Troops Act as Escort.
Frederick's body was conveyed from
the Hamburg Hof hotel to the railway
station with full military honors. A
company of the Seventh Imperial Ger
man infantry had been provided for
an escort and the soldiers were accom-
panied by the regimental band. The
troops carried cased colors Of the
regiment in honor of the dead The
streets were lined with solid masses
of humanity. Many stood with bowed
heads as the cortege passed.
Flags upon all the buildings in the
city were at half-mast.
The kings body had been inclosed
in coffin of steel and oak, in keeping
with the simplicity of his life.
King Frederick VIII. accompanied
by Queen Louise and their aides and
attendants, was on his way to the r.
veria, where physicians had advised
him to go to recuperate from the er-
fects of severe attack OF influenza
and incipient pneumonia. of which he
was recently the victim.
A long motor ride through the damp
air Is believed to have brought on re-
lapse, and his insistence on walking
through the streets in the chill night
air. despite the entreaties of his at
tendants, is thought to have aggra
waited his condition.
Queen Louise Hysterical.
When Queen Louise was Informed
that the body of a man OF rank, richly
dressed. had been found near the wa
ter front she became hysterical and,
with strange premonition OF evil, de-
clared that 1t was the king. No de-
scription OF the body had been given
and members of the suite ridiculed the
idea that the body found almost at the
entrance of the docks was that OF
their sovereign.
The body had been carried to pub
lie hospital ward, and after life was
declared extinct search revealed doc
uments identifying 1t as that OF Count
Kronberg. This, although the local
authorities did not know it, was one OF
the kings titles and was adopted by
him as an incognito.
The instant that the queer, entered
the barely furnished ward she recog-
nized the corpse as that OF her hus-
band. and in paroxysm OF grief
threw herself across the cot on which
the body lay.
Physicians fastened to her side and
she was led, sobbing. from the room.
Restoratives were applied and when
she became more calm she ordered
that the body be removed to the Ham,
burg Hof hotel with all possible dis
patch.
