The day after landing I attempted to

TERRA del Fuego may be described as
mountainous land, partly submerged in
the sea, so that deep inlets and bays
occupy the place where valleys should
exist The mountain sides, except OH the
exposed western coast, are covered from
the waters edge upward by forests.
The trees reach to an elevation of be-
tween 1000 and 1850 feet, and are Sic
ceeded by a band of peat with minute
Alpine plants; and this again is sue
ceeded by the line Of perpetual snow. To
find anaacre OF level land in any part of
the country is indeed rare. Everywhere

the ground Is concealed by a mass of

Finding 1t nearly hopeless to push

the course Of a mountain torrent. At
first, from the waterfalls and number Of
dead trees, could hardly crawl along;
but the bed of the stream SOON became
more open, from the floods having swept
the sides. The gloomy depth of the ra-
vine well accorded with the universal
signs OF violence. On every side were
lying irregular masses of rock and torn
up trees The entangled mass Of the
thriving and the fallen reminded me Of
the forests Of the tropics-yet there was
a difference; for In these solitudes Death
instead Of Life seemed the predominant
spirit. The trees all belong to one kind,

The ofscial opening of the bridge was
a gala day for the people of both sides
OF the river. Before the sun was an hour
high in the heavens farmers wagons,
carts. carriages and buggies were lined
up to cross the great bridge which had
brought the families Of opposite sides
into close communication. Formerly the
people living on opposite sides of the
river had been as strangers, and few Of
them had been acquainted at all. But
now neighborly intercourse would be pos
sible and would bring much social happi-
ness to the people on both sides of the
stream.

Then Jack and Mabel had to go their

many curious and beautiful things that
they fancied were to be seen 'yonder side

Wall. can YOU imagine the surprise OF
lack and Mabel when, one evening as
tbev were returning home from schooi,
they saw many men with surveying IN
struments walking up and down on me
river bank about half a mile from the
verv spot where they so often stopped to
look across the stream to the blue ana
misty country beyond? And when JACK
told his father about the men surveying
the land about the river, he SAID: les,

river you would not ask that quest on.
Poor rocky soil that Is fit for little. can
tell you: looke1 up and down both 9th sia ;

But Jack, who had fancied so many
beautiful farms on the other side, could
not believe that his father had really
seen the better places. Doubtless he had
sought only the land adjacent to the river
and had found the stony and barren soil
there. But beyond-away among those
misty blue hills, covered by splendid tim
ber the land must be fine and the farms
like perfectly kept gardens. Anyway, SO
fancy had led Jack and Mabel to believe.
And during many weeks the men work
ed on the bridge and Jack and Mabel
would stop on their way from school to
watch them placing the great beams and
iron rods and strong boards OF the floor.
And they counted the days till the bridge
should be completed, and when they might
