firemen busy from 3:45 to 4:15 p.

Howard M. Lee, Secretary-Treas
urer of the Dunn Fire Department.
The fire had been started to some
vacant lots under department sup

; water, it got out of control.
Eighteen men responded to file
alarm and the fire was extinguished

But none of her subjects saw their
new queen. She went from her res
idence at Clarence House to near
by St. James Palace through an
inner passageway and returned the
same way.
Standing before a gathering of
men, most of them old enough to
be her father or grandfather, she
swore that she is “a faithful Prot
estant and that I will, according to
the true intent of the enactments
which secure the Protestant suc
cession to the throne of my realm,
uphold and maintain the said en
actments to the best of my powers,
according to law."
Turning to the assemblage, the
queen said in a firm, clear voice:
“Your royal highnesses, my lords,
ladies and gentlemen:
“By the sudden death of my dear
father, I am called Vo assume the
duties and responsibility of sov
ereignty.
“At this time of deep sorrow, it
is a profound consolation to me to
be assured of the sympathy which
you and all my peoples feel toward
me, to my mother* and my sister,
and to other members of my fam
ily.
“My father was our revered and
beloved head, as he was to the
wider family of his subjects; the
grief which his loss brings is shar
ed among us all.
“J know that in my resolve to
follow his shining example of ser
vice and devotion, I shall be in
spired by the lpyalty and affection

They saw the late monarch at

of the fleet. Near the “sailor king"
as hs was affectionately known,
lay his cocked hat and gold-hilted
sword. Across his chest' was the

SERVANTS WEEP
Some of the servants of the royal
estate wept openly as they shuf
fled silently through the bedroom.
Many had served him since youth.
They were the first persons out
side the royal family to see the
king as he lay in death. Queen
Mother Elizabeth wanted it that
way. She though it fitting that
people who loved him most and
had spent a lifetime working for
1 him should be the first to pay
their final respects.
Standing a bit back and to one
side in the room was Jimmie Em
erson, 73, royal carpenter, who
had finished his last work for the
king. It was a coffin, made from
a season oak which the king him
self had felled.
Near the bed stood James Mac-
Donalds, the king’s valet. He found
the monarch’s body when he
! brought him his morning tea two
days ago.
