King's illness eases as crowd at Buckingham grows calmer
Reports from London state King George’s health showed signs of improvement after a quiet night and a cautiously optimistic official bulletin. Lord Dawson of Penn affirmed care at Lau rather than bedside vigil. Crowds outside Buckingham Palace appeared less tense as weathered observers noted the shift in mood and a hopeful outlook persisted. The Prince of Wales returned from East Africa aboard a fast cruiser, while the Duke of Gloucester aimed for Victoria Falls en route to Cape Town in a bid to catch a mail boat Friday. Premier Baldwin announced the king’s condition as well enough that morning.
