practically without incident. While he
was still at the Austrian capital there
occurred the famous battle of Wagram

The itinerary for the Press Congress
delegates, calls for their arrival hefe on
the evening of October 12 and it has
been arranged that the next twe- days
will be spent by the delegates at the
volcano among the wondjrs of Ameri
ca's latest National Park. All indications
point to a culmination of Kilauea's activ
ities about that time, the observatory re
ports and if these conditions materialize
delegates will witness a scene of mar
velous and awe-inspiring brilliance, Mr.
deVis-Norton said.
Many strange things are transpiring
in connection with the rapid upward
swell of the molten interior of the
earth within the vent of Kilauea,, Mr.
deVis-Norton said, A gigantic mass of
rock is being forced steadily up from
the depths and is already rearing its
crest high above the white hot torrents
that lap its base. The continuous move
ment and the vibration of this great
mass is causing heavy avalanches to
rush down its sides. The result is that
it has scaled off until the rock mass has
taken the form of an extremely sharp
pinnacle towering high above the lakes.
Another phenomenon in evidence is
causing considerable comment. The
great subsidence that occurred after the
explosive eruption of last March at
Kilauea caused heavy avalanches to fall
from the walls of the great firepit.
These, crashing down to the depths,
formed talus slopes which became cov
ered with debris from above. During the
past few days a series of remarkable
spouting lava springs have broken out
at intervals along the top of these de
bris slopes, showing that art irresistible
torrent of lava is forcing its way up
within them- Mr. DeVis-Norton said.
The various points of emergence are
high obove the lava lakes and every few
moments, glittering and spectacular
cascades of molten fire and flame roar
down over the slopes to the lakes below.
It is "as though the whirlpool rapids
at Niagara Falls had been turned into
flame" and the spectacle is especially
striking at night, Mr. de Vis-Norton
said.

aparte. In addition, he travelled under
the incognito of "Herr Koch, a travel
ling merchant," and his attendants as
well as himself were heavily armed.
Nothing occurred until Bathurst ar
rived at Perlburg, on the road to Ham
burg, where the -party stopped at noon.
His secretary and his valet reported lc
ter that the young diplomat had been
absolutely fearless during the journej
and did not appear to be in the least
troubled by the dangers through which
he had passed unscathed. As Bathurst
sat at dinner in the Inn of the White
Swan, however, the maid who was serv
ing him saw him erlance nr aiiriHonlv
and, as she later phrased it, "turn white
an a ghost and shake as if he had been
stricken with palsy." Wheeling around
she caught a fleeting glimpse of a man's
back, moving rapidly away from the
window but that was all. Immediate
search of the, premises was made, with
out result. No suspicious characters
had been seen and no strangers had
been reported, save the usual noon-day
arrivals at the inn.
After finishing his dinner, Bathurst
informed his secretary that he would
alter his plans and remaih at the inn
overnight, pressing on toward Ham
burg in the morning. Then he went to
the commandant of the army post
nearby and, stating that he had reason
to believe that his life was in danger,
requested an armed guard around the
inn at night. Soldiers were according
ly detailed as an additional protection
and a cordon of them was thrown
about the in at sunset.
About two hours later Bathurst step
ped outside the door of the inn but not
outside the circle of armed guards to
make certain that his horses Were ready
to continue their journey on the follow
ing day. According to the accounts of
those present at the time, the English
man could not have gone more than
five steps without being visible to some
of the soldiery. But. despite all the
precautions he disappeared as com
pletely as if the earth had swallowed
him.
Some fifteen minutes later, alarmed
by his master's failure to return Bath
urst's valet started in search of him,
only to find that the young diplomat
had never even reached the stables be
hind the Inn nor did the most thorough
search of the surrounding country
bring any clue to light, until nearly
a month later, two peasants in search
of firewood came across a' pair of trous
ers such as Bathurst had worn, con
cealed in the forest some two miles dis
tant. The trousers were stained with
blood and, in one of the pockets, was
a half written letter to Mrs. Bathurst,
informing her that a certain Count
d'Etraigues. a French spy, had been
seen nearby and that Bathurst himself
feared that he might never return to
England alive.
Was d'Entraigues the man whom
Bathurst had seen through the window
of the Inn? The supposition appeals
to be likely, but, even granting that it
were, how did the Frenchman succeed
capturing Bathurst under the very eyes
of his own men and the armed' guards?
Also what disposition was made Of the
Englishman's body for the river was
dragged and the country searched for
miles around without locating another
cluei. However, in tearing down a
house near the inn nearly forty years
later, the skeleton of a man was found
buried under the floor, but this was
never identified and the disappearance

of Benjamin Bathurst remains on, of
the mysteries of the Napoleonic wars
particularly since the Count d'En
traigues Was hiuraered a snort time af
