REPULSE TURNS BACK.
Empress Of Australia Meets Mixed Weather. ROYAL PARTY SEE FILM SHOW. British Official Wireless. (Received '2 p.m.) RUGBY, May 9. H.M.S. Repulse took leave of the Knipress of Australia and turned back for home, bringing* mail with her. Their Majesties last night attended a cinema performance. Earlier in the evening King George played deck tennis. The liner has been encountering mixed weather with considerable periods of fog. Reports from the ship state that His Majesty spent some time this morning going through State papers and official messages dispatched to him by radio. Reuter's special correspondent on board the Empress of Australia says the King is looking very fit and happy. He visited the swimming pool to-day, and plays deck tenuis. The weather is still variable and occasionally stormy.
