how the Kings party and another

the vessel was too far off for me
to read the reply signal. There
was no way of knowing whether it
was an enemy ship or one of ours"

trick" on one of the younger diplo-
mats in the party, sending him in a
caique to find out whose vessel it
was, knowing that if he were
captured he would have diplomatic
status"
When the caique returned, New

voice call out in Englash. At dawn

BY EDWARD KENNEDY,

ASSOClaLeQ fIeSS NdE
CAIRO, May 26.-Bareiy eyading
swarms of Nazi parachutists who
landed virtually in his backyard on
embattled Crete, King George II of
Greece found temporary haven to-
day in Egypt en- route to British
territory to re-establish his govern
ment in its third capital in less than
five weeks.
The harassed monarch, who told
In his own words upon arrival of
how narrowly he eluded the first
clouds of German sky troops last
Tuesday, proclaimed Immediately
that Greece was determined to
fight on.
He did not say where the govern
ment, which had been established
at Canea, Crete, since fleeing Athens
just ahead of Nazi panzer units
April %, would have its new seat.
diplomatic reports in Ankara,
Turkey, said King George would
fly to Jerusalem and set up the
government in that capital of
British inundated Palestine)
Threw Self Into bitches.
Several times in his hair-raising,
72-hour trip across Crete, the King
threw himself into bitches to escape
Nazi fire. Once or twice his party
was a target for bullets fired by
Greek patrols which apparently mis-
took them for parachutists in British
and Greek uniforms. He slept in a
cave with shepherds, sharing their
food; crossed a 7,000-foot mountain,
and finally reached the islands
south coast, on mule.
A British destroyer then carried
the royal party-which included
Premier War Minister Emmanuel
Tsouderos and other members of the
government, British Minister Sir
Michael Palairet and his wife, and
the British Legation staff-to Egypt.
Telling of the journey, King
George said:
"One of the main objectives for
the German parachute troops (on
the first day. was the area around
the house where the Premier and
! lived. In fact, the first flight
of parachutists landed within a few
hundred yards of my house and the
fight began ..
"As the main force of the enemy
separated us from our troops it
became imperative for us to with
draw in order to Illustrate their
plans.
Lost Touch With Government.
From Managya and later from
Therisson, where we stopped in
order to follow the course of battle,
it proved impossible for us to keep
in touch either with the remain
ing members of the government or
with the allied command. We later
discovered military and civil author
tiles had also tried without sue
cess to communicate with us. We
therefore pursued our journey to-
ward the mountains.
After careful examination of the
situation thus created, in concert
with our responsible advisers, we
became convinced our continued
presence in Crete would handicap
the conduct of military operations.
I'VE consequently decided with
profound regret to leave this heroic
island.
We leave Crete for the time being
to proceed to British territory where
we have been invited. 1t is the only
course which will enable us to carry
out the duties imposed upon us by
the interests of our nation"
Men sent back to King Georges
house, to get his baggage found
the house filled with Nazi soldiers.
