(Albula and Julier Passes). Church most romanesque- 

 ically and brilliantly frescoed outside. From Tiefencasten 

 forth we followed a series of magnificent cliffs and gorges 

 along the Pass-mal. . . . Demon conductor meanwhile, 

 rejoicing in the terrors of his passengers, takes care to 

 point out all the dangers of the road. At the bridge the 

 horrors culminated, and little boys let off stones down the 

 chasm with great effect. Farther on many tunnels and 

 steep precipices, and so intoThusis at 7.15, getting darker. 

 Onwards in the dusk, with glow-worms in the hedges, to

 Oustalet (ornithologist) ; and M. E. Rivier (cave digger) " ;
