I could only observe thenarrow circle which was illuminated immediately around me; above andbeyond was apparently an unlimited space, in which the ear could catchnot the slightest sound, nor the eye find an object to rest upon. Itwas filled with silence and darkness; and yet I knew that I wasbeneath the earth, and that this space, however large it might be, wasactually bounded by solid walls. My curiosity was rather excited thangratified. In order that I might see the whole in one connected vie...w, I built fires in many places with the pieces of cane which I foundscattered among the rocks.
