After which showed that he was still un- conscious, Vilak rolled to one of the narrow slits built in the wall to serve as windows and looked out. From the rows of adobe and straw huts which he could see stretching out below, he concluded that he was on a corner of the artificial mound he had noticed from the mountain. A stone path ran by his windows. On it ha could see no one. But at che bao of the mound, fifty or sixty feet below him, ran a broad highway, and this v as swarming with life. It was a life little different in es- sentials from that of which ho had been a part nt Porto Verde, he re- flected, as he saw oxen dragging creaking carts, nake children tor- menting howling dogs, and two women arguing passionately over a broken water-jar. Mo. t of the inhabitants were dress- ed in the same fashion as the wilder Indians near Porto Verde, the men ground. P it this way, helas, must it be.

For half of the lofty stone columns which had once stretch- ed in a double colonnade from one end of the great edifice to the other had entirely disappeared, while those \.hich remained were blackened with dirt or obscured with thick growths of vines; great holes were in the huge, crumbling walls and the gray thatch of the roof which showed signs of recent renewal. In one corner a whole section of the structure, walls, columns, and stone pavement, seemed to be gradu- ally sinking into the ground. Nor did there remain any of that profuse gold ornamentation which so characterized the Inca civili/ation and had so arous- ed the cupidity of the invading Span- iards.
