' The tumult resembled the continuous volleying of many thousandsof cannon, mingled with strange crashing and bursting uproars. I passed forward through a succession of halls, and was wondering as to my further course, when a hideous figure, bearing a lamp, stalked rapidly towards me. I shrank aghast. It seemed the skeleton of a tall man, wrapped in a winding-sheet. The glitter of a tiny eye, however, and a sere film of skin over part of the face, quickly reassured me.

He was, I afterwards learned, Aith ; and the singularity of his appearance was partially explained by his pretence — whether true or false — that he had once suffered burning, almost to the cinder-stage, but had miraculously recovered.
