It is related that this bridge was completed the very day that Kossuth had such urgent need for its use. Along the Danube, Mr. Emmitt saw scores of floating flour mills, anchored out in the river to catch the power to turn their wheels. From Pesth, the Emmitts went back to Vienna, and thence to Trieste, stopping at the greatest grotto in Europe — that at Adelsburg. The entrance to the grotto is by two great apertures, into one of which quite a large river flows, and follows the tourist in his 2...5 386 . REMINISCENCES OF journey through the wonderful subterranean pas- sages. Finally, a great natural cavern is reached, into which the river plunges and is lost. The river Unz, which bursts out of the mountains at Planina, is supposed to be this lost river, reappearing, after its long underground journey. In one of the largest and most magnificent caverns in the grotto, the peas- antry of the surrounding country, once a year — on Whit-Monday — give a great ball. These peasants enjoy their annual festivities, hundreds of feet below the earth's surface, and a mile from the light of day, in probably the most magnificent ball-room in the world.
