Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Patchwork, Vol. 3 of 3 As we approached Catania, we could distinguish very plainly at each end of the town, a broad black wall of lava, two streams well known in history - one of which destroyed the mole, and the other overwhelmed a great part of the city. Notwithstanding this, and fifty other examples, the inhabitants of Catania, and, indeed all round the foot of Mount Etna, like the Neapolitans who are similarly circumstanced on the flanks of Vesuvius, appear quite unconscious of their danger. They even show off to strangers, with the greatest interest, such portions of the ancient submerged houses as the accidental course of the stream has left visible, peeping from under many fathoms of solid lava! This curious sight, and various other considerations, determined us to make the tour of the base of Mount Etna before going to the top; and we should have set off at once, had it been in any other country.
