Br United Press NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb. 6—Britain’s new Queen started her long journey home tonight. She was in sorrow but had little time to mourn, The former Princess Elizabeth broke down and wept when her husband tenderly broke the news to her of the death of her father, King George VI. She recovered quickly to begin preparations to rush . back to London to assume the throne of the Commonwealth of Nations and the Empire. A member of her staff said: “She took it like a Queen.” A few hours later, Elizabeth and her husband drove seven miles from their vacation forest lodge to the small farmers’ town of Nunyki. There they boarded an East African Airways Dakota for a flight to Entebbe in Uganda. At Entebbe, the British Overseas Airways Argonaut “Atalanta” which brought her to Africa as a Princess, will be waiting to fly her back to London as a Queen. British officials here said she will arrive in London at about 10:30 a. m. (Indianapolis Time) tomorrow, after .one stop at El Adem, Libya. for refueling. The official call informing Elizabeth of the King’s death was routed through a small country postoffice to Mombasa,
