THE LATE ACCIDENT TO PRINCE ALBERT
ON TUE ICE AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE.—WIICH Prince Al-
beit broke through the ice on the lake in the gardens of
Buck'ng,ham Palace, one day last week, his Royal High-
ness's situation was far more perilous than the public were
F:d to imagine ; and, had not her Majesty and the Hon.
Miss Murray been fortunately close to the spot at the time,
there is very little doubt that the result would have proved
fatal to the Prince. The water where the ice broke was
upwards of seven feet in depth, although close to the
shore, and the sides of the bank afforded him no footing to
enable him to extricate himself without assistance. The
Prince was in the water for upwards of three minutes, and
went twice under before he could grasp the hand of her '
Majesty. TLe Hon. Mr. Murray, the Master of the
Household, who was skating at a distant part of the gar-
dens hearing the screams of a female (which were those
cf Miss Murray) hastened to the spot from whence they
proceeded, where he arrived just as the Prince had been
dragged on dry gfouvd by the Queen. It vas supposed
by the duriiig the time his Royal Higlines
was immersed, he taust have swallowed upwards of a pita
of water.
