A little girl and a boy who f?ll over a cliff 100 feet high ■at Porthkerry, South Wales, had a remarkable escape from death. Their mother, Mrs Thomas, was an eye-witness of the occurrence. Unknown to the mother, they wandered to the very edge of the cliff, and sat on some railings placed there to prevent passers-by falling over. Suddenly the little girl overbalanced, and in the. attempt to save herself she clutched hold of her brother, with the result that both were hurled to the rocks 100 feet below. The mother, terror stricken, rushed to the spot, and she herself narrowly escaped falling over, being saved by a passer-by. On descending the cliff a rescue paTty found that both children, despite their terrible fall, were alive. Indeed, the boy, who, it was presumed, had fallen oh top of his sister, was practically uninjured, and able to walk home. The girl received injuries to the head ahd legs, but'was expected to completely recover. SOOTHES AND CUBES. Cuts, bruises, burns and sores are immediately soothed and quickly cured with Bee Ointment.
