was not prolonged for feat of tir
ing the patient.
At about the same time it was
said at Buckingham Palace that
there was a slight change for the
better in the condition of the king.
The prince, in the hour that
he spent at the palace, saw also
his mother, his sister and his
brother, the Duke of York. Upon
leaving the palace the prince went

stricken father. He arrived at
Buckingham Palace at 10: 35, p.
m.. where King George for three
weeks has been fighting pleurisy
and lung Infection which had
caused anxiety throughout his
empire.
Aided by the resources of three
nations In his final dash across
Europe, the heir to the throne was
met on his landing on English soil
at Folkestone by Prime Minister
Stanley Baldwin. Again he re
ceived the latest word from his
father when his younger brother
the Duke of York met him at Vic
toria station.
The brothers rode together to
the palace, the duke recounting
the progress of the illness as he
had seen It In constant attendance
at the palace as the only son of
te king then In England. ,
Vast Crowd Cheers
A mighty throng of all classes
such as has gathered dally outside
the palace to await medical bul
letins on the king had waited for
more than one hour behind strong
police lines at the railroad station
for a glimpse of the young man
who may soon be called upon to
lead England. Some of the men
and women In the close-pressed
ranks wore fashionable furs and
others shivered in shabby suits.
All burst into spontaneous cheer.
despite the gravity of the situa
tion, when the prince appeared.
He looked well after his hunt
ing trip in East Africa but his
face showed the strain of his anx
iety and the marks of his forced
Journey by land and sea for nine
days and nights.
At the palace the prince met
the physicians who have been
caring for his majesty.

to the massage which the duke

face of the duke. He alone of the
four sons had been nresent to aid
and comfort his mother and the
roval household dnrine the time
of this great and continuing trial.
The throne at the station was
dismayed for a moment by the
dash of the nrlnces for the pal
ace. They wondered whether the
critical condition of the king made
this lmneratlve rather than a first
visit to the Prince of Wales' own
houe.
At the nalace. the orince was
shown into the apartments of tne
queen wheTe her majesty awattea
him. Then the anxious and burd
ened mother and her eldest 6on
were alone together to give re
ciprocal comfort under the still
menacing shadow of the Illness.
Sunburned Skin Noted
Traces of sunburn were observ
ed on the cheeks of the prince
as he descended from the special
train which bad ruabed mm nere
from Folkestone and this recalled
that only a few days ago he had
been In the open wilds 500 miles
below the equator. He wore a dark
overcoat and a light grey bowler
hat which he had obtained en
ronta to renlace the scanty trop
ica t hunting costume In which he
started his homeward dash.
The shniita o'f ereetlnr which
welcomed the royal heir at the
station quickly subsided In rec

which brought him home. Thou
