In making the descent Mount Vesuvious seems to drop sheer away below our feet. But drifting clouds sometimes shut our view and the thrill of dropping which might might otherwise he realized [illegible] lost. Mt. Vesuvious is one of the most stupendous phenomena that we have see anywhere It is overwhelming! It is awe inspiring! It is gigantic!
