I could enly look and gape. “As we explored the margin of the valley (the worst place, as we after- ward found), we oceuld plainly hear the ground ring hellow beneath the tunks of our staffs, and more than onee we feit it shake beneath our blows. What if the ground should suddenly give way heneath our feet and precipitate us into a steaming/ ealdron? “A bpeath of the steam from a vent blown around us fer a moment by a chanee breeze gave an uncomfortable burn. We knew that if once a man fell into suych a place he would be instantly parboiled. YAt first we roped as for mountain- climbing and spread out, so that if one man went through, the other could pull him aut. g&‘ Wwhen we came to Tealize the condltions, we discarded the ropes, for we decided that if a man once got in it would be mare merciful to leave him than to attempt to pull Rim out, ) ‘“We had been assured by the Lest autherity that there gould be no dan- ger from the fumes, but I had brought along a chemist partly for the express purpese of warning us as to what was not safe. I knew this valley to be dif- ferent from every other place in the world, and reasoned that there could be no real basis for the assurances given me. What I feared was carbon monoxide, that colorless, odorless, tasteless gas, deadly even in concenira- tiens as small as five parts in 10 000. Tt is usually present in the emana- tions from voleanaes. There is, more- r ple chemical test by which its prese: may be detegted. What if we theuld get a dose of that before we were aware of the danger? “Byt, like practically all the buga- hoos which ene meets in this world, these were proved by experience to be much less dangerous than our imagin- ations had pictured. Experience show- e? that there was always plenty of ait to breaths, and we found no in- sidious gases likely to strike one down without warning, for our noses gave uyse gbupdant notice of dangerous places, so that we suffered no injury beyond slight headaches and tempor- ary inconvenience. Learning to Travel Safely. “Se also with the cave-ins. As we grew familiar with the conditions we built up a basis of experience that soon enabled us to pick eyr way with some degree of safety. The deposits brought up by the fumaroles themselves so en- crust their throats and the ground round about that a thin roof over a cavern will suppoit a man with safety. “The worst places were those where fissures had been bridged over by ash apd mud, se as to leave nothing to indieate their presence.

Coaaking at a Fumergle, “In ‘many places the valley about the vents is covered with peculiar blue mud, thinly coated with a chestnut-hrown crust, which seme- times gives way suddenly, letting ene down to his shoe-tops in the soft, scalding mud beneath.
