\ Massa di Somma. That was Massa di Somma in the middle—that was San Sebastiano to the right-lower down the mountain on this side, near Naples, was Sau Giorgia v Cromano. He could not tell how many inhabitants there were in San Sebastiaiio ; perhaps two or three thousand. Massa di Somma was a big place-much bigger than San Sebastiano, with three or four times as large a population. Hut they had all lied. There were no people left in those burning houses. Where were they gone ? Ecco I—the city was full of them ; the ships in the harbour wore full of them ; I the convents and hospitals, the barracks and churches were all full of them. Why, the Commissary of Police was hero not half-an hour ago--m tlte landlord's bureau down stairs—and he was heard to say that fifty thousand refugees had come into Naples within the last twelve hour* ! All at once, Mr Kink looked at his watch, and snid that it was half-past nine and time for him to bo gone. . Whereupon It came out that, having already watched the deoct'ttt Of tho lava from its cradle at the head of that grim ravine between the cone and Monte Somma known as the Atrio del Cavallo, he desired now to trace its further course along the mountain side. He accordingly proposed driving as far as a place called Santa Anaslasia, on the North-western slopes of Vesuvius, and thenco making his Way to: the brink of the great lava-lake on that upper level, or platform, locally styled " the first plain." For this excursion, he had be spoken the services of the hotel-guide and ordered a lifiht onc-horeo carretta, which must even now be waiting for him in the courtyard. Would Lord Biackcnbury accept the second scat in the carretta, and go with him, To which Lancelot replied that there was nothing he should like better. The countof-.s w<is charmed. That bad husband of hers had refused to let her accompany him ; and to be left alone in the hotel would have been really horrid. But now it was ' autre chose'l Now she should have dear Lady Brackcnbury all to herself; and they would watch the eruption together till these gentleman camu back. It would be quite delightful ! Winifred said nothing. Had thny been alone, she would have implored her husband not to venture ; but she was too young a wife, and too thy, to interpose before these strangers. Mr. Fink divested himself of his watch, chain, and purse, and gave them into the Countess' keeping. " Pickpockets and footpads arc never particularly rare and curious objects in this part of Ihe world," he .said ; " and to-night tlioy will be out by thousands. I recom mend you, I did Brackenbury, to do as I am doing." . . So, emptying his loose silver into Ins waistcoat pocket, Laucclot followed Mr. Fink's example. You will not run into danger, Lancelot! whispered Winifred, laying one trembling hand upon his arm. " No, no, my darling ;of course not." " Ami you will conic back—pooh ?" *" Asfonn as I. can ; but Igoas a guest, remember." lie pressed horhandß hurriedly between his own. Then Mr. Fink handed him down bin hat, and with a brief "goodbye" be was gone. Tho invitation was so suddenly given and accepted, and the whole tiling passed po rnpidly, that Winifred scarcely realised it till she found herself standing with Countess Casfcelrow upon a little balcony outside the middle window ofthe'Salle a-Manger.' From hence, they presently saw the carreta emerge from the" hotel yard ; the guide on the box beside tho driver ; Lancelot and Mr. Fink looking up and lifting their hats ( as they passed the window. Tho next moment, carriage and occupants were en culpbod lin a snrgiug strcam| of vehicles, < and loat to Bight. For a loul' time the two women ftayed there, watching the crowd and the moun tain. The atmosphere was as stagnant and oppressive ns if they had been standing under the dome of a huge conservatory. Tho (juiiy below ecetncl paved with heads. And what with the reflected glare on sea and sky, and what with the light from street-lamps and carriage-lamps and open windows (every house being lit from top to bottom, and every window crowded), the whole outsido spectacle was as visible as if seen by the lurid light of a stormy sunset. Vesuvius, meanwhile, looking frightfully near, seemed en* eloped in a fiery laccwork ; while all along that line of fated villages, tho llames were distinctly seen stalking from point to point—the houses catching lire one after another, like rows of nutshells ; each house looking for a few moments as if all ita windows were illuminated ; then blazing up like a lionlire ; then crashing in, sending up a shower of sparks, and crumb ling to cinders. There was a dreadful fascination about tho.«e burning houses which unseen till overtaken by their doom, started into sight in linos of lire and va nished by the light of their own des truction. But Naples—careless, pleasure-lovinsr Naples —rnuld not long be sad, even though the mountain was thundering at her gates, and the lava working its dread will before her very windows. Already the first shock of awe was speut; already the populace had begun once more to carouse and make merry. The theatres, it is true, were closed, but the wine-Rhops were open ; and as night ad vanced, the customary hubbub of fiddling, thrumming, singin?, and castanet-playing broke out even more madly than usual among tho waterside purlieus of the city. then asfrangc incident occurred. In the midst of all this ehastly gaiety, in the midst of all this tumult of wheels, and feet, and voices, and revelry, there came a lull; such as befalf sometimes in the crisis of a tornado. And then, suddenly, there was a flare of torches and a sound of penitential chanting; and there appeared, marching with mea sured tread, a procession of priests and acolytes. One bore aloft a blackened oil painting in a tawdry frame; the rest carried torches, and candles, and breviaries. And still as they approached, followed by a vast concourse of the poorest of the popu lation, the cowd parted, fell upon its knees, burst into shrieks and writings and lamen tations, and swelled with its thousand voices this dolorous litany :— "Sancto Januario. oro pronobis!" They passed ; and the procession swept out ot sight with its wild following. And then the crowd closed up behind, and the carriages moved on, and the jollity and revelry luoke out afresh. " So Nero sansr when Rsme was burn ing I" said Countess Castelrosso. " But at least, he put on his tragic robes and sang of Troy in flames. These contcmptiblo Neapolitans look upon Vesuvius as a big cracker, let off for their amusement!" Then, settling herself in an easy chair by the open window—for they had now gone upstairs to Winifred's room on tho third floor—she added, with a coaxing smile:— " You are sure you don't mind letting me stay here with you, dear Lady Bracken bury, till our wandering husbands come back ?" "I should go beside myself with terror, if • I were alone," Winifred replied. "How long do you think they will be gone ?" " Oh, all night, I dare say." " All night I" The Countess laughed. " Dear Lady Brackenbury, docs that horrify you ? Think of the distance— think of the state of the road6—the crowds—the confusion—the difficulty." " And the danger !" "Oh as to that, I don't believe there is much danger. One is too apt to talk of the lava as if it were a raging torrent; but it doesn't move very fast, after all. How fast, Lady Brackonbury ? Well, perhaps after tho rate of a mile, or a mile-and-a-half, an hour—but then something must be allowed for the difFerfiices in the ground. Those streams that we see flowing down the cone ruu faster, of course, than the lava in the Atrio del Cavallo." " And where do you think they are by this time ? Where is Santa Anastasia ?" " Ah, my dear Lady Brackenbury, now you puzzle me ! Santa Anastasia is a long way off—far beyond San Sebastiano and Massa ; but although I saw it to-day from the Observatory, I could not give you the least idea of its whereabouts. And as for 'ces < messieurs', I don't suppose they know where they are| themselves !" After this—the Countess being too tired to talk, and Winifred too anxious—tho conversation flagged ; and by and by, des pite the trembling of the floors and the shaking of the windows, the fair American fell fast asleep. Still Winifred waked and watched; still the idle world of Naples came and went; while yonder, rushing up from tho burning heart of " the great globe itself," rose and fell and overflowed that terrible fountain of fire. A glowing roof of smoke had spread, moanwhile, over plain and bay ; and all the sky was reddened, and tho houses aud the shipping were lighted, and the stars were extinguished, by that lurid canopy which half obscured and half revealed the' horrors of the night. And where were they all this time ? The Countess guessed rightly, when she conjec tured that "ces Messieurs" themselves would hardly be able to answer that ques tion. Where, indeed ! Driving hither and thither, backwards and forwards, in gloom, aud confusion, and haste ; starting first for Santa Anastasia by way of tho high

road, and when wifhirt kalf ci mile of Ponticelli, being turned HaCk by a party of mounted carabineers—returning tta far as : 13;irra—taking to the by-roads, amt makirjrr for San Sebastiano — uettinp so near that they can feel the hot blast off the lava, and nee tlie fire playing in tongues of flame along the vines—then being again driven back by mounted guards- plunging iuto a labyrinth of lanes— waking a long detour for La Cercola, a lifili village, almost down m the1 valley, upon which the lava is fast deßoen. ding—sticking fast in a " block" of carts and waggons, in some of which whole,famuieaarß passing the night, alighting and leaving the driver to his fate, with instructions to take the carriage back, if possible, to Barra to await their return—starting ofi'on foot witri the guide, and following their leader across country—clambering over fences and stone walls • dashing recklessly through patches of standing corn—threading tne dusky mazes of vineyards and mulberry orchards —coming out into the yards of a deserted farm-house—discovering that they have all this time been beanns? too far to the north, ward—tracking up the bed of a dry torrent —scaling a hillside planted with ancient olive-trees, and emerging clewe under the walls of a largo building which looms dark against the red glare la the sky. H ere ■ brcathleM mud ballled, they pause to reconnoitre. "Where the devil are we?" shouts Lancelot, impatiently} and,.shout as he may, it is with difficulty he makes himself heard. " You seem to know as lit tie of the country as we do." The #vide, putting both hands to his mouth, ahouti back that this must be the Convent of the Cappuccini. " What Cappucciui ?" " The Cappuccini of Saft Lorenzo." " What is San Lorenzo 7 A village V The guide shakes his head. " A district. Farm—woods—vineyards. Convent property." Then, pointing higher, he is understood to say that there is a terrace above, from which the Siguoii may see the lava, the burning towns, the first plain— everything Let them follow him. 6> So, through a tangle of bushes and briars they climb the last steep bit, and emerge upon a platform outside the convent gates. Here, huddled under the walls, they find a little crowd of fugitive country folk chiefly women and children, to whom a couple of niouktiare distiibutinga dole of food and wine. Hoc, thirsty, tired, the two Englishmen and their guide thankfully accept their share of the charity. Their arrival attracts no attention. Their appearance—though Lancelot has lost his hat, and all three hays hands and clothes torn by the briars, and boots cut to piece.'! by the stoves—excites no* surprise. Are they not refugees, like the rest? The convent stands high'on the extreme point of a spur of Monte Somma. The plain and city of Naples, the bay from Portici to Ischii, the whole mountain-side, from South Anaatasia on the east to the Hermitage on the west, are visible from the terrace out side its gates. But to-night one half of that panorama is blottedoutindarkness;the other half shut oft by a curtain of smoke and fire. For, standing here aloft and in safety, those on the terrace look down upon the whole terrible scene. Yonder, from the gates of the Atno del Cavallo, pouring forth as from the very mouth of bell, they behold the whole course of that rolling river of lava. Swelled by hundreds of aflluents, itspreads to right and left a3 it rushes out upon the upper plain—it widens into avast, heaving, red-hot, semi-iluidsea—it spills over in long reaches of fire which How down towards the valley, devouring all before them. That river is two miles broad at its widest flow ing, and where the suburbs ol La Cercola are blazing, the lava has ploughed its way through vineyards six miles from its source. Even now, as they look upon it, the lava above La Cercola is seen to divide; and, dividing, sends a thin red stream in. the direction of the cultivated slopes at the foot of the spur on which the convent Btands- At this t-ight, a panic-stricken cry goes up from the little crowd upon the terrace. They arc all Sau Lorenzo folk ; and when the lava bore down upon La Cercola, they made sure that their own vineyards and olive-woods were safe. Now only t )ur Lady and the Blessed Saints can save their homes, their crops, their a!l ! The women fall on their knees, weeping ; the men clench their teeth and fists ; the friars stand muti>. Their lands are doomed. It is the will of Heaven. Already that thin red stream has widened to a river, and is fast rolling onward. There are no Christaian souls under those roofs yonder—in that homestead beyond the mulberry orchard—in that house among tho vines 1 Where is Andrea PetrucoUi t He was here a moment ago. Where is his brother Gactano? See !—there they go; racing like madmen down the hill-side. Great God ! their mother is at the farm. Their mother, the widow Francesca Petru celli; their wives ; their sisters—all their womenkind! The next moment, every man who was upon that terrace is rushing down to give what help he can. The guide, hastily bind ing a handkerchief about his own head, gives his slouch hat to Lancelot. They get along as they can ; running, jumping, stumbling over the broken ground. Emerging, lower down, from the gloom of the olive-wood, they cross the torrent-bed up which they climbed just now. But between this point and the Petrucelli-farm, there is still a mile or more of vineyards. Mr. Fink follows incredulous. That people not raving mad should stay in their houses in the face of such a peril as this, seems to him impossible. But Lancelot knows better. Lancelot knows the obsti nate fatalism, the blind superstition, with, which the Vesuvian peasant clings to his own four wall?. He sprinkles his threshold with holy water and believes that the fever cannot pass it, though his neighbours are dying close by. He sets up a little image of the Madonna on his vineyard-fence, confident that the lava will turn aside and spare it. Meanwhile they plunge on, trampling the green grapes ; leaping the boundaries \ making straight for the more distant mul berry orchards, beyond which rises a great light, like the light of a forest on fire. xf , Now they are breathing sulphur.;and smoke; and now, suddenly they are look ing down upon a burning house, surrounded by stacks, and barns and outbuilding in flames. Behind those stacks and barns, behind those poplars, which look-like obelisks of fire, there comes a steadily advancing wave of incandescent lava, red as, molten metal, wide as the river Kela in the plains of Pscstum, higher than twice the height of the tallest man. It comes neither flowing uor rolling, but unbrokenly, like a moving embankment propelled from, behind ; unhasting, unresting, irresistible as fate. But there is no time to gaze—no time to think! Yonder, driven at full galop, goes a cart crowded with women and children ; and here, darting to and fro across the yards, are a number of men (they look like sailors) saving what they can of household goods and farm implements. The house seems full of fire j but against that end.window stands a ladder. There is a man at the window ! A man with something—a child, surely I—in his arms. He comes down quickly, steadily. Leaping the last gate at a bound, the two Englishmen make for.the open, meeting' him half-way. " Are there still any to be saved ?" A stalwart man, bareheaded, bearded, clasped the rescued child to his breast with one arm, pointing back authoritatively with the other. He seems to say "Go on!" But the roar of the flames and the .thunder of the mountain drown all human sounds; and he rushes by unhraid. Unheard, but not unseen ; for the light, though only for a second, fell full upon his face. Aud Lancelot stands as if struck to stone. It was grey dawn when Winifred, worn out with watching, fell at last into a troubled sleep. It Mas grey day—Vesuvius half hidden under a heavy smoke-cloud, and the savage roar of the eruption subdued to a deep and distant thundering—when she awoke. " Lancelot I" Haggard and smoke-blackened, his clothes torn, his hands bleeding and blistered, he stood before her. " Lancelot 1-oh, thank God! Where is Mr. Fink. Where is the Countess ?" " She has this moment left the room. Fink is with her. He is all right-only a little burned aud knocked about like myself." "Burned? Heavens ! where have you been ? But you are safe - sate I" " Oh, yes ;we arc safe enough. We have been in no real danger; but .. . • Winifrod, I have something to tell you." "Something to tell me? Why do you look like that? You frighten me .... what is it?" He took her hands in his. He dropped his voice to a whisper. " I have seen him-Cuthbert—my brother—face to face!" (To be tonfimiet'on Saturday.)
