On getting out of the wood, I found that we were proceeding up a steep zigzag path, along which two people could not make their way abreast. At last we reached a narrow terrace, with a few trees growing on it.  We made our way between them till Samson entered a cavern, the mouth of which would admit only a horse, or, at the utmost, a couple of persons at a time.  I followed; and having gone through this narrow archway, Samson told me to stop.  He then, using his flint and steel, lighted a torch, and by the flame I discovered that we were in a large vaulted chamber.  On one side there were some rude stalls, and litter for horses; on the other, a couple of rough bunks, and a table and some stools, showed that it was used as a human habitation.
