Herculaneum, past, present & future . rming banks (obstantia littora) which soon were raised above thelevel of the sea and effectually formed new shore-lines, as it were, facing him andpreventing all access to the original coast. It was not that the shallow water wassuddenly formed by the retreat of the sea or in any other way, but that he cameupon it suddenly. This material of small specific gravity so easily trans-ported by the torrents along the valleys and water-courses was in time spread bythe action of the wind waves, and still we read on the Admiralty Charts cinders, cinders out to thirty fathoms depth all along that coast. The plan of this partof the coast given by di Jorio gives a very good idea of the general appearance ofthe shore, and of the change produced by the immense volume of ash washed downthe ravines and forming a delta where there had been a harbour.

Some were for leaving the house, but the reason gien was not that theroof might be crushed in by the weight of ash upon it but that the whole housemight be thrown down by the rapidly recurring earthquake shocks ; and, whensome of them climbed on to higher ground inland to get a better view andascertain whether it w
