In May of the same year he and his wife left London on the sailing vessel Santa Margarita. The ship was j n last sighted on 13th July oft Monte Video. There is no doubt that the Archduke Salvator was on that vessel, and the Austrian authorities were convinced that he lost his life in the shipwreck or on the Pacific islands if he ever reached the shore.

yeare, his two children, Anna Jlargic and Leopold, being bom in 1397 and 1898. The family were in Martinique in the calamitous year of 1902, and the wife and children perished in the ruins of St. I'ierre.
