st. Marguerite on the night Of the 9th. The
details Of his escape are rs followst During
Sunday evening the Marshal walked upon
the terrace with Col. Villette, his aide-de-
camp. At ten o'clock he retired as usual,
apparently 10 sleep, but before daybreak
he had effected his escape. He must have
crossed the terrace In the dead Of night,
and, eluding the sentinel, gained the edge of
the precipice, whence by means Of lSnotted
rope, he descended TO the sea. He evidently
slipped during the descent and tore his
hands, as the rope was found stained with
blood in several places. Under the cliff, in a
hired boat, were Bazaines wife and
cousin. They received him as he reached
the water, and Madame la Marechal,
taking the oars herself, rowed directly
to strange steamer which had been lying
off the island since the previous evening.
They reached the vessel In safety, were taken
on board, and the steamer then put to sea.
II is thought that they landed at Genoa, as
the steamer proceeded in that direction.
