Possibility of Cruise in Yacht LORD BROWNLOW ESCORTS HER TO CANNES Cannes, December 6. "Mrs. Simpson is very tired and is not leaving her room. Probably she will not stay for more than four or five days,” Mrs. Herman Rogers stated. The blinds of Mrs. Simpson’s room were drawn all day, and police guard the villa and the grounds at many points. Photographers who climbed adjacent trees were disappointed. The captain of Mrs. Reginald Fellowes’s yacht Sister Anne, which is now in Monte Carlo Harbour, lias been

ordered aboard. The vessel is probably being prepared for a cruise by Mrs’ Simpson. Workmen were busy all day Sunday altering Mrs. Fellowes’s villa at Rocque Brune, near Cap Martin, and possibly Mrs. Simpson may stay there. The “Daily Telegraph” says that Lord Brownlow, Lord-in-Waiting to the King, escorted Mrs. Simpson from London to Cannes. The Cannes correspondent of “The Times” is authorised to say that Mrs. Simpson has given no interview to any journalist in England and France.
