The rock, snow-white where dry, is coated with red and orange gelatinous mats where the algae thrive in the over-flowing waters. Similar terraces of travertine are found to a height of fourteen hundred feet up the valley side.

The house shook and the bed trembled as if a great hand was moving them, and the snow slapped against the windows till it seemed that they must break. In the morning there was little change in the weather. The snow had turned to a sleet, half rain, that stuck to everything and coated it with ice. The wind was blowing as hard as ever.
