The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne: "Well, those are only sulphureous flames and vapours, which one must
expect to see in an eruption. They are quite natural."
"But suppose they should wrap us round."
"But they won't wrap us round."
"But we shall be stifled."
"We shall, not be stifled at all. The gallery is widening, and if it
becomes necessary, we shall abandon the raft, and creep into a
crevice."
"But the water - the rising water?"
"There is no more water, Axel; only a lava paste, which is bearing us
up on its surface to the top of the crater."
