...shot in the dusk is scarcely news at Tirana-that little, vile, ill-favored capital. But last week the bullet was Italian, the blood Albanian. That was news.

As morning dawned again the Hercules bellowed up through a driving rain to the clear skies above and flew 350 miles over sea to the British Island of Malta...
...Rest. Dusk came. As lamps were lighted the Emperor received an ounce of liquid food administered through a tube. He was approaching the last stages of pneumonia, and his lungs have always been weak. At his bedside a physician administered oxygen whenever he seemed sinking. The pulse, constant for some time at 126,* became too fast to count. The respiration mounted to 84;? the Emperor's feet swelled markedly...
