The Mountains of the Moon.--An Ocean of Verdure.--They cast Anchor.--The Towing Elephant.--A Running Fire.--Death of the Monster.--The Field-Oven.--A Meal on the Grass.--A Night on the Ground.

About four in the morning, Monday, the sun reappeared in the horizon; the clouds had dispersed¹, and a cheery breeze refreshed the morning dawn.

The earth, all redolent with fragrant² exhalations, reappeared to the gaze of our travellers. The balloon, whirled about by opposing currents, had hardly budged³ from its place, and the doctor, letting the gas contract, descended⁴ so as to get a more northerly direction. For a long while his quest was fruitless; the wind carried him toward the west until he came in sight of the famous Mountains of the Moon, which grouped themselves in a semicircle around the extremity⁵ of Lake Tanganayika; their ridges⁶, but slightly indented⁷, stood out against the bluish horizon, so that they might have been mistaken for a natural fortification, not to be passed by the explorers of the centre of Africa. Among them were a few isolated⁸ cones⁹, revealing the mark of the eternal snows.

"Here we are at last," said the doctor, "in an unexplored country! Captain Burton pushed very far to the westward¹⁰, but he could not reach those celebrated¹¹ mountains; he even denied their existence, strongly as it was affirmed by Speke, his companion. He pretended that they were born in the latter's fancy; but for us, my friends, there is no further doubt possible."
