On September 24th 1899, Darjeeling was devastated by a deluge of landslides in pouring rain, which wiped out many habitations. One such incident took place in a church school with little children as boarders, which was washed away killing almost all the children. This book is about the aftermath for a family who lost their children to this disaster. This is the tale about a heroic mother, Ada Lee, with a small child who made the trip from Calcutta the next day of the landslides, when darjeeling was totally cut off and there were no roads. This book was published in 1912.

| The Lee Family before the disaster |
Thank you for this information. I'm an ex-student and teacher of Mt. Hermon School. Would like to have more information of our first school and the Lee family.
