of snow on it,
you know how it feels. And it's hot,
too"
Harry sided with Bob, and the three
We're soon seated comfortably in the
little car, gliding upward along the
rails of the funicular.
Near the upper terminus of the rail
way there was a cabin, where a num-
ber of guides were waiting to conduct
tourists to the edge of the crater
They pOunced upon the boys eagerly.
'-NO, nor said Harry in English, shak-
ing off one of his tOrmentors mo
guide for us. We go alone -see?"
One word alone was ineligible to
the Italian, the last, which he under
stood as ''si'' 0es), and affairs grew
still more complicated. At last Bob,
who knew a little italian, said firmly:
"'Andate pei fatti vostri'' Go about
your busness); adding, "Faremo a
modO nOstro." eve shall do as we
please), and pushing through the
screaming circle, he led the way up
the path.
The guides sullenly fell back and
gave up the contest, muttering eX-
pletives in the NeapOlitan parois,
which fortunately the Americans could
not understand.
Bob CrOthers told me long after
wards that he had not taken a dozen
steps when he felt a sudden misgiv-
ing, and halted irresolutely After ALL
would it not be better to take an eX-
perienced guide? If he had only
Obeyed his premOnition of dangerl but
Dick bounded up ahead, shouting,
Come on, fellows! We've got clear of
them at last, and we're going to have
the time of our liveSI''
So the lads kept on, up the steep
ascent, until they stood on the small,
irregular. plateau forming the summit
of Vesuvius.
The view was marvellous. Far away
lay the city Naples, a tawny crescent
bathed in sunshine; vineyards and
gardens stretched away from the foot
| of the mountain, dotted with villas
and little hamlets; and to the west lay
the wonderful Mediterranean, a perfect
turquoise in color, with shadings of
deeper blue where the breeze touched
the shimmering surface In the dis
tance slept the fair island of Capri.
But the boys fere more interested
in their immediate surroundings than
in the dreamy Italian landscape far
below and beyond them.
Just in front of them yawned the
awful crater, its sides streaked with
sulphur and dimmed by ascending
curls of steam. The crust of Stag and
ash on which they stood was warm
| to their feet, and here and there were
crevices coated with bright yellow sui
phur and giving forth hot fumes of
| nauSeating gas
"Whew!" exclaimed Harry, with a
disgusted face. Il can't stand this

The Florida agriculturist., 1906-07-18

Harry ThurStOn glanced toward the
dark bulk of Vesuvius, from the sum-
nit of which a few curls of smoke
laziIy fioated upward against the blue
italian sky. ThurstOn, with two other
young Americans of about his own
age, was doing southern Italy, walk
ing whenever it was possible, and en-
ploying guides only when it was alb
solutely necessary to do so. The three
pedestrians were now seated on the
veranda of the Quisisana, at Castel-
lammare, having just finished break
fast.
"'The path is plain enough on the
map" continued Harry, 'and I, for
one, don't care to have 'Pietro' or
'JacOpOO' tagging after me all the way
up
''It looks like the beginning of a
clear day." said Bob Crothers, reflect
lose our way"
"Come onr' urged Dick White. 1t
was Dick who usually got the party
into scrapes, and CrOthers who eX-
tricated it. Harry, in either case,
simply helped form a majority.
Two hours later the trio started out
from ia MaisOn Blanche a small
in at the foot of the mountain, and
attacked the foothills of Vesuvius it
self The sun was shining brightly,
the air was clear and sweet, but the
district across which the path lay
was so drearily desolate that by de-
grees the gay talk and laughter of the
boys languished.
They had climbed the Mount Wash
ington bridle-path the year before, but
how different were their surroundings
nowi In place of balsam frs, dancing
brooks, messy slopes bright with Grim
son berries and starry flowers, they
looked out over an unbroken stretch
of volcanic rock, dead lava and black
dust
'Tt's like a nightmare" exclaimed
Harry, breaking a long silence during
which they had been plOdding on
ward and upward 'I'd give some
thing for drink of New Hampshire
spring water!''
81 suppose observed Bob, 'tthe
moon looks something like this when
you get there. Just a burned-out,
cOOled-Off, dried-up Volcano
''Well,'' said Dick, lets get on.
There's sort of restaurant up there,
at the end of this path. where we can
rest before taking i'm the final cone
and the CRATER
1t was a long, hard, hot pull for
them, experienced walkers though
they were, and they were glad enough
for the brief halt for refreshments at
the foot of the flncIIlar railway-the
very one which inspired the popular
NeapOlitian song, ''Funiculi. funicula."
And now arose a discussion as to the
method of completing the ascent Dick
was for continuing on foot, following
the tracks of the regular porters up
through the knee-deep aShy dust which
covers the steep sides of the cone.
CrOthers, however, advocated taking

IlOh.
'I-I-will f-fear no evilH' stam-
mered poor Dick, in whisper.
Then the crash came, and the
column of black smoke rolled upward.
He was indeed in the shadow of
deathl'' Tie stones ratified sharply
| against the rocks round him, and frag-
ments of Stag slid past, disappearing in
the abyss. Still the projection against
which his heels rested did not give
way. Half -suffocated with nauseOus
gases, his limbs cramped and aching,
he grimly held on.
Meanwhile Bob Crothers tore down
the path to the hut, where he found the
guides half asleep.
When the white-faced lad came
rushing among them, they listened at
first sulkily enough; but as soon as
they understood the real nature of the
catastrophe they sprang to their feet,
and snatching a coil of rope from a
hook, hurried up the cone, headed by
Bob.
Dick, my dear fellowT' 1t was
BOb's voice, and it came just i'm time
to rouse the boy from the stupOr to
which he was fast succumbing.
"Yesr' replied Dick, feebly.
We're going to throw you a rope
with a running moose at the end.
When l give the word, you stick your
arms through the moose, quick, and
grab the rope with both hands!''
IL don't know whether L can hold
On!' trembled Dick.
Yes, you can!' replied Bob, fiercely.
You've got to! Here comes the
roper
Two sturdy guides had stretched
themselves fiat on the ground at the
edge of the crater; half a dozen of
their comrades planted themselves
firmly, with the rope twisted round
their bodies, a few feet farther back
Dick felt the loose particles of ash
sliding past his face as the rope slid
down slowly toward him. The dust
got into his eyes, but he could not rub
them. At last the moose glided over
ris head and rested ON his chest At
the same moment he heard the pre-
mOnitOry rumble Of the volcano fore
telling another discharge.
"NOw!'' screamed Bob.
Dick drew long breath and caught
the rope, thrusting an arm through
the moose. The quick movement and
involuntary bracing of his feet dis
lodged the slight projection which had
arrested his fall, and he began to slide
downward.
1t was a moment of terrible sus-
pense. Would the rope hold? Dick
could not help himself a particle, if
indeed he was still conscious. But his
grip was firm, and the moose, which
had slipped up to his armpit, clutched
him tightly.
Slowly the silent form was drawn
up the slope, farther and farther, until
his rescurers, cautiously reaching over
the edge, caught his wrists, and drew
the half-dead lad to safety
1t was a triumphal possession that
wound down the path to the hut, carry

Lets hurry round the thing, and
then go down." said Dick. 81 never
thought of its being so awful, did
you?''
They cautiously circled the great pit,
carefully avoiding the steaming
cracks in their path, and then paused
for a last look.
Wouldn't it be horrible to tumble
in!'' shuddered Dick, as they crept a
little nearer the edge and peered down
into the black, steaming depth.
'They say an Englishman went
down a few years ago." said Bob.
"He got too near and-Dick! Dick
Come backI'' he screamed, springing
backward, with Harry beside him.
Dick was a little in advance of the
others. AS CrOthers spoke, crack
appeared in the Stag, and moment
later, just as Dick started to his feet,
a section of the edge crumbled down
ward, carrying the boy with it. His
two companions gazed at each other
with blanched faces. 1t was too awful
to be believed. A moment ago there
were three of them, talking merrily
enough; nOw-nOw there were but
two!
" What-what shall we dO?' gasped
the trembling Harry. 80 Bob, he's

lay there with upturned face, knees
slightly bent-he dared not straighten
out his legs-and Outstretched hands
clutching the Stag on each side. The
loose ash almost covered his hair, his
hands and his feet.
Hold on tight, DickI'' screamed
Harry, hardly knowing what he said.
We'll get you out. Hold on for your
life!''
Dick heard the voice of his friend
calling to him, although he could see

his eyes as he hung there within six
inches of a horrible death, and nerved

voice came again:
Bob has gone for help. 1 must keep
