IN THE PINES AND HEMLOCKS ON THE SLOPES OF ORIZABA 



"The clouds with surprising suddenness disappeared, and almost as quickly as one would 

 turn on a light the once ghostly forest was brightly illumined by the rays of a full moon! 

 The effect was thrilling, but when we looked upward through the pines and saw, impressively 

 near, the snow-crown of Orizaba gleaming brilliantly, serenely in the moonlight, we were 

 overpowered by an emotion which for a moment left us speechless" (see text, pages 551 

 and 552).
