March ‘I-(AP) — The Great British liner Queen El ending a dangerous 3,- COO-mile 2mm acmss the Atlantic. arrived at her New York pier at .' P. M. EST (5.40 P. M. AST toda . the 86.00044»: ship was ln- h the dock, the crew of the British Msxfy be star. assembled on the ufterdeck to cheer their comrades on the Elllzabeth. Vessels near the shore set up a tb ‘ o ‘ their whistles bowling, and the crew of the 83,- OOO-ton French liner Normandle. set up a cheer of their own. She arrived with no visible anna- ment. but protected by a. new cable hanging high above the wot» er-Line and designed to set up elec- trical impulses to nullify magnetic mines. To berth here safe from Ger- man bombs she had dared the fatal thrust that might have come from German submarines lying here and there under the 3,000 miles of cold water loetween Scot- land and New York. No Fanfare As she came up the bay-this mighty ship lnto whose construc- , tion had gone neanly $30,000, she made it a pondenously routine business. without the slightest hint of fanfare. She was a deliberately ugly mon- ster. her clean, functional lines al- most obscured by the dirty grey paint slapped all over her vast surface as camouflage, and by the black smoke trailing from her funnels in the sharp March wind. She brought a skeleton crew of 300 to 400 men —includlng a lit- tle tar who shouted "very n ce trip! loveiy" and carried two mounted pillbox housings which looked like observation pos . When the giant finally swung into her New York pier, vessels all around sent up a th nderous wel- come of bawllng whis ‘es. Newsmen were refused permis- sion to board the Queen Elizabeth but they shouted questions from the pier and one 7w member, be- fore being silenced bv officials on the ship. told reporters that four destroyers conveyed her for one y. Tug Greets Queen The first to greet her well down the Bay, a little- pot-bellied tug pushing out on a work-a-day errand. loosed three blasts and the Elizabeth's hoarse whistle roared three solemn responses. Her officers Iounged casually on deck, the collars turned up on their jackets. but the seamen were less unbendlng. Some of them ran up and down, waving and peering at un airplane circling overhead. Farther us the Bay. a cluster of nondescrlpt vessels cffeted an un- official welcome and than Elizabeth dropped her hock at quarantine for several hours‘ ride at anchor before proceeding on to her dock. One customs officer. two im- migration officials and two office's of Cunard-White Star. the owners. swung aboard from a bobbmg coast guard cutter; all others were barr- ed and tere was a general alr of secrecy all through the proceedings. "Hello," said Captain John Bar- low. the company's assistant marine superintendent. "Well." replied Captain J. C. Townley, the Elizabeth's master and the hero of the strangest maiden voyage ever made by s merchantman-"wers here . " A "Normal" Crossing Urged to tell whathehad learned of the trip. Barlow announced that lt was “just s. normal crossing." But then. making a relative breach or restraint, he conceded:- "It was an exce‘lent job, under the circumstances." The great ship had made the crossing from Greenock. Scot- land -where she had halted brief- lv on a voyage that. actually had begun from her fitting-out basin on the Clyde River -in six days. Ten tugs were called lnto ser- vice to assist her lnto berth along- side the Queen Mary and the Nor- mandie. . These figures suggest the magrwude of the job of berthlng the Elizabeth:- She would fill four city blocks; she is 7 1-2 times heavier than the Eiffel Tower. Her top speed has not become officiafy known-since this was her first voyage and her in- terior still isn't. completed -- but Marilltlimae men figured it well above 30 o . The line itself subsequently ls- sued a statement saying "no plans have been made for the vessel be- vond tielng her up at pier 90 with the Queen Mary." The official explanation for the lirlzabethu dash from home was thus stated :- "In view of existing circum- stances lt was decided that the shin should proceed to New York. which she did. leaving last Saturday and srlrvlng today after an uneventful voyage at moderate speed.
