Thrilling Adventures ON the Path to
Freedom-Received by His Wife and
Placed ON Board . Steamship.
LONDON, August II, 1874.
The following interesting particulars of the
escape of Marshal Bazaine from his prison on
tho Isle of Ste. Marguerite have been re-
ceived:-
HOW he GOT AWAY.
The apartments occupied by Marshal Ba-
zaine opened upon terrace, which was built
upon lofty and precipitous cliff overhanging
the sea. A sentry was posted on the terrace,
with orders to watch the prisoners every
movement
During Sunday evening the Marshal walked
de-camp. At ten o'clock he retired as usual
apparently to sleep, but before daybreak he
had effected his escape.
AT DEAD OF NIGHT.
He must have crossed the terrace in the
dead of night, and, eluding the sentinel
reached the edge of the precipice Thence,
by means of knotted 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.
THE LOVE AND TOLL OF FAITHFUL WIFE
Under the cliff, in o hired boat, were
Bazaine's wife and cousin.
They received him as he reached the water,
and Madame La Marechale, taking the oars
herself, rowed directly to strange steamer,
which had been lying off the island since the
previous evening.
ON BOARD gTEAMsHIP AND AWAY TO SEA.
They reached the vessel in safety, were
taken on board, and the steamer then put to
Sea
It is thought that they have landed at
Genoa as the steamer proceeded in that
direction.
CITIZEN EXCITEMENT AND AN ARREST.
The first news of the affair came to Grasse
the nearest place on the coast, and the magis-
trates of the town Immediately sent officers in
every direction to search for the fugitives
There was great commotion in Marseilles
when the facts became known. An investiga-
ton was opened. Colonel Villette, who was
walking with the Marshal on the evening of
his escape, was discovered there and impris-
.oned.
The commandant of the fort of Ste. Mar
,guerite was placed under arrest and General
.Sewal has gone to the island to investigate
the affair.
