New York, Mar. 7.
Everything is completed for the docking of Britain's new giant liner Queen Elizabeth, including the moving of the Mauretania away from her berth alongside the Queen Mary and Normandie. The task of piloting a vessel of such size into New York harbour is one of extraordinary difficulty.
The ship might have to anchor for ordinary difficulty.
The ship might have to anchor for some time in the outer harbour should the weather be unfavourable.
Shipping circles in New York say that the trip of the Queen Elizabeth appeared to point to one of two conclusions: either that the submarine menace in the Atlantic is not as great as it was at the outset of the war, or that the Queen Elizabeth was so powerfully convoyed as to make her impregnable.—Reuter.
