Lyndon, stepped off “The Devil's Pulpit,” while viewing Talullah Falls by moonlight and plunged one hundred feet to the jag- ged rocks below. Not a bone in his body was broken and his complete recovery is expected, of the falls by moon- visitors to the edge Young Lyndon The gorgeous view light attracted many | heard of the magnificent spectacle and re- solved to see it. It was after midnight when the full moon rose high enough in the heavens for the light to reach the surg- ing waters of the Talullah as they tumbie over the ledge and roar down Into the dark chasm below. Lyndon, who had been sit- ting up for this event. started out alone about midnight from the hotel. Reaching the vicinity of the falls he chose leading to ‘Devil's Pulpit,’’ which overhangs a chasm so deep that few can look down into it without a sensation of dizziness. He went too near the ledge and stepped off into the dark when he reached the “Pulpit.” Headiong into the black he plunged, turning over and over Seventy feet below the ledge a tree jutted Lyndon clutched his body crashed into its foliage. a bough, but the tree came up again he found himself diving headlong down, down toward the jagged rocks below. The fall into the tree had slackened the speed of his descent s0 he struck on the rocks with reduced momentum. He was stunned, of course, and lay as one dead when he landed at the bottom of the chasm A party viewing the falls from another heard a wild cry and a crash. but they did not dream the nolse came from one failing over the precipice.
