It has three peaks a little elevated above its body, and along its sides are nnmerons craters, ihe seats of former eruptions. The crater of the principal peak is about a hundred feet in depth. It is composed chiefly of basalts and la va, but slag sand and ashes cover a great part of its surface, and obsidian is among its most remarkable products Thcie have been forty-three erup tions of Mount Ilecla recorded within the last thousand years, five of which have been simultaneous with Vesuvious four with those of Etna, and one with those of both. The last eruption began September 2, 1845. and lasted until April 6, 1840. On the 23d of November, the torrent of lava, two miles from the crater, was a mi'e in width, and from forty to fifty feet iu depth. Mi. Carl Steinman visited Ilecla just previous to this terilic eruption, and had one ol the narrowest escapes from a horrible dentil, that ever befell ad venturous uian. We give his narrative in almost his own words: ‘•On the next morning after rny ar iht. cjn:i 11 viliao-e at the foot of the volcano, I engageT a guide, a i.mu ful, honest fellow, and set out for a visit to the noted crater. ••From the very first it seemed as il 1 had passed the confines, and was en* teiinga new world, so entirely differ ent was the scenery. “As you press upward toward the focui of all this horror of burning stuff, von find the peril, dreariness and deso lation increase, until its awlulness be comes sublime; and at length, when you stand on the topmost point of this burning world, of chaos, you instinct ively raise your heart to God, with a shudder ol terror, to restore you to the great living world that you have left behind you. “For six mortal hours, three on horseback and three on foot—had I been clambering upward from the low er world, and now among the clouds and mist that rolled around me I stood in a world of lava mountains, ice and snow, the lava as black as ink, the snow of its dazzling whiteness, and not in all the region, the slightest brush, shrub, plant, or living creature, except the guide and myself. “As far as the eye coni:! discern, when the sweepiug clouds afforded a view, was a succession of dark hills, glistening glaciers, snow-capped peaks, and a frozen stream, a world devoid of life, the awlnl solitude of solitude itself, —filled with gaping caverns, terilic abytsess, and Styrgian caves, which echoed only the sullen reverbations of thunder or the groanings of the trou - bleJ earth beneath. ‘•So impressive was the scene that I felt a strange chill creeping over me, and I shouted again to break the hor rible stillness, which was more awe-in spiring than the thunders of a thousand Niagras. 1 frequently found myself imagining that I was dreaming, and I was only reassured by pinching myself or conversing with my guide. “Drawing my bl mket around me to protect me from the chilling atmos phere, and cautiously puncturing the ground with my sharp pointed stick be fore me, to make siue of my footsteps, I began to pick my way over piles and heaps oflava, and pitchfalls and patch es of ice and snow, mv guide keeping near me, and often warning me when he imagined my footsteps were leading me into danger. “Occasionally I struck fragments of lava that rolled down behind me, but as discoyered no signs of the crater, which eighty years ago had vomited forth its tremendous volume of melted black sand. At length however, I reached the summit, and looked down into a sort of basin, open at the lower side, and having several deep teams or chasms in its center, into which the melted snow and ice on its side, were running in small streams. A repulsive order in the shape of a thin, smoky vapor, came up and I fan cied I heard a deep rumbling noise that sounded lar down iu the earth. “I turned to my guide, and was about tospeait, when I noticed that lie was trembling, and was as pale as death. “What is the matter?” I asked, you seem frightened. “Oh my God ! he gasped, ‘■there"s going to be another eruption."' “How do you know that?” Have vou ever been here before ? “Yes, but I never saw it look so be fore. When 1 was here last, there was no hollow there, but only a level piece of snow and ice. “Indeed!” I exclaimed with intense interest ; and you judge that fact to be decisive as regards an eruption ?” “Oh my master, said he in the great est agony, what else could have caused this change ? You see the ice is nearly ; gone, and what is left is fast melting, 1 and will soon be gone. “I observed at this point that my ! feet had a sensation of warmth, and stooping down found the ground quite hot. ••Hew i* this ? I enquired. “All wrong; there’s trouble brewing master; you hail better leave. I recalled that the last eruption of lleela occurred eighty years fffcfoTe, long before the birth ol my guide, and con sequently he could know js little of that as I did. This foolish thought pre- | vented me from putting the faith in Ins words that 1 ought to have done. “There is no hurry I replied ; l have been so long in finding my way to the top, that 1 am hardly disposed to leave 1 until I have seen more of the volcano. “I observed bis paleness and tremb- . ling increase if possible, but still felt a reluctance to retreat so ignominiously i after toiling so hard to make the sum mit. j lie stood .a moment in silence, and then ventured again : “Let us go while there is time. I am afraid to remain here. We may be overwhelmed at any moment. Hold on ! said 1, sensible of a cu rious fascination, such as sometimes ; comes over one when on the brink ol ; most appalling peril. It is true that ; the ice has melted away, but it baa done i so very gradually, I have spent a great deal of time, and when I started, it was with the resolve to see lleela. “Heaven knows 1 have seen to much already be replied ; more than lias ev er been seen by mortal man. what ■Hmy&'Jt'M (Jtflilill'U %“•* ner of my guide. “At least, I thick so. “And 1 think you are mistaken. I cannot consent to go back until I have descended into this basin, and looked down into one of those chasms. “Let me beseech you do not! It will be the death ol you. “If you are afraid you can return, said I with an unfeeling lone for which there was no justification. “Oh no my master, 1 will not leave you. “All I ask is that you will merely waif for me.” ‘I had no right even to ask that, and consider my guide a simpleton because lie acceded to my request. I ivill wait, lie replied, but remem ber when you go down that I kept en treating you not to do so I bold you blameless whatever should occur, so have no apprehensions upon that score. “The crater was about twenty yards in depth, with sides that sloapod so gently that it could be descended easi ly. if ordinarv care was exercised. “I firit felt the lava, and found it quite hot, but not uncomfortably so, and using mv stick with great precau tion, I begun the descent. 1 observed the temprature of the lava beneath my feet constantly increasing, but l bad on thick shoes and knew that they would be unbanned. I noticed also a thick, sulphuriotis ordor, but considered this nothing un usual, although it left a thick, disa greeable taste on inv mouth and gave an unpleasent twinge to my ollacto ries. The rill of water made by the melt ing ice flowed hissing down, and was lost to view in the dark chasm from which came puffs of hot air, accom panied by a rumbling and trembling of the ground. 'The place, the sceue. and withal the sense oi danger connected with it, held me there by a sort of magnetic fascina tion, and I soon found myself strongly tempted to throw myself into the awful abyss. Concions that reason some times looses her power at such times. I forced myself backward a few feet, but still remained fearfully near the opening, heedless of the earnest entreat ies of my guide. Giving no heed therefoie to his ear nest solicitations, I now resolved if pos sible to sound the chasm before me, and then proceed to examine the other. Lor this purpose I broke oil a small piece ol lava, and stepping to the very edge of the precipice, dropped it down, and listened to the hollow reverbera tions, as it was bounding from side to side, long after it was lost to tiie eye. The depth was so immense that I heard it for fully a minute, and then the sound seemed rather to die out than to cease because of the block hav ing reached its destination. It was a terrific depth, and as 1 drew back with a shudder, a gust of hot sulphurious air pulled upward, followed immediately i by a steam like vapor, and a heavy, i hollow boom, as if a piece of ordinance had discharged far down in the bowels ol the mountain. By this time I had regained my com mon sense and became impiessed with j the danger that hung over me. I turn ed to fly, when all at once there cpinve a rumbling craah- and the ground heav ing, shaking, and rolling under me, be gan to crumble of! into the dreadlul a b) ss.- 1 was thrown down and on my hands and knees was scrambling onward and upward, when two blocks rolling to- j getiier, caught my leet and legs between them, and without actually crushing, held them as in a vice. Then eaiwe j another crash and crumble, the lava slid away from behind me, and I was left on the very verge of that awful j gulf, now widened some fifteen or twen- j ty feet, down into which 1 looked with horror-strained eyes, only to see dark ness and death below, and breathe the j NO. SL almost suffocating vapor, that rushed up from that seemingly bottomless pit. “Oh. the horrors of that awful real**' ration ! What pen or tongue can por tray them f There, over the mouth of ! a black and heated abyss, 1 was held suspended, a helpless and ron«ii>u« prisoner to be hurled downward by tihe next great throe of trembling nature. “Help ! help ! help !—for the love of God, help!” I shrieked, in the very agony of inv despair. “1 looked up and around to catch sight of my guide, but he, with a inenduble prudence. I could but admit in my dire extremity, had sought his own safety in flight. “I had nothing to rely on but the mercy ol heaven and I prayed to God as 1 never praved before lor a forgive ness of my tins, that they might not follow me to judgement. “It might be a second, it might hr minute, it might be an hour, that [ should have to undergo a living death; but the time long or short. llt It tint there was no escape limn a doom which even now makes me grow pale and shudder when I think ol it. “Above me was a clear blue sky - beneath me a black and horrible abyss, around me sickening vapors that made my brain grow dizzy. Humbling ami hissing sounds warned mo that another convulsion might occur at anv moineui, Home and friends I should never see a gain, and my tomb would be the vul . canic lleela ! •Istrove with the madness of deeper'* [ ntion to disengage mv imprisoned limbs, but I might as well have ai:empted to move the mountains itst If. There 1 was fixed and fastened for a terrible death I was awaiting. Oh, god ol litaven ! what a fate ! | All at once I heard a shoot. »nd| looking around. I helield with feelings tli'u cannot he described, my faithful guide, hastened down the sides of the j crater to my relief. He had fled in ter ror at the first ominous demonstra tion, hut had mihly turned to save me. if possible, by risking Ins life lor mine. "1 warned you master,’ said lie as he came tip, his eyes starting, and his countenance expressive of commisera tion and terror. | “I sprang forwrad—l siezed aln nd ! of tiie guide—we both struggled tlespt r- I atcly and the next moment we had both hdlen, locked in each others arms upon the solid earth above. I was free but still upon the verge of the pit, andianv moment might see us both hurled ti> destruction. ‘Quick! quirk,—liter's not a moment to lose!’cried the guide. Up. up, and run for your life !’ ‘I staggered to my feel, with a wild cry of hope and fear, and half carried by my faithful companion, hurried the sloping sides of the crater. “As we reached the ridge above, the I ground shook with heavy explosion, and looking hack, I saw with a horror which no pen can depict the dark, smoking pit where we had so lately stood- Without wailing to see mure I turned and tied over the rough ground ns fast as ui) bruised limbs would per mit. ‘We reached our horses in safety, and hurrying down the mountain; g ive i the alarm to the villagers, who joined us in our flight across the country till a safe distance was gained-. ry ‘A few days later, when the mighty and long extinct Uocla was eonvul j sing the island, ami pouring fourth its (tremendous Melted lava, l was far out upon the Atlantic, on my way home, i' v 11 cte 1 devoutly thanked God again and again that 1 had lived to tell my wonderful escape from a death in ns burning enter.
