Alps, near Zermatt, fell a distance of
l.'Joo feet, not much less than a quar

was killed on the spot, iter daughter
escaped with a few bruises Mr.
Whymper. the famous mountaineer,
had a similar).' miraculous deliverance
from what seemed to lie certain death

his footing, he fell from rock to ris k
to the bottom of a precipitous gully,
loti yards in depth, only to recover his
