. A trip through Italy, Sicily, Tunisia, Algeria and southern France. ] ALGERIA dreary and desert-like in appearance, with snow-capped mountains in the distance. This pictureis, in fact, typical of the general scenery. Fromhere onwards, a great change takes place. Hav-ing made the necessary repairs to our car, we im-mediately set off. The scenery became now ex-tremely fine, and suddenly we saw before us a vastdrop in the face of the plain, with a winding roadleading us downward into a huge valley below.A superb view of the surrounding country is ob-tained from this point, and in the far distancethe railroad may be seen skirting close to theside of the mountain, continually bridging overchasms or tunneling through the rock.
