A siul accident occurred at Billancourt (France) to a party of Cuirassiers, who were experimenting in the transport of men who cannot swim across a river where a bridge or raft is unattainable. For this purpose a pole, buoyed on sacks of cork, was used to tow across the water ropes from the other side, while six or seven soldiers held the pole as a lifebuoy. On the first experiment all went well. At the second attempt the pole broke. Four men were saved, but three others sank immediately, and when recovered life was quite extinct.
