Our supper was eaten with ease and rapidity, after which everybody did the best he could for himself within the hollow of the
crater1. The bed was hard, the shelter unsatisfactory, the situation painful—lying in the open air, five thousand feet above the level of the sea!
Nevertheless, it has seldom happened to me to sleep so well as I did on that particular night. I did not even dream. So much for the effects of what my uncle called "
wholesome2 fatigue3."
Next day, when we awoke under the rays of a bright and glorious sun, we were nearly frozen by the keen air. I left my
granite4 couch and made one of the party to enjoy a view of the magnificent spectacle which developed itself, panorama-like, at our feet.
I stood upon the lofty summit of Mount Sneffels' southern peak. Thence I was able to obtain a view of the greater part of the island. The optical
delusion5, common to all lofty heights, raised the shores of the island, while the central portions appeared
depressed6. It was by no means too great a flight of fancy to believe that a giant picture was stretched out before me. I could see the deep valleys that crossed each other in every direction. I could see
precipices7 looking like sides of wells, lakes that seemed to be changed into ponds, ponds that looked like
puddles8, and rivers that were transformed into petty
brooks9. To my right were
glaciers10 upon glaciers, and multiplied peaks, topped with light clouds of smoke.
