Farther
still
,
beyond
the
hot
springs
and
tumultuous
geysers
,
came
the
solfataras
.
The
ground
looked
as
if
covered
with
large
pustules
.
These
were
slumbering
craters
full
of
cracks
and
fissures
from
which
rose
various
gases
.
The
air
was
saturated
with
the
acrid
and
unpleasant
odor
of
sulphurous
acid
.
The
ground
was
encrusted
with
sulphur
and
crystalline
concretions
.
All
this
incalculable
wealth
had
been
accumulating
for
centuries
,
and
if
the
sulphur
beds
of
Sicily
should
ever
be
exhausted
,
it
is
here
,
in
this
little
known
district
of
New
Zealand
,
that
supplies
must
be
sought
.
The
fatigue
in
traveling
in
such
a
country
as
this
will
be
best
understood
.
Camping
was
very
difficult
,
and
the
sportsmen
of
the
party
shot
nothing
worthy
of
Olbinett
's
skill
;
so
that
they
had
generally
to
content
themselves
with
fern
and
sweet
potato
--
a
poor
diet
which
was
scarcely
sufficient
to
recruit
the
exhausted
strength
of
the
little
party
,
who
were
all
anxious
to
escape
from
this
barren
region
.
But
four
days
at
least
must
elapse
before
they
could
hope
to
leave
it
.
On
February
23
,
at
a
distance
of
fifty
miles
from
Maunganamu
,
Glenarvan
called
a
halt
,
and
camped
at
the
foot
of
a
nameless
mountain
,
marked
on
Paganel
's
map
.
The
wooded
plains
stretched
away
from
sight
,
and
great
forests
appeared
on
the
horizon
.
That
day
McNabbs
and
Robert
killed
three
kiwis
,
which
filled
the
chief
place
on
their
table
,
not
for
long
,
however
,
for
in
a
few
moments
they
were
all
consumed
from
the
beaks
to
the
claws
.
At
dessert
,
between
the
potatoes
and
sweet
potatoes
,
Paganel
moved
a
resolution
which
was
carried
with
enthusiasm
.
He
proposed
to
give
the
name
of
Glenarvan
to
this
unnamed
mountain
,
which
rose
3,000
feet
high
,
and
then
was
lost
in
the
clouds
,
and
he
printed
carefully
on
his
map
the
name
of
the
Scottish
nobleman
.
It
would
be
idle
to
narrate
all
the
monotonous
and
uninteresting
details
of
the
rest
of
the
journey
.
Only
two
or
three
occurrences
of
any
importance
took
place
on
the
way
from
the
lakes
to
the
Pacific
Ocean
.
The
march
was
all
day
long
across
forests
and
plains
.
John
took
observations
of
the
sun
and
stars
.
Neither
heat
nor
rain
increased
the
discomfort
of
the
journey
,
but
the
travelers
were
so
reduced
by
the
trials
they
had
undergone
,
that
they
made
very
slow
progress
;
and
they
longed
to
arrive
at
the
mission
station
.
They
still
chatted
,
but
the
conversation
had
ceased
to
be
general
.
The
little
party
broke
up
into
groups
,
attracted
to
each
other
,
not
by
narrow
sympathies
,
but
by
a
more
personal
communion
of
ideas
.
Glenarvan
generally
walked
alone
;
his
mind
seemed
to
recur
to
his
unfortunate
crew
,
as
he
drew
nearer
to
the
sea
.
He
apparently
lost
sight
of
the
dangers
which
lay
before
them
on
their
way
to
Auckland
,
in
the
thought
of
his
massacred
men
;
the
horrible
picture
haunted
him
.
