London, June 5. OER marksmanship by an Englishman recently returned from Australia saved the life of the Duchess of Kent, the former Princess Marina of Greece and wife of King George's youngest brother, last night.
The Duchess of Kent and her companion, Lady Portarlington, narrowly missed death as they left the residence of the Duchess in an automobile to drive to a cinema to see "Wuthering Heights."
Neither of the women was even aware that a shot had been fired and was intended to have hit one of them. The Duchess of Kent knew nothing of the attempt on her life until she returned home late last night.
When she was informed of her narrow escape she was most shocked, but recovered her composure immediately, it was learned.
Mr. G. Kirkwood, a passing motorist, and his wife who were driving through Belgrave Square, where the residence of the Duke of Kent is located, heard the shot. Mr, Kirkwood also saw the man who fired the shot and rushed a policeman to the spot and the man was arrested.
