I do not quite know how it happened, my recollection of the whole
matter ebbing in a somewhat clouded condition. I fancy I had gone
somewhere on a botanizing expedition, but whether at home or abroad
I don't know. At all events, I remember that I had taken up the
study of plants with a good deal of enthusiasm, and that while
hunting for some variety in the mountains I sat down to rest on the
edge of a ravine. Perhaps it was on the ledge of an overhanging
rock; anyhow, if I remember rightly, the ground gave way all about
me, precipitating me below. The fall was a very considerable
one-probably thirty or forty feet, or more, and I was rendered
unconscious. How long I lay there under the heap of earth and
stones carried down in my fall it is impossible to say: perhaps a
long time; but at last I came to myself and struggled up from the
debris, like a mole coming to the surface of the earth to feel the
genial sunshine on his dim eyeballs. I found myself standing (oddly
enough, on all fours) in an immense pit created by the overthrow of
a gigantic dead tree with a girth of about thirty or forty feet.
The tree itself had rolled down to the bottom of the ravine; but
the pit in which it had left the huge stumps of severed roots was,
I found, situated in a gentle slope at the top of the bank
