In this chapel the pictures on the walls are encircled with diamonds and other precious stones. Adjoining this room is the Chapel of the Crucifixion, where, as the guide informed us, Christ was nailed to the cross, and close by is the place where the Virgin Mary stood during the Crucifixion. Descending a flight of steps to the main floor, we entered a small cavern-like chamber.
In the darkness of this cavern-like habitation, might be discerned Madame Margot, her overgrown bulk stowed away among her domestic implements, furs, robes, blankets, and painted cases of PAR' FLECHE, in which dried meat is kept.
After what he had witnessed and been a part of there was for him no longer any circumscribing horizon to the world of possibility. For him the improbable no longer existed. He had met the incredible face to face and found it real. In the cavern-like chamber at the water-level Dulla Dad had the boat in readiness.
Our route to-day is graphically described by Denham, and the passage being short, I shall copy it. "We had now to pass the Gibel Asoud, or Black Mountain. The northernmost part of this basaltic chain commences on leaving Sockna. To the south, the mountain-path of Nifdah presents its black overhanging peaks, the deep chasm round which the path winds, bearing a most cavern-like appearance.
They had travelled in this manner for upwards of four hours, without meeting a breathing thing, or even so much as exchanging a sound between themselves, when, at length, the Indian stopped at the edge of a deep cavern-like excavation in the earth, produced by the tearing up, by the wild tempest, of an enormous pine.
In this way, living in the tree the greater part of the time, and depending for food chiefly upon the fungous excrescences and gum which grew on the outside of it, for she was not able to go in search of berries and other food, poor Penelope lived for a few days, with her dead husband on the beach, and her almost dead self in that cavern-like tree.
"Suppose we are separated, and there is only one of us in camp?" "Then, I presume, he must sit up and watch over himself. But what's the use of one of us keeping guard here?" "Why not?" "We are in this cavern-like arrangement, where no one can come upon us from the rear, while the fire will ward off danger from the front."
From the dull tomb of yesterday, with its cavern-like coldness and gloom, had come the resurrection of a new day, bright, blue, sparkling, cloudless, for March had slipped in quietly in the night, with a gentle breeze of wonderful softness, a quiet breeze, but one that knew its business, and long before daylight it had licked the hard edges of the drifts into icy blisters, and had purred its way into all sorts of forgotten corners where the snow lay thickest.
"Was that Adrian where you got on?" "It sure was," answered Kurt, with grim humor. "Than you're the feller?" "Sure," replied Kurt. It was evident that he had embarked upon an adventure. "When do we stall this freight?" "Not while we're on it, you can gamble." Other dark forms sidled out of the gloomy depths of that cavern-like corner and drew close to Kurt.
