IN THE FIRST ERUP DES The Only Authentic Accoum the Great Roman Aut Oil the iMth of August, about one ii le afternoon, my mother desired bin > observe a cloud which appeared c very unusual sizeand shape. He hai ist returned from enjoying the beni t of the ?uu, and alter bathing ii >ld water and taking a slight repast as retired to his study: be immedi iely arose aud went out upon au em lence, from whence he might mori istinctly view this very singular phe otnenon. It was not at that distanc iscernable from what mountain thl oud issued, but it was Vesuvius. ! inuot give you a more exact descrip un of iis figure than by resembling i i that of a pine-tree: lor it shot up i eat height in tbe form of a tal uuk, which spread at the top into i rt of branches: occasioned, I suppose ther that the force of the internal va )r which impelled the cloud up ards, decreased in strength as it ad inced, or that the cloud, being presset ick by its own weight, expanded it If in the manner I have mentioned appeared sometimes bright.' anc nietimes dark and spotted, as it wai ther more or less impregnated Witt *rth and cinders. This uncommon appearance excltec y uncle's philosophical curiosity t< Ke a nearer view of it. He accord igiy ordered a light vessel to be pre itred, and ottered me the liberty, if J lought proper to attend him. J ither chose to continue the employ lent in which I was engaged: for ii ipjjened that he had given meacertaii ritlng to copy. As he was going oui the uouse with his tablets in hit iDd he was met by the mariners beuging to the gallies stationed at Re na, from which they had fled in tbt nrmut tflrrnr! for that nort beinir sit' ited at ibe toot of Vesuvius, they had j other way to escape than by sea bey coojured him, therefore, not U .oceed and expose his life to emmi uut and inevitable danger. Iq comiance with their advice he changed is original intention, and, instead oi atitiug his philosophical spirit, he isigneu it to the more maguauimoui inciple of aiding the distressed. With this view ne ordered the fleel ^mediately to put to sea, and wen I iniself on board with an intention ol sisting not only Retina, but the veral other towns wmch stood thici Don that beautiful coast. Hastening the place, therefore, irooi whenct hers tied with the utmost terror, ht eered his direct course to the point oi mger, and with so much calmnest id preseuue of mind as to be able to uke and dictate his observations upou ;e appearance and progress of thai eadfui scene. He was now so neai ,e mountain that the cinders, whicb ew thicker and hotter the more he ivaucea, leu iuiu me suipo, lugoiuci ith pumice-stones and bJacK pieces oJ irniugrock: they were likewise in mger, not ouiy of being aground b,y e retreat of the sea, but also from the ist fragments which rolled down ?m tbe mountains and obstructed all e shore. Here he slopped to conler whether he should return back; which the pilot advised him, "Forne," said he, "befriends the brave; jer for Poinponianus," Pomponianue as then at Ktabiae, separated by a ill' which the sea, after several insenjJe windings, forms upon that shore, jmpanianus had already sent hie .ggage on board, for though he was >i at that time in actual danger, yet, ling within the view of it, and in:ed extremely near, he was deterined, if it should in the least inease, to put to sea as soon as the ind should change. It was favorable, >wever, for carrying my uncle to )mponianus, whom he fouud in tbe eatest consternation, and embraoing m to k^en un his sDiriis. The more dissipate nis tears, he ordered bis rvants, with an air of unconcern, to rry bim to the baths; and after havg ba'hed be sat down to supper with eat, or at least (what is equally beicj witb all tbe appearance of cheerIn ess. In tbe meanwhile tbe fire from Veivius flamed forth from several parts the mountain with great violence hich tbe darkness of the night confuted to render still more visible and eadlul. But my nncle, in order to ,1m the apprehensions of his friend, sured him it was only the conflagra>uofthe villiages, which the couny people bad abandoned. After this i retired to rest, and it is most certain s was so little discomposed as to fall to a deep sleep: for, being corpulent id breathing hard, the attendants in e anti-chambers actually heard bim ore. The court which led to bis >artment, being now almost filled ith ashes it would have been impoBble for him, if he had continued ere auy longer, to have made his ny out; it was thought proper, therere' to awaken him. He got up, and iued Pomponianus, and the rest of e company, who bad not been suffiently unconcerned to tbink of going bed. They consulted together hetber it would be most prudent to uat to tne nouses, wnicn uow shook om side to side with frequent and oient concussions, or flee to the open ilds, where the calcined stoDes and nders, though levigated indeed, yet 11 in in large showers, and threatenI them with instant destruction. In lis distress they resolved for the ilds, as the less dangerous situation the two; a resolution, which, while le rest of the company were hurried to by their fears, my uncle embraced pon cool and deliberate consideration, hey went out, then, having pillowe ed upon their heads with napkins; id this was their whole defense alinst the storm of stones that fell ound them. It was now day everyhere else, but there a deeper dark;ss prevailed than in the blackest ght; which however, was in some ;gree dissipated by torches and othei jhts of various kinds, They thought expedient to go farther upon the mre, in order to observe if they mighl fely put to sea; but they found tht aves still running extremely higfc 3d boisterous. There my uncle havig drunk a draught or two of cold wa r, laid himseif down upon asailclotti hich was spread for him, when im edialely the flames, preceded by i roug smell of sulphur, dispersed th< ;st of tbe company, ana obiigeu ma * rise. He raised himself up with th< distance of two of his servants, am istantly fell down dead; suffocated, ] jnjecture, by some gross and noxioui ipor, as having always had weat inga and being fretjneutly subject t( dittlculty of breathing. As soon as i as light agaiu, which was not till tbi jird day after this melancholy acci ent, his body was found entire, am ithout any marks of violence, exact i in the same posture in which hi ill, and looked more like a mat aleep than dead. During all thi * time my mother anil I were at Mise-' 1 num. if d My uncle having left us, I continued *1 the employment which prevented my 3 going with him, till it was time to ? bathe; after which I went to supper *|and then fell into a short and unquiet * sleep. There had been, during many 0 days before, soue shocks of an earth* quake, which the less alarmed us as e they are frequent in Campania, but 8 they were so particularly violent that 1 night that they not only shook every* thing about us, but seemed indeed to t threaten total destruction. My moth* er flew to my chamber, where she 1 found me' risiug in order to awaken 1 her. We went out into a small court ? belonging to the house, which sepa' rated the sea from the buildings. As * I was at that time but 18 years of age, - I know not whether I should call my 1 behavior in this perilous conjuncture * courage or rashness. But I took up : Livy and amused myself with turning 1 over that author, and even making s extracts from him, as if I had been per1 fectly at my ease. While we were in this situation a ' friend of my uncle's, who was just ? > come from Spain to pay him a visit * joined us, and observing me sitting bv tb - mv mother with a book in mv hand. nY M reproved her patience and my securi- Ca U ty; nevertheless, I still went on with tb my author, It was now morning, but bs t the light was exceedingly faint and 0t 1 languid: the buildings all around us bi t tottered, and though we stood upon Hi 1 open ground, yet as the place was nar- vt ' row and confined, there was no re hi ' maining without imminent danger: p{ 5 we therefore resolved to leave the nt town. The people followed us in the dt L utmost consternation, and (as to a to i mind distracted with terror, every sug- w > gestion seems more prudent than its iD " own) pressed in great crowds about us er ' in our way out. Being advanced at a m I convenient distance from the houses, ]e f we stood still, in the midst of * most w > hazardous and tremendous scene. The f0 i chariots which we had ordered to be flj drawn out were bo agitated backward ta 1 aud forward upon the level ground a( L that we could not keep them steady, m ( even by supporting them with large 8h 5 stones. w : The sea seemed to roll back upon ifc- to > self and to be driven from its banks by be ; the convulsive motion of the earth; it h< ' aaviI nl*i n t lrtnnf Vm\ nKrvWA vnan A/\n . t IB ociiaiu, at Jcani, iuo duuio nno uuu* siderably enlarged, and several sea- nr animals were left npon It. On the n( other side a black aud dreadful cloud m burstiug with an Igneous serpentine tb vapor darted out a long train of fire, 88l resembling flashes of lightning, but Wi much larger. Upon this our Spanish f ] friend, whom I mentioned above, ad- <jj dressing himself to my mother and sn me with great warmth and earnest- 8U ness, "If your brother and your un- an cle," said he, "is safe, he certainly e< wishes you may be so too: but if he ou perished it was bis desire no doubt 9n that you might both survive him: why, wj therefore, do you delay your escape a w moment?" We could never think of fr( our own safety, we replied, while we aD were uncertain of hi?: upon which our he friend left us and withdrew from the m danger with the utmost precipitation. ea Soou afterward the cloud seemed to de- Be scend and cover the whole ocean, as ac indeed it entirely hid the Island of Ca- fy prea and the promonotory of Mise- 0f num. frj My mother conjured me to make my escape at any rate, which, as I was young, I might easily effect; as for herself she said her age and corpulency T< rendered all attempts of that sort impossible ; however, she would willing- q( ly meet death if she could have the satisfaction of seeing that she was not the sei occasion of mine. But I absolutly refused to leave her, aud taking her by wj the hand 1 led her on. She complied |0 with great reluctance, and not without reproaches to herself for being the fn occasion of retardibg my flight.
