## Summary

This fragment follows upon the description of the ‘Mountain Heights of the Exile World’—from their eternally red crags down to their lowest bogs and ‘sulphur mines.’[1] I beg the reader not to forget that in this chapter we are plunging with him below the level of the sea and are concerned exclusively with its slimy bottom, as it was after the tempest of February.
