QUEEN MARY IN A STORM
COMMANDER ON BRIDGE FOR SIXTY HOURS LONDON, November 9. The commander of the Queen Mary, Captain R. V. Peel, says that the recent Atlantic storm was the longest in his experience, keeping him on the bridge for 60 hours continuously. The ship handled well, and she did not roll unduly, in spite of the huge seas. She faced the head seas admirably. Several passengers suffered minor injuries. The New Zealand Minister for Finance (the Hon. W. Nash) paid a tribute to the Queen Mary’s behaviour amid waves from 60 to 80 feet high, which lashed his cabin window eight decks up.
