Show Take Your Choice of Morals. Escape of a student who fell down the Lutschine gorge 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 had rock nfiarly 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." |
