(_UNITED STATES_) / BAYARD TAYLOR
There was no outbreathing from the regions below as we stood at the / entrance to the cave, the upper atmosphere having precisely the same / temperature. We advanced in single file down the Main Avenue, which, / from the increased number of lamps, showed with greater distinctness / than on our first trip. Without pausing at any of the objects of / interest on the road, we marched to the Giant's Coffin, crawled through / the hole behind it, passed the Deserted Chambers, and reached the / Bottomless Pit, the limit of our journey in this direction the previous / day.
