AURONZO AND VAL BUONA. iS5 comparison in point of insecurity with Portici, Torre del Greco, or any others of thè Vesuvian villages. Now thè road, which has been very bad all thè way from Cadore, slopes gradually down towards thè bed of thè torrent, passing within sight of Lorenzago to thè right, and under thè impending precipices of Monte Cornon to thè left. Mountain and village has each its legend. Lorenzago, picturesquely perched on one of thè lower slopes of Monte Cridola, claims to be thè

scene of thè martyrdom of Saint Florian, a popular Tyrolean saint, whose intercession is supposed to be of especial efficacy in cases of fire ; while Monte Cornon is said to derive its name from an incident in thè history of Cadore thus related by Mr. Gilbert “ Along thè slopes above this gorge, in thè war of 1509, a division of Maximilian’s troops was cautiously advancing, when thè notes of a horn (corno) broke suddenly from thè misty mountain side. It was but a casual herdsman sounding

, as is stili thè custom there at certain seasons, to warn off bears ; but supposing themselves to be attacked by thè Cadore people, panie seized thè invaders, and they fled thè way they carne, over thè Santa Croce pass to Sexten.”— Cadore , p. g2. The same rustie horn, sounded for thè same purpose, may be heard here on quiet autumn evenings to this day, whal time thè bears come prowling down to rob orchards in thè valley ; and it is remarkable that there are more bears in thè district about Monte Cornon

off towards thè right—still, as yesterday, winding along thè great pine-slopes of Monte Frisolet, but following thè Eastward instead of thè Westward face of thè mountain. It was uphill nearly all thè way. Giuseppe, however, had provided two stout alpenstocks of his own cutting, and with this good help we pushed forward rapidly. The path lay half in shade and half in sunshine, com- manding now a peep into thè depths of thè valley below ; now a view of thè great “slide”* on thè opposite shoulder

of Monte Fernazza ; and now a back- ward glimpse of thè Civetta seen above a crowd of intervening hill-tops. Thus at thè end of a long pulì of rather less than an hour and a half, we found ourselves some 1,500 feet above thè level from which we had started, and dose upon thè Col di Santa Lucia—a curious saddle-backed hill like a lion couchant, keeping guard just at thè curve of thè Val Fiorentino. His neck is crested with a straggling line of Swiss-looking wooden houses, and his head is crowned

forests is shot into thè valley without thè labour and expense of transport. The slide of Monte Fernazza, however, is a mere forest-clearing about 40 feet in width and 800 or 900 in length, carried down thè face of an almost perpendicular hill-side.
