Baron James de Rothschild, son of Edmund de Rothschild, had a narrow escape on a high sea Saturday.
While attempting to board the “Olympic” from a launch at high sea at Cherbourg, the ladder snapped while Rothschild was ascending it, and he fell into the sea. He was however immediately rescued. Further attempts to board the “Olympic” having failed, Baron de Rothschild returned to Cherbourg.
