THE PRINCE'S GOOD BYE.
Tho following account of the departure of the King from Franc.- is sent by a special correspondent of the London "'Evening News" : For a few moments the King and the Prince stood talking on the deck. Then tliv Prince came on shore and stood on tho edge of the quay. Th 0 King remained standing on the promenade deck, under cover from the ra'n, near the afttr-cabin. The little group 0 f spectators respectfully withdrew some yards from the Prince, leaving h'm a solitary figure on the quayside.
For som.i moments the King and th: Prince stood in silent contemplation of each other in the fast failing light. It was a» impressive, affecting spectacle. The hawsers were east off. and slowly the vessel moved from her mooring. The Prnoe stood at tlio salute, motionless ; the King saluted in reply. Thevessel moved silently out into the gathering darkness. The Prinze stood on the quayside for the la.st glimpse of his father. Then, with a final salute, he turned and re-entered Ins motor car and returned to th? front.
