At last he reached the summit of the mountain, the mouth of the cra- ter, Here the doctor hoped the ta- fatuated man would stop, at any rate, and would, perhaps, recover his senses, and expose himself to no more danger than the descent involved. Once more he shouted: “Hatteras! Hatteras!” ‘There was such a pathos of on treaty tn his tone that Altmont felt moved to his inmost soul. “T'll save him yet!" he exclaimed, and before Clawbonny could hinder him, he had cleared with a bound the torrent of fire and was out of | sight among the rocks.

Hatteras balanced his staff with one hand, and with the other sought to find the precise mathematical point where all the meridians of the globe meet, the point on which it was his sublime purpose to plant his foot.
