palace Queen Mary herself entered | waiting car and was whisked through the throngs on her way to Bognor. She was to take . short cut and beat Craigwell house l. time to greet her husband when he should arrive.
 Blinds of Car Opc0
 The open blinds of the ambulance afforded the waiting crowds . good view of the king as he rode out the palace gates and in front of Is grounds down to tho main road. He could be seen lying propped up on q narrow bed close to the side of the ambulance. pale wan figure. The ravages which his long struggle had wrought on his person were noticed and were not lost on the crowd.
 His majesty was seen to, smile as the people cheered. then to aise his hand and wave slightly. The gesture l was faint one and the very weak ness of the action brought renewed cheers of sympathy from the crowd. By the kings side could be seen nurse. sitting comfortably. By his chauffeur sat Hewlett. his valet. car with the two physicians. Lord Behind the ambulance was another Dawson of Penn. and Sir Stanley Hewitt. Other cabs with nurses and attendants followed, among these ! being one containing four St. Johns | hospital ambulance men who ha ] carried the king from his bedroom to the waiting motor.
 Sons Bid Him Adicu Three of his sons. the Duke of York, the Duke of Gloucester and Prince George. bade their father goodbye at the palace before he started on his journey. When the queen passed through the gates a few minutes after her husband she was smiling happily as she bowed to the repeated cheers of the crowd. Ideal weather prevailed for the | trip which was over a route of about 70 miles and was expected to take about three hours. Moderate winter temperatures prevailed and though the London skies were clouded as is usual at this period the ambulance was not long in working its way out of the grime and fog of the metropolis to the freshcr air and brighter skies of Sur rey Mills and Sussex Downs. Crowds lined the streets through which the ambulance passed clear out through the suburbs. His majes- ty answered cheers with smiles which brought renewed cheering. Every village along the countryside contained it's crowd of watchers waiting to cheer the monarch's pas sage.
 Rich and Poor in Crowd l Almost every class of the kings subjects. rich and poor alike, was represented in the crowd. Some had driven up in luxurious cars; others had come afoot. Some even had made long trips from the country to witness the start of the trip so inn portant to their ruler. One little grayhaired woman said she travelled c50 miles to sec the beginning of the journey.
 Ruler though he is. the king prob ably never before made trip 1T such g. luxurious car. The ambulance as it rolled slowly out the palace gates was the last word in equip ment. Everything which could be de. vised in the way of modern contri vances to minister to a sick mans comfort was at hand.
 The pleasant little town on the Sussex coast, situated 70 miles from London, to which the king proceed ed today in search of more invig- I orating air than is to be found in l the Thames valley hitherto has not been regarded as a health resort The kings doctors. however. de- cided the Bognor air had excep- tional tonic qualities.
