12 OCTOBER 1867, Page 2

The Empress of the French and the Prince Imperial have

been very nearly drowned. On Thursday week (3rd October), they had been cruising on the coast, but the sea being too high to land at Biarritz, they started in the yacht's boats for St. Jean de Luz. The pilot missed the entrance of the harbour, ran the boat among the rocks, fell over, and was drowned. The Empress and the Prince were carried through the surf and safely landed. -
