The court physician attended the
man and. having stated that he had
fever, with symptoms Of some inex-

could not remain in the imperial train,

The train moved forward toward
Borki, travelling at the speed Of eighty
kilometers an hour. Then the elec-

imperial family were ready for lunch

sounded a terrific noise was heard.

twinkling Of an eye the luxurious i'm

all the more narrowing by the moan
