ON WORLD TOUR
LINER MAY VISE* DOMINIONS LONDON, June 16. “I hope the Queen Mary will be sent on a world tour to enable Australia to olfer her congratulations on a great British achievement,” said Mr Lyons after inspecting the mammoth liner to-day. Mr Lyons was taken across the Clyde in a launch, three of which could steam abreast down the Queen Mary’s funnel, and as he looked up at the liner’s towering side, he murmured “Magnificent.” He made a tour of the vessel to the accompaniment of the noise made by 15,000 workmen, and walked half a mile round the decks, only fatigue preventing his descending the series of ladders to the engineroom, or ascending to the bridge, that towers 100 feet above the level of the Clyde.
