Vesuvius, Herculaneum, and Pompeii are all to the eastward of Naples, following the shore of the bay. To the westward, at the distance of about a mile or two from the centre of the town, is a famous passage through a hill, like the tunnel of a railway, which is considered a great curiosity. This passage is called the Grotto of Posilipo. You will see its place marked upon the map.
It seemed to him that Fate was bent upon destroying him, so rapid and stunning were the blows she dealt him. But a great success was now in store for him, and he was to rise out of his troubles to the realization of his brightest hopes.
