to the laten sss of the season, the all

mehts for her embarkation. '''
/ Meanwhile. the Empress was a. prey
to the keenest anxiety about the Prince
Imperial, who had left the country some
lew days before. His destination was
known, but whether he had reached that
destination was as yet secret. In point
of fact, on the Monday evening, while
|, NJ. &c. Lesseps vas engaged in, the
search for vessel at Deanville, the
Prince was alighting from an omnibus
at the door. Of tho. Hotel de la Couropne
at Mons,r whence the gentlemen who
accompanied him at once communicated
by telegraph, through tho iutermedi-
ary Of a trusted friend at Paris, with NJ.
Lesseps and the Empress. The result
was that the son was directed to pro-
ceed at once to Hastings, where he arr.
rived via Osteud and Dover on the
following Tuesday, Owing to- some
misunderstanding, however, in the
arrangements, the Empress had no
communication with her son after Mon.
day evening until the moment of her
subsequent meeting with him in Eug-
land. :
This uncertainty as to his movements
contributed greatly TO her anxiety to
accelerate her departure, but notwith
standing the many pressing reasons for
speed, there were others equally press
ing for delay. The main difficulty was
to find ship, the crew Of which might
safely be trusted to preserve the secret
of the imperial incogpita, for it was
almost hopeless to expect that the fact
Of, there being such secret could
be effectually preserved from all on
board. III
Fatigued with search which threa.
tened to become altogether hopelessss,
NJ. de Lesseps, on the evening of Mon
day, entered q small ioHal yachting club
at Deanyills to look over the papers be,
fore presenting himself at the hotel
where the imperial fugitive was hiding
when no was greeted by a gentleman
whom he at once recognized. 1t was
Sir John Montagu Burgoyne, young
Crimean hero, who had enjoyed the
friendship Of NJ de Lesseps for many
years. -"
Sir John at once, according to his
own statement, OWNED that something
uusual was in the wind from the pre-
sepce Of NJ, dc Lcsseps at such season

accounted for'by the fact that no was
awaiting the arrival Of Lady Burgoyno
from Switzerland, and bis yacht as he

M..de Lesseps knew, his. man and
knew that hahkhess was the .surest way
to gain the object wbioh presented itself
with lightning quicknessto his mind.
Sir John had barely finished Informing
him Of these, particulars when; laying
his hand upon the Engllshman's arm,
the great engineer said: 81
