THE KING’S JOURNEY
CONVEYANCE TO CRAIGWELL. EXPECTED IN TWO WEEKS. ACCOMPANIED BY QUEEN. (British Official Wireless.) Received 3 pan. to-day. RUGBY, Jan. 23. The lung is -regaining strength, but so slow is this process that at least two weeks must elapse before he will be -strong enough to be moved to Craigwell House near 'Bognor, where he will go to- recuperate. The only feature which does not give causector satisfaction av present is that the King’s weight does not increase. It is hoped that the change of air will have a beneficial effect.
The Queen will accompany the King to Bognor and it is now thought likely that His Majesty will make the journey by train. The problem is whether the shorter journey by train,, which would necessitate the King’s removal from the car to the train in London and from the train to- another car at Bognor, would have greater advantages than an uninterrupted journey by road, which would take much longer. The advantage of the train would be that it could be so comfortably fitted that little motion would be felt.
