Looking anew at the clouds we saw a
sight difficult to comprehend. What had appeared as an unusual cloud formation
was now revealed as the peak of a gigantic mountain, a mountain of unbelievable
size, a white mountain - a pillar that seemed to support the dome of the sky!
We watched in wonder until nightfall. Then to the south of that mountain a dull
red glow lighted the underside of the mountain. It brightened as the night
darkened. That mountain seemed to be burning!
No one slept that night. Our two ships thrashed along in the
night wind, and the dreadful red beacon lighted our way.
