A Perilous Adventure in south Africa.

A story has been brought by the last
mail from South Africa which may
claim modest page in the annals Of
mountaineering. The Cape Times mar
rates the exciting incidents of a search
for two men and their gallant rescue
from a position of extreme suffering and
peril. 1t became known on a certain
Tuesday at the end of June or begin
ming of July that Richard Richards and
Charles Derry, couple of tourists, had,
on the previous day, fallen into raYine
near the top of Table Mountain; accom-
panied by a third man named May,
these persons had made the ascent,
Derry being supposed to know the
mountain. 1t was about four O'Clock on
the Monday afternoon when they began
to descend, choosing, imprudently, a
course on the Camps Bay side, far from
the well-known and comparatively safe
road which is known as the Platteklip.
Derry, taking the lead, conducted his
friends down the gorge until he had
brought them to narrow ledge where
progress was stopped. In endeavoring
to return, one of the men slipped. It
appears that he tried to make room for
Derry to pass him, so as again to take
the leadership of the little party. The
slip caused all three men to lose their
footing, and they fell together sheer
depth of forty feet, after which they
rolled a considerable distance over
stones and among bushes, Richards
breaking his leg and getting wedged be-
tween two rocks. Derry fell or rolled ID
alower depth, and was severely cut and
bruised about the face and body. He
and May crawled up to the side of Rick
ards, and then May, who was the least
hurt of the three. managed, by mount
Ing on Derry's shoulders, to get hold
on the rugged face of the precipice, and
TO climb up and up till he emerged
from the ravine down which they had
fallen.
BY piece of good fortune, which
aNither he nor any inhabitant of the
