ROUSING RECEPTION
DUKE AND DUCHESS OF KENT.
DEPARTURE FOR WEST INDIES.
(British Official Wireless.)
(Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Rugby, January 25. The Duke and Duchess of Kent had a rousing reception from 400 cruising passengers when they joined them aboard the liner Duchess of Richmond, in which they sailed from Southampton to the West Indies to-day. His Royal Highness had flown from Hendon to Southampton in the Prince of Wales’s dragon moth aeroplane, accompanied by the Duke’s equerry. They are travelling as ordinary passenders. The liner left a few minutes late as wild weather delayed the aeroplane from Hendon.
The Duke and Duchess of Kent leave the liner at Trinidad and fly to Jamaica to greet the Duke of Gloucester.
