The bonfire was by this time beginning to sink low, for the fuel had not been of that substantial sort which can support a blaze long. Most of the other fires within the wide horizon were also dwindling. Attentive observation of their brightness, color, and duration would have revealed the quality of the material burnt, and of this latter, to some extent the natural produce of the district in which each bonfire was situated.
