to Kent House, in which the Duke
of Kent, father of the late Queen
Victoria, lived during his stay in
Quebec wrnle he was commander

as 4 hotel.
Montmorency Falls are 274 feet
high, which is over 100 feet higher
thin Niagara Falls. At the foot
of the falls is a pool which seem?
to have no bottom. This pool has
an undergound outlet to, the St. Law-
lence, which is only one half mile
away.
On either side of the top of the
falls are immense stone piers which,
a few years ago, supported a suspen
sion bridge 300 feet long, and simi
lar to that at Niagara. The bridge
had been completed only a few
weeks, when, one day without
warning, it collapsed and went over
the falls into the pool below. A
carriage with several persons were
on the bridge at the time, and from
that day to this nothing has been
seen of the bridge, the persons, the
carnage or the horses. All were
swallowed up in tha pool with the
underground outlet. A new bridge
has been built, but it sets on piers,
some forty rods up the stream.
A ride of nine miles brought us
back to Quebec, where we renewed
our acquaintance with our French
friends and made ready for our
homeward trip.
