uid smoke marked the path of some vast avc-stroam not visible from Sorrento. "It is impossible 1" paid Lancelot. 11 Nothing remains the same for ten seconds together. Form, colour, light, shndow, jhango and interchange and shift inces santly !—1 give it up." The balcony was strewn with sketches begun nnd flung down unfinished. He gathered these scattered leaves into a port folio, and put away his colours. "What shall we do?" he said, pacing backwards end forwards. " Will yon be afraid to go to Naples ? Or are you minded to stay here, and watch the eruption from a distance ? Don't you feel a desperate longing to do something?—to go some where ?' Winifred at or.co said that she would rather go to Naples. It was already evident, indeed, that the main flow of the lava was on the Maples aide. Even while they were yet debating when to start, a column of lawny smoke began rising from some joint behind the Observatory. This column was presently followed by another, iiad (mother; all separate, as if indicating the i-itcs of great (ires. The cloud-arch rncinwhUe, had spread alnn-t to the environs of Sor rento. It was lafein the aft'nmnon—nearly five o'clock—whun Lancelot and Winifred drove into Castellaniare. They found the harbour half emptied of it- hhi|i|><nu (most of the vessels luviin: crossed to Naples) nnd the station crowded with country-folk, raving, wailing, gesticulating. "There was no danger where this lot conic from/ ?nid a fat official, shrugging his shoulders contemptuously ("questa roba" were hi* words; literally " this stutt'," or "this rubbish"); "but the Municipality of Naples has put on a ser vice of gratuitous trains, aud wu are obliged to take them." A barefooted woman sitting on a bundle of bedding caught the words, and spr.ing in Hidden tienzy to her feet. " Ih-ar him !" she crieii, tossing her arms wildly. " Hear him I—he says there is no danger! Holy mother of God ! —no danger, wilh red cinders showering down into the streets of Portici, and everyone Hying for fear of thr lava, and San Sebastiano and M»ssa di Soiumn in llarues I" One or two intending passengers paused at this, aud began questioning tho guard. " Is it safe to go to Naples';" " Does the lava flow towards the coast ':" "It Portico is threatened, then surely the line is also threatened ?" Hut the guard, and some thrco ox four travellers who hud just come in with the train, declared unauimouidy that the cinders were not falling in Porlici, aud that there was no present danger. "They aic mad with fright, aud say whatever conies uppermost," growled the fat official, transfixing a huge cigar with his pen-knife before proceeding to light it. " These ladies and gentlemen, if they are going to JS'aplcs, had better take their places." So,despite a warn'ng howl from tbo crowd, the |iiiH»H]»crn took their scat*. There were two gentleman in the com partment *ith Lancelot aud v- inifred ; oue a military man in a blue <loak, the oilier a civilian. ' " If it coims down, it >vill hardly select the moment when wo are pn.iMii;;!" said tin; warrior, ntiliueklirg his snord and settling liinuiH in big corner. I n companion laughed lightly. " Cnrnmbo ! It was reported an hour ago that Lachrvma-Cliristi vines were in [>e'ii ; nnd they a.'c on tbii tiilc " Lancelot tlatici'il at Wiuifred and fi-lta pangof apprehension ; but she was anxiously watching tho poor folk on the platform among whom she had distributed nil the lire in her purse, and she heard nothing of thin conversation. Already, too, the train was in motion, They could not go back if they would. It was too late. Speeding forward now into the deepening gloom, they hear the teniblc voie« of the mountain rolling louder aud nearer. On every byt-road ski ted or bridged by the line of railway, are ai>eii straggling proces sions of footsr.re fupitiirefl, and files of countiv cnitsladeu with poor furniture. A I every little station there is the same fright ened crowd—old men ; old women ; mothers with infants in their firms ; little children, *omc with their aprons full of broad, others carrying a pet kitten, or a bird in a case. Many of tbeie poor souls have stored their household goods in the cellais of their cot tages, rescuing only their beds nnd bedding. Nnt the lejst striking feature of this univer sal Kxodus is the indolence nnd indifference of the strong. While the weak and ihe aeed are dragging trucks and barrows and plod ding under hurJeuß, all th« railway bridjrc and cmbarkmriiti, all tbo little tea-side piera and Inniling-p'a'cs.all the walls and house-tops, are crowded with msn nnd boys i>tnring, clamouiing, mih king, and doing nothing. Leaving in t^c rw the long nuund of PoniDcii and pissing Torredell" AnnuDziata, the line now skirt* the lower slopes of Vesu vius Thfgri'gtccnetdwers grey a'ld threaten ing against a black background, and from the heart of a vast rolnnri of Mnnke, throws up a perpetually rising and falling fountain of living fire. Drawiug still nearrr, that fountain is ?e*n to he mingled with »howw of red hot stones. Now, too, the din of the eruption becomes every moment more deafening. It is neither like thunder, nor like discharges of artillery, nor like anything in heaven or earth but itcclf. All other terrible noises—even the raging of the sea at its fiercest—are intermittent. But this dread reverberation fills all the space ebtwixt earth and sky with one solid im placable ro»r. Winifred sat motionless ; her eyes fixed, her lips while, her hands locked one in the other. "Dear heart, do not be frightened," Lancelot £a,id, bending forward ; " we are in no danger here." She saw the movement of bis lips, and guessed the words. " Oh, but I'am ' frightened !'' she said. "It is awful. It is like listening to the voice of Ciod I" But neither heard a word spoken by the othrr. Now the train stops at Torre del Greco. Behind the barrier they tee more women ; more children ; a dog keeping watch over a pile of household goods ; a big man wringing his hands and crying like a girl. The guard runt beside the carriages—shouts the name of the station—blows his bugle. But all passes in dumb show ; for neither those iv the train nor those on the platform heir any sound save the One. Not even the steam-whistle, nor the motion of the engine, is audible. Portici next. But hero is no waiting crowd. Portici is empty. Its streets are deserted ; its population has fled. And yonder, suspended above the town, two streams of fire are slowly smoking down the cone. _ The lava shows crimson in the deepening dusk ; creeping, twisting, writh iug, lapping mass overmans, with something of a live horror iv its motion, as of a reptile in agony. And now, Portici being left behind, the officer aud his companion iise and press to the window at which Lancelot and Winifred are fitting. The air grows thick aud nil phurous. A broadening copper glare streams up the sky. The last straggling hauso* are passed ; the last curve is turned j and, as the train enters upon the broad valley, between Vesuvius and Naples, come 3 into sight, suddenly, the whole westward flank of (the mountain; its ridged buttresses channelled by innumerable rivers of fire— livers meeting, mingling, parting, yet all rushing to ore common goal ; that goal a vast natural platform some three or four hundred feet above the plain. Here they unite, spreading to right and left in one broad lake of fire ; and upon the brink of this lake, stationed perhaps a mile apart, like the outposts of a Satanic camp, stand three blazing villages. Whether purposely, that the passengers might gaze upon this appalling spectacle, or from some other cause, the engine at this point slackens speed, and, without nctually standing still, moves at almost a footpaco across the valley. CHAPTER t^IlJ. AT THE HOTEL DE ROME. It WAS- after sunset and nearly dusk whon the train steamed into the station at Naples ; for here, to the leeward of the smoke, the natural order of day and dark once more prevailed. Aho—the distance between Naples and Vesuvius being about equal to the distance between Vesuvius and Costellnmare—the roar of the eruption was sp far subdued that to hear and be heard waa no longer in.poasible. All Naples was out; immense crowds having gathered at every spot from which the mountain was visible. The quay of Sante Lucia was one of the sea of heads. The housetops, the windows, the bftlconiesj were lined with gazers. The road-way was blocked with carriages, The break-water was black with clos'ely-packod human beings, iivon tho lamp-posts and the trees along the quays, even the yards and rigging of the vessels in the harbour, were covered with spectator?. There is always something impressive in the mere presence of a VBst multitude, even though the occasion be joyous and the mul titude disposed to merriment; but iv the sullen silence of these tens of thousands there was a solemnity not to be told in words. Every face wore the e<\me fixed look, and was turned in th* same di-' rection, w

Then, as now, the Villa di Rcmn commonly called the Hotel do Rome was* the best of the few Neapolitan hostelrits which commanded a view of Vesuvius, y 0 the Hotel de Eome, therefore- drivinc slowly rcith many stoppages—did Lancelot and Winifred Btraightway repair, 'fhev found that well-conducted establishment in a state of abnormal confusion ; the yard full of hack carriages ; the landings and passa ges full of luggage; porters everywhere waiters nowhe-re. Here were parties of travellers hurrying away in terror by the evening trains to Capua, en route for Itome ■ others attracted by the eruptiou, just arrived or arriving. Some were clamouring for their bills ; others for accommodation. Lancelot, as one of the latter, having with difficulty gained audience of the bewildered landlord, succeeded in securing (upon exorbitant terms) a third-floor apart ment ovcrlooking'the bay at.d the nionn", tain. It was now close upon nine o'clock, and a desultory ' table d' hOte' dinner which had been dragging its plow length along ever bince half-past-fix, was ttill going on in the ir'alle A Manjrcr. Never had any of those present sat down to such a dinner. Con. versing across the table, they had to speak os loudly as if talking across v street. The windows shook ; the pWs and silver rat. tied ; the floor* trembled. People took" their feats, dusty and travel.ptaincd, j U gt as they had conic (iff their journey* Others went away in the n:i(!(l] e of their dinner?. Even those who were neither coming nor tioing, laid down tlieir knives and forks nvevy now nnd then, and wentto the windows to pee if there was any change. Here, being in need of food and rest Lancelot ami Winifred thought themselve3 fortunate when they got a srared-looking waiter to bring them some cold soup and a dish of languid cutlets. Presently the door opened, and there entered a tall, thin man, with an eye«laf>s screwed into his right eye, his hat in" Ins hand, and a lady's shawl upon his arm. He was fo very tall that he had to stoop 'as he passed under the chandelier; and so thin that if, like Peter Schlernnil, he had sold his diadow to the devil, no one would have missed it. Hambling up the room and looking for a place to bis liking, he fixed upon two chairs facing those occupied by Lancelot and Wiuifred. " Here—'qui, '" he paid,- eking out fcia scant Italian with an undue proportion of his native English. " These two—'questa' 'due ' ; and dinner immediately—do you understand ? ' Presto'—'subito'—ircine. diately." Then, looking across the table, he stared, let the. glass drop from his eye, and eiacu. lated: "Eh ?—ia it possible ? Lord Bracken. bury 1" Lancelot rose, ar.d the two men shook hands across the table. " When I last beard of you," said Lance« lot, " You wt re at Constantinople, and had been at Falmyia. I trust the Conntesa Castelrosso is well ? You do not know my wife ? "Winifred, this is Mr Fink, whose njme must be familiar to you." Mr Fink, bowing profoundly, was seeu rather than heard to say that he was en> chanted to—to—to have the honour of— of making Lady Brackenbury's acquaint tance. ! "We were at Ischia," he paid, speaking with a curious mixture of flurry and henta. tion; "but we ru.ihfd across at the first burst of the eruption. Fearful noise I—in> possible to make one'ssdf beard without bawling. I beg a thousand pardons !' Saying which, Mr Fink (having carefully deposited the shawl in the chair and his hat in the other) rambled out of the room again, returning presently with the Countess Castclrrsso, who looked as delicately freth and beautiful, as elegantly flounced, rilled, and clear-starched, as if there were no such hoirors as smoke and sulphur in the world. " For years I have bren djing to know you, Lady lirackenbury," she said, when greetings and introductions were over, and they btd settled into their places. "Yes; for years—ever since I became your neigh bour. Cut then, you know, you never called upon me ! My husband would not let me call upon you. He told me that it was apninst the English law, and punishable with transportation for life. But I have heard a great deal about you from Mrs Pennefeather—and about Langtrcy Grange. She tells me that it is the most 'beautiful old timber-house in the three centuries. We li.ito timber-houses in America—real old ones, too ; as old almost, as the time of the Pilgriai Fathers ; but then the oldest of ours would, of course, be athingof yesterday compared with Langtrey Grange." "My aunt was an old lady," Winifred said, "and we never called upon any one." " Mrs PenncfeatVicr told me you did not care for society, Lady Brackenbury ; and that comforted me. I knew theu you were not leaving me out in the cold." '• I haidly know whether we cared for society or not," Winifred replied, simply. "We were very poor; and, not being able to afford it, we never thought about it." The fair Countess blnshed crimson, and, for probably the lirst time in her life, knew not what to say. According to her creed, ugliness and poverty were the two cruellest ills that flesh is heir to ; aud she would as soon have thought of tauntiDg an uncomely woman with her uucomliuess as of remind ing her new acquaintance of the straitened circumstances of her girlhood. She little dreamed tint those four words, " We were very poor,' cost Winifred no more annoy ance or false shame than she might have felt in saying, ,'" We were very far off," or " We were very much engaged." Mr Fink, however, divining his wife's disrray, plunged headlong into the eruption, and turned the conversation. " You would never guess where we have just come from," he said, making a desper. ate effort to be audible. " Well, we happen to be acquainted with Signor Melloni, the Director of the Observatory yonder ; so we chartered a steamer from lachia to Portici, and from Portid went direct to the Observatory, where we remained all the afternoon. We saw the hva-stream poor down the Atrio del Cavallo and shape its course for San Sebastiano. Yes, indeed !— a terrific sight! The inhabitants flying for their lives—the vineyards disappearing as the molten mass moved on—then the town reached, crushed, and fixed . . . oh, appalling 1 As for the noise, the heat, the smoke, and the sulphur-fumes, they were over-whelmjng. When we came ia h&lf-an-hour ago, you would not hare recognised us. "We were is Hack as niggers," ''But you must have been must in great danger,' said Winifred, tuining to the Countess Castelroeso. " Danger!—none at all, Lady Bracken bury ; unless from suffocation. Stationed as the Observatory is on a spur of the moun tain—ah ! you have not been up Vesuvius t Well, then, imagine yourself stauding on the Montanvert and looking down upon the Mer de Glace ; only instead of a fixed torrent of bristling ice, you look down upon a steadily moving stream of red-hot lava ! You don't know the Mer do Glace, Lady Bracken bury? How happy you are to have Clamounix yet to come! Do you read Dante ? Wellj novy, do you know that I have a theory about the Inferno; ann my theory is that Daute took his notion of the lowest circle from a Swiss glacier; and his circle cf fire from an eruption of Vesuvius. He might have passed through Switzerland or Savoy, when he went to Paris, you know; and as for Vesuvius, there was an eruption in 1306—50 Murray says ; and in' 1306 Dante would have been forty-one years of age. You remember tho description of the city of Dis, with its red-hot towers and battlements j and beyond those, the lake of burning pitch ? You have only to took out of tho window, and there you liave the whole scene I How I wish you could hayo been with us this afurrjoon ! Ah, don't shake your head, dear Lady Brackenbury! —we would (have insisted, and you would have gone. There was absolutely no danger. And such a sight !-I would not have niiased it for worlds. An awful calamity, of course ; but if such a calamity 'wust' take placo—and Signor Melloni says the crater was full of lava—then we are all wonderfully fortunate to he in Naples at the time." Winifred looked at her, half doubting whether she really quite liked this brilliant, graceful, voluble creature who seemed so willing to please and be pleased. "Wonderfully fortunate I"—OS if anything connected with such a dreadful catastrophe could be "wonderfully fortunate f And then all this easy theorising about Dante ; and this babbie of Switzerland, and Chsmounix, and the Mer de Glace ! "How tremendous the reverberations are, even at this distance \" said the Countess. " It is like silting down to dinner in a besieged city—only more grand nnd awful, ah 1 Lady Brackenbnry, you are thinking that I don't know what that is j but you are mistaken. lam familiar with most of the horrors of war. I went through the greater pait of the campaign in Texas—in ■ the ambulance service, 'bien ev,'<endu.' I Did you suppose that I shouldered a, musket, aud served in the ranks!
