Of the forest. She would not always fol-

tours and cut-offs. and II was while doing
this she met with the experience men
toned in the beginning Of this article.
The night was stormy one, in the
midst Of a prolonged wet spell. when the
creeks and rivers were all converted into
torrents. The night was inky black. and
some Of the Yosemite people who relate
this story say Miss Hutchings lost her
way and wandered at random through the
woods. But this is not credited by those
who know her hest. for they do not be-

enough to make her lose the way through
the forest, and they assert she was merely
taking a short trail.
In any event, she found herself riding
along the precipitous bank of one OF the
forks of the Merced River, and before she
realized that she was in any danger she
felt her horse losing his footing and slip
ping and sliding downward. Instantly she
threw herself from the saddle, and she
and the horse together pitched and rolled
down, as if to certain death. 1t seemed
