After having bathed in the cool and limpid water of the little river of San Juan, the bottom of which is of basaltic grunstein, we continued our journey at two in the morning, by Ortiz and Parapara, to the Mesa de Paja. The road to the Llanos being at that time infested with robbers, several travellers joined us so as to form a sort of caravan.
The close relations we observed near the Cerro de Chacao, between the grunstein and the serpentine, cannot surprise these geologists who have studied the mountains of Franconia and Silesia.
The grunstein, which at first alternated with strata of serpentine, or was connected with that rock by insensible transitions, is seen alone, sometimes in strata considerably inclined, and sometimes in balls with concentric strata, imbedded in strata of the same substance.
Come away from here, that the sight of this child may not yet more enfeeble your heart. Come, much more remains to be done." And, reverently taking Elizabeth's hand, he led her to the door. "Now do your duty," said he to Grunstein. "Seize young Ivan." "But remember my command, and spare him," said Elizabeth, slowly and hesitatingly leaving the chamber. "Now to Ivan!"
Anna Leopoldowna had hardly left the room in which she had been surprised and captured, when Lestocq turned to Grunstein with a new order. "Now," said he, in an undertone to him "now hasten to seize the emperor. This little Ivan must be annihilated." Elizabeth had overheard these words, and remembering Anna's last prayer, she exclaimed with vehemence: "No, no, I say, he shall not be annihilated!
No one appeared at the darkened windows of the silent palaces, no one boded that a new empress was passing through the streets, an empress, who at this time had but two subjects in her train! They had now reached the casern of the Peobrajensky regiment. There they halted. In the open door stands Grunstein with his thirty recruits.
She had become empress because Lestocq was tired of being only physician to a poor princess; because Grunstein thought the position of under-officer was far too humble for him, and because Alexis Razumovsky, the former precentor in the imperial chapel, found it desirable to add to his name the title of count or prince! When St.
"Mamma, Frau von Walden," he exclaimed, "we are close to that place where they make the cups and saucers. Herr von Walden said we weren't to forget to go there and you all would have forgotten, you see, if it hadn't been for me," he added complacently. "Grünstein," said Frau von Walden.
These garnets are of a very fine red, and are found in the grunstein only. They are neither in the gneiss, which serves as a cement to the balls, nor in the mica-slate, which the veins traverse.
This phenomenon is the more remarkable, as the grunsteins which are called primitive almost always contain quartz in Europe. The most general dip of the slates of Piedras Azules, of the grunsteins of Parapara, and of the pyroxenic amygdaloids embedded in strata of grunstein, does not follow the slope of the ground from north to south, but is pretty regular towards the north.
