Capt. Maurmoue, Aid-du-camp to General

tour with the General to the Land's End. Riding
near the cliff, his horse slipped, and unable to recover
himself, plunged over the precipice. By an extra-
ordinary exertion, the Captain threw himself off, at
the moment when the horse was falling, and, char
ing to the very verge of the cliff, providentially saved
himself. The horse, of course, was lusts he was
dashed almost to pieces.

Many bets were in consequence depending on it; and
it was generally supposed, from the extreme inequa-
lity of the ground, that he would not perform it.
