INEXPRESSIBLY SAD. jj A FEELING OF STUNNED: BEWILDERMENT. | HER MAJESTY'S WISH. | (Received January 24,9.5 a.m.) | LONDON, January 23. | The people's breathless fear grew| tense and more poignant as each! bulletin was published. f The Prince of Wales' telegram tog the Lord Mayor was the first inti-1 'ination to the public of the death| ■of the Queen, and it ended the sus-j ■pense at seven o'clock on Tuesday! evening. R j The general feeling was one ofj 'stunned bewilderment, drowning alii 'expressions of grief and knowledge] !of the real extent of the nation's | ! loss. I j After the Queen's death the cur-J few bell at Windsor pealed a knell,! 'also the bells of those churches inf |the provinces, at Balmoral, and| [along the whole Deeside. [: j The Queen always hoped she! |would not die in her sleep, lest she? fwould not he surrounded by her be-5 ; loved ones. This wish was gratified.jj | A few days ago Her Majesty^ {thoughtfully told her attendants to| [go for a walk and take some air. |
