Received 1.30 p.m. to-day. LONDON, Dec. 10. The last stages of the H.M.S. Enterprise's voyage were exceptionally rough, the cruiser shipping large quantities of water. The journey was so difficult that the commander asked the Prince of Wales if he to continue through the storm. “Yog, go ahead,” the Prince replied. As the Enterprise entered the harbour she gave the customary 21 guns salute, which was- returned from the fort battery. The Prince, dressed in half tropical and half European dress, returned the Fascist salute with a> military one. He looked well, hut there was no characteristic smile in acknowledgment of the greetings. Despite the rain, a large crowd watched him cross from the cruiser to the train. One' hundred Italian sailors and a company of infantry and Air Force men lined the short ‘ route, but at the Prince’s request there were no military honours. He went straight to his carriage, arid did not appear at the window as the train left, barely five minutes after his arrival.

TRIP ACROSS FRANCE

NO RECEPTIONS IN ENGLAND. LONDON, Dec. 10. The train stopped at Bari for a few moments. The Prince alighted and gave the stationm aster a telegram to despatch to London. As was the case in Italy, all lines in France en route, have been cleared to enable his rapid passage. There will be only one stop for a' change of engines. The Prince will not need to leave his carriage'. The train is expected at Boulogne at seven o’clock on Tuesday night. At the Prince’s special desire, his arrival at both Dover and London will he without demonstration, formality or ceremony. His instructions are quickly being carried out. No one will meet him at Dover except Lord Halsey and (there will be no official reception at Victoria station. The public will bo excluded from the platform and there will be no official representative. The Prince will walk direct from the carriage to a waiting, motor ear. Whether he will drive direct to Buckingham Palace, or fist proceed to. York House will be decided by the Prince himself. His decision will depend on the latest news of the King.
