LONDON, September 10.
Princess Marina made a triumphant progress from Folkestone to London. Thousands cheered her on her disembarking from tho Channel steamer and shouted: "Welcome to our Princess," men and women waving hats and handkerchiefs.
As. the train sped to London' the couiitryfolk waved greetings. Princess Marina described her reception as "really too marvellous." Prince George welcomed the Princess with an affectionate kiss as she descended from the train at Victoria Station. Thousands of people, mostly women, waited hours to see Marina. The pair drove to York House, crowds strewing flowers on the way. In response to vociferous cheering the couple appeared at the window, George blushing like a schoolboy. Marina, more at 'ease, caught the crowd's enthusiasm and waved both hands vigorously.
Equally largo and enthusiastic crowds gathered at King's Cross, from which Prince George, Princess Marina, and her parents departed for Balmoral. Mnrina opened the window of the carriage and cried: "Thank you," and waved to the crowd until the train was out of sight.
