ABBEY AND HILLS, FROM NEAR MUSSOOREE—p.24.
Some idea of the precipitousness of the Landour and Mussooree ridges may be conceived from the following fact, witnessed by Lieut. G. F. White. A gentleman riding in the upper Landour road, was, by the sudden starting of his mule, precipitated, along with the animal, over the side of the hill: the traveller happening to lodge in a tree, fortunately escaped with little injury; but the poor mule, after a few tremendous bounds, was lost sight of, and subsequently found, much mangled, more than a mile distant from the spot where the accident occurred.
