( r ‘"ted Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) LONDON, A lay IG. Carol’s departure from Godstone was the occasion of a wild goose c-hasc in which the whole press of England was hoodwinked. A car piled with luggage suddenly dashed through the gateway, “That,” shouted the police, “Is the Prince.” Ten waiting cars including a Fremh detective representing the French Government and a number of agents of foreign Powers, English and foreign journalists dashed in pursuit. The cars tore along sixty miles hourly, the whole thing resembling a cinema stunt. The chase continued through London’s dense , traffic as far as Hyde Park 'corner when the lending car stepped, the blinds were run up and the car was found to contain a friend of Carol. In the meantime Carol with no attempt at secrecy, entered another car and sped towards Dover.

Carol expressing obvious annoyance, swiftly descended to his private cabin.
