The King and Queen left London on Saturday, and em-

barking in the ` Medina ' at Portsmouth started on their journey to India. Large crowds assembled along the route to bid the King and Queen good-bye ; and at Victoria Station there was a great gathering of the Royal Family, the Cabinet Ministers, and the members of the Diplomatic Corps. It is announced that, by the courtesy of the Ottoman Government., the lights in the Red Sea, which have been put out owing to the war, will be specially relit during the passage of the King and Queen.
