i94 A TOUR THROUGH
by these few hours of the Sirocc. Indeed,
I had exposed myself a good deal to the
open air, as I was determined to feel what
effect it would produce on the human body.
At first I thought it must have been impos-
sible to bear it; but I soon discovered my
mistake, and found, that where I was shel-
tered from the wind, I could walk about
without any great inconveniency; neither
did it produce that copious sweat I ex-
pected ; it occasioned indeed a violent per-
spiration, which was only attended with
a ssight moisture on the skin; but I sup-
pose, if I had put on my clothes, or taken
the least exercise, it soon would have
brought it on.
I own to you my curiosity with regard
to the Sirocc is now thoroughly satisfied;
nor do I at all wish for another visit of it
during our slay in Sicily. Many of our
acquaintance who had been promising us
this regalo, as they call it, came crowding
about
