Their Majesties made a two-hour tour of one of Britain's biggest shipyards in the north-west of England, where they saw warships on the stocks and others in the basin almost ready to put to sea. Thousands of shipyard workers cheered them on their tour of the yards, which their Majesties made on foot. Their Majesties spent last night in a railway train at a quiet siding somewhere in Lancashire, and although there were many attacks over tlie country their Majesties were not disturbed.
