VETERINARY SURGEONS NEWLY GRADUATED 705 
which was really terrific. With all his baggage firmly lashed to 
him, he rolled down the steep slope until he came to the part 
which was perpendicular, and then he seemed to bound off, and 
turning round in the air, fell into the deep torrent on his back, and 
his luggage and him instantly disappeared. I thought, of course, 
he was killed ; but up he rose, looking wild and scared, and imme¬ 
diately endeavoured to stem the torrent, which was foaming about 
him. It was a noble effort, and for a moment he seemed to 
succeed; but the eddy suddenly caught the great load which was 
upon his back, and turned him completely over: down went his 
head with all the baggage, and as he was carried along down the 
stream all I saw was his hind quarters, and his long thin wet 
tail lashing the water. As suddenly, however, up his head came 
again ; but he was now weak, and went down the stream, turned 
round and round by the eddy, until, passing the corner of the 
rock, I lost sight of him. I saw, however, the peons, with their 
lassos in their hands, run down the side of the stream for some 
little distance ; but they soon stopped, and after looking towards 
the mule for a few seconds, their earnest attitude gradually relaxed ; 
and when they walked towards me I concluded that all was over. 
I walked up to the peons, and was just going to speak to them, 
when I saw at a distance a solitary mule coming towards us. 
We instantly perceived he was the phaeton whose fall we had 
just witnessed: he joined his comrades. He was, of course, 
dripping wet; his eye looked dull, his whole countenance de¬ 
jected; but none of his bones were broken; he was very little 
cut; and the bulletin of his health was altogether incredible.—
