Show Take Your Choice of Morals. Escape of a student who fell down the Lutschine gore in the Alps but was caught on a rock and remained suspended for two days and nights, recalls to the London Chronicle another an-other Grundelwald escape of which Leslie Stephen tells. Returning from the chalet above the Eismeer, one of Stephen's guides, Michel, reached the edge of a cliff where a wooden rail guarded the path. Unfortunately the rail left off prematurely, and Michel had been drinking. So he stepped over and fell on ha-d rock nearly 100 feet below. He lay there all night, and next morning got up and walked home, sober and whole. Stephen submits sub-mits two morals for choice: "Don't get drunk when you have to walk along the edge of an Alpine cliff,'' and "Get drunk if you are likely to fall over an Alpine cliff." |
