NICE, April PA great sensation has
been caused all along the river by the
mysterious disappearance Of the pleasure
yacht Reina Victoria.
The vessel had on board M. and Nine.
d'Esmenard, the sister Of the latter, Mile.
Marguerite Gourio de Refuge. and two
sailors, Lafont and Bertin.
The d'Esmenards were married only a
month ago and were on their wedding tour.
They we're residents at Cannes and made
frequent excursions on Relna Victoria.
On April 10 the party embarked on the
yacht for Nice. Nine. d'Esmenard carried
all her jewels and her husband had with
him several thousand francs. Since their
sailing nothing has been heard Of them.
They should have reached Nice the same
day. AS the weather was magnificent, no
reason can be assigned for the disappear
ance Of the vessel.
All kinds of extraordinary stories of
murder and piracy are current. but there
is nothing to justify them beyond the fact
that NJ. and Nine. d'Esmenard carried
10000 or 10000 francs in money and Jewels.
A search is being carried out by the po-
lice and the maritime authorities all along
the coast.
