LINER FOR ROYAL TOUR

(N.Z.P.A. —Reuter—Copyright) LONDON, July 17. The Admiralty will take over the Shaw Savill liner Gothic in September after she arrives in London at the end of her present run from New Zealand, to prepare the vessel for the Queen’s Commonwealth tour in December. The diarist for the “Star” says that the Royal suite in the Gothic has remained sealed and ready ever since February of last year, when the liner lay off Mombasa waiting to take the Queen, then Princess Elizabeth, to Australia and New Zealand. That tour was cut short by the King’s death. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh will occupy the suite when the liner picks them up at Jamaica after they have flown there on the first stage of their tour. The Queen’s cabin has a dove grey decor with pink-shaded wall lamps. Some of the furniture will come from the Royal yacht, Victoria and Albert.
