Austria-Hungary . overwhelmed the Hungarians that thenation was ground beneath the heel of the conquerorfor generations. This was in 1526, and out of30, 000 Hungarians only 6000, it is said, were leftalive. Shortly after we come to the Francis Canal, connecting the Danube with the Tisza, Hungaryssecond river. It was opened m 1802 but becamechoked and useless. By the energy of ZiirrStephen, who enlarged it and cut two new canalsconnected with it, it was once more turned intoa useful waterway. When joined by the Drave, the river gains in size and importance, but it isnot until we pass into the spurs of the Carpathiansthat the scenery once again grows grander, and afterseven or eight miles we find a steam ferry where awhole train is carried bodily across the Danube.Ruined forts and towering crags now spring uponce more, and on a lump or rock 200 feet high isthe fortress of Peterwardein, with the little townat the foot; this was called after Peter the Hermit, whose birthplace it is supposed to be.

With the junction of the Save on the right bankthe Danube forms the southern boundary of Hun-gary itself, separating it from Servia, whose capital, Belgrade, is just at this corner, which appears amost dangerous situation for a capital. After thisthe navigation gets more difficult, and many
