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<

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. The m
ashes now began to fall upon us yc
