The hillsides and valleys were yellow with the ripened crops, but the dark beauty of the great mountain was unchanged^ and held the eye as we passed beside it and around to Trapani. We kept well oflEshore and soon met a boat rowing lustily toward us, shouting ** Tuna^ tuna'' and gesticulating toward the west. If we had turned eastward we should doubtless have gone clear, but, fol- lowing their gestures, perhaps misinterpreting them, we turned westward to go outside the little island Formiche, a...nd in ten minutes more found ourselves 32 in a perfect nest of boats and nets, and had to tack and stand to the north to clear them. Then, to be on the safe side, we kept oflE and rounded Pavignana before turning to the southeast. Daybreak of the 29th found us off Selinunto on the south coast; we anchored close in and went ashore in the gig, landing between the two hills. Selinus, founded in 628 B.C. from Megara as an out- post against the Phoenician cities to the westward, had a brief and tragic history.
