The alusiou made in Hermann Damme's
letter to their project Of 80 drowning them
selves that their bodiey nigh, not be found,
led the friends of this unfortunate pair, for a
few DAYS, to hope that thev nigh, have really
left the country forever. and that the story Of
their suicide might have been but q blind to
separate them from their cruel and troubled
past in Switzerland. The reader of Lord
Byron's letters will remember a somewhat
similar incident recorded bv him in connection
with this same beautiful Lake Of Geneva.
But shortly after the publication of the leS
