Text Appearing Before Image:
View of opeu cutting, from first tuuiiel. any case, but especially if we have to grope our way in the dark,as many do, it is best to keep now on the right, close to thewall, where, within convenient reach throughout the wholelength, is a grooved shelf, which formerly served as a conduit 120 ON THE ANCIENT CITY AND TORT for supplying the town with water; and if we follow the courseof this, it will facilitate our progress considerably.

The length of theupper tunnel is just double that of the other; but the roadthrough it is better, and we soon find ourselves emerging fromit into a circumscribed valley, or wild, rocky glen, in the centreof which is the bed of a considerable mountain torrent. Hugestones and holders lie scattered on every side. To the left, and OF SELEUCIA FIERI A. 121 before us, the heights, diverging, take a semi-lunar form ; and,as we advance, we find ourselves midway between two cres-cents, or gigantic hollows, the rocks still receding, and risingin terraces, one above the other,
