CAR’S CLIFF-PLUNGE. FOLKESTONE, Alay 30. Shortly after 11 o’clock to-night, AH Herbert George Saxby, of Harrow Road, Kensal Green, had a miraculous escape from death while driving alone in a motor-car belonging to his employer, Mr A. Aliller, of Claridge’s Hotel, London, AA*. He hud crossed the Channel from Boulogne with tlie car in the evening boat and set out for London. AVhen going up tho Road of Remembrance, which runs along tho top of the Leas cliffs, he was dazzled by the lights of an approaching car. Air Saxby swerved to the near side of tho road on which there is no pavement. The car knocked down 20 feet of concrete and iron fencing, and, with Air Saxby at the wheel, crashed for a distance of 70 feet down tho cliff, which altogether has a height of 85 feet. During its fall, about 40 feet down, tlie car passed over a footpath and carried away more fencing and also 5 feet of a gas lamp standard, causing the gas to escape. TREES UPROOTED. Its fall to the cliff bottom was stopped by a clump of trees. Several of these were uprooted. The car was considerably damaged, although most of the glass, being of an unsplinterable variety, was unbroken. The radiator was crumpled up like a concertina. Air Saxby managed to get out of the seat practically unhurt and elimp up part of the cliff to the footpath. AH Saxby said afterwards: “I do not know how, I got out of it. I consider that I have had a remarkable escape, particularly when I fell and it turned over completely three times.” AVhen he reached the footpath a number of people and the police offered help. Air Saxby, however, was neither hurt nor bruised, hut was rather badly shaken.

At daybreak an attempt is to he made to haul the car to the top of the cliffs.
