NEW YORK, March 8 (U. P.).—The Queen Elizabeth, Tew and

gloomy mistress of the seas, presided today over a ghost fleet of luxury §

whose peril had driven her from a

Scottish shipyard in a secret, zig-zag maiden voyage before she even had a trial run to shake her down, the 85,000-ton Cunard White Star

super-liner’s only dangers now were .sabotage and souvenir hunting. To guard against these, 33 more police= men were detailed to the waterfront and all visitors were barred from the ship for her entire stay. Capt. John C. Townley, the Queen Elizabeth’s skipper, had cleared up several points of the mysterious

“ erossing. The ship had been brought to New York “for safety,”

he said. {Much of her interior decorations were incomplete. The lighting system was not installed and wasn’t needed anyhow, because she was “placked out” at nights on her

Townley had been given sealed orders; He didn’t know himself where he was going -until he opened them. Four Eritish warships escorted the liner out of the war zone. : They didn’t meet a ship all the way across the Atlantic. The strange

works, or if his ship ran over any mines. If the device did work, any mines sown in his path by German submarines or airplanes would have been rendered harmless and ‘he wouldn't know about them. The proud new addition to: the ghost fleet is the largest moving thing ever built. Tied up next to her is the Queen Mary, a sistership, and next to that, the French liner Normandie. These are the three largest ships in the world: Nearby are the British liners Mauretania and Scythia. All are guarded day and: night by 117 policemen ashore and in boats, including detectives and members of the alien and sabotage squads. . It had only been made public the night before that she was coming and there was no planned celebration as such an. event would have called for in peace times. - Harbor boatsmen said she “looked like the Rock of Gibraltar” slithering

known on the waterfront as “the big fella.” . Capt. Townley described the erossing as *a lovely voyage.” Sutclift, chief engineer who had the same job aboard the Queen when she made her record-breaking

stands, said the Queen Elizabeth obviously was faster. “There is,” he said. “not the silghtest doubt in my mind that she is the Aastest shi | afloat.”
