The time of eruption is often longer than that of repose.

After an eruption the water always sinks a few feet into the cave, and for 15 or 20 seconds admits of a glance into this wonderful grotto.

But it rises again immediately, fills the grotto and the basin, which is only a continuation of the grotto, and springs again.
I watched this miraculous play of nature for more than an hour, and could not tear myself from it.

This spring, which is certainly the only one of its kind, gratified me much more than the little Geyser.
There is another spring called the roaring Geyser; but it is nothing more than a misshapen hole, in which one hears the water boil, but cannot see it.

The noise is, also, not at all considerable.
July 3d.
Near Reikum we crossed a brook into which all the hot springs flow, and which has a pretty fall.
