In another moment we had emerged upon a sort of slanting gallery that projected into a vust circular space, a huge cylindrical pit running vertically up and down. Round this pit the slanting gallery ran mwithout any parapet or protection for a turn and a half, and then plunged high mbove Into the rock again. Somehow it reminded me then of one of those spiral turns of the raihway throwrh the St. Gothard. It was all tremendously huge.
