VISIT TO CHERBOURG
WOMAN STOWAWAY FOUND
CHERBOURG, May 28,
The Queen Mary arrived at Cherbourg 4 hours 20 minutes after leaving Southampton. The liner embarked 100 or more passengers and also received by air films depicting her departure from Southampton and the running of the Derby, which will be shown aboard tonight. The Queen Mary also took aboard £2,500,000 worth of gold bullion.
A woman stowaway, found soon after leaving Southampton, was landed at Cherbourg.
The Queen Mary is still a gala ship, with flowers everywhere. More than 2000 bouquets were delivered for passengers at Southampton. The commander received over 4000 telegrams wishing him good luck. The ship carries 3500 bags of mail from London and 35,000 letters through the Southampton Post Office, mostly envelope souvenirs which are to be specially stamped.
The liner left Cherbourg for New York at 12.35 a.m.
