LONDON. August 18th, 1875

The Royal yacht Alberta, with Queen
Victoria on board, collided at six o'clock
this evening while crossing from Osborne
to Gosport with the yacht Mistletoe, be-
longing to ]. S. Haywood of Manchester
who, with party Of friends were on a
pleasure cruise. The sailors on the Mis-
tletoe we're in the act of dipping their
flag in honor of the Queen, when cry
was raised that the Royal yacht was run
ming down the Mistletoe.
Great excitement ensued and efforts
were made to avoid collision but il. was
too late. The MistletOe was struck on
the starboard side abreast of the main
mast The Alberta rode completely over
her losing her own boUsprit and cut
water. 1t is impossible to describe the
scene on board the vessels. The Queen
witnessed the collision from the deck Of
the Alberta. She was deeply agitated
wringing her hands and in dreadful sus'
pense. Every effort is said to have been
made to save the party on the Mistletoe
which was rapidly sinking. Several o.
the rescued were severely injured. The
damage to the Mistletoe was 30 seriou'
that She sank in few minutes, carving
with her a lady and the mate, 1T being
impossible tn render further aid.
The Alberta proceeded on her way t
Gosport, but had scarcely reached Clar
ence yard when Stokes, the Master Of thu
Mistletoe died. Haywood, who was seri
ousls injured was carried to the house o
the Admiral at Portsmouth.
