A good-sdzed crowd met them as they
disembarked Mt Cowes. Naturally there
was no cheering but the men present
took their hats off and the German en-
peror cordially and frequently re-
sponded by bowling. They drove to
Osborne House in open carriages. The
Prince of Wales appeared to be half
dazed and the Duke of York's eyes
were red, while the Duchess of Con
naught did not cease crying. There was
intense relief at Osborne House upon
the arrival OF the imperial and royal
party for several times during the
course of the morning it was feared
the queen would not live to hear Of
the Prince of Wales return. Nourish-
ment is being artiticially administered
to the queen. The palace is packed.
There is scarcely room for the en-
peror of Germany and his staff. With
the exception of the newspaper CORE
spondents, there are only few people
outside the gates. Inquiries from all
parts of the world continue to pure in.
