Recounts some Terrible and some Vigorous Deeds.
How long our hero lay in this state he could not tell, but on recovering his faculties1 he became conscious of the fact that he was in total darkness, lying on his back, with a tremendous weight pressing on his chest. For a few moments he remained still, quite unable to recollect2 what had occurred, or where he was.
Suddenly memory resumed its office—the earthquake! the fall of the hotel!—and, with a gush3 of horror, he realised the terrible truth that he was buried alive.
The reader must have been in the position we describe to understand fully4 the feelings of the poor youth at that moment. His first impulse was to make a violent effort to shake off the intolerable weight that almost suffocated5 him; but his efforts, strong though he was, proved in vain. It felt as if a mountain held him down. Then the thought of Manuela rushed in upon him, and he uttered a loud cry. The sound of his voice in the confined space was terrible. It seemed to rush in upon his brain with awful din6. In his agony, a feeling of frantic7 despair came over him, and, with the strength of a giant, he struggled to be free, but still without success. Exhausted8 as much by his horror as by his efforts, he lay for some minutes quite still, his brain keenly alive and thirsting, as it were, for some sound that might convey hope. No sound was to be heard, save the intense beating of his own pulsations which seemed to throb9 into his ears, and down into his very extremities
