Excerpt from Ubaldo and Irene, Vol. 1: A Historical Romance; From the Italian of Antonio Bresciani, S. J IN that portion of the Italian Tyrol known as the Val Lagarina, stretching out before the little hamlet of the Ma'rani, is the valley of San Valen tino, which rises wild and savage up the steep and wooded slopes to the summit of the great Alps, whose descent on the further side is covered with rich pasture lands, with dense forests, interspersed with fertile valleys, till it reaches the smiling val ley of Vicentino, so thickly planted with apple trees. At the outlet of this valley runs the royal road, which borders on the river Adige and leads into Germany; but at the point where it crosses the stream a little path diverges, turning to the right, and, extending over a gravelly soil, ends at the rugged side of the Fusi. At this point the bed of the river, filled as it is with shrubs, broom, lentisks, and junipers, is enclosed between two high rocks, and offers no other passage than a narrow and rugged margin, winding from jut to jut, and opening an abyss before the terrified eye.
