Walking too near the edge

A young woman charged with the care of a child four years old, belonging to Mr. Pearson, merchant, at Whitby, walking too near the edge of the precipice, over the new half-moon battery at that place, the ground gave way, and she fell with the child in her arms from the height of near 100 feet perpendicular. The young woman was dashed to pieces, and her remains were conveyed from the spot a shocking spectacle; the child had its right arm broken; but providentially received little hurt besides, and is now in a way of recovery.
