TOUR OF SHIPYARDS
MADE BY KING & QUEEN CHEERED BY THOUSANDS OF WORKERS. NIGHT SPENT IN TRAIN. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 11.25 a.m.) RUGBY, August 29.
Their Majesties made a two hours' tour of one of Britain's biggest shipyards in north-west England, where they saw warships on the stocks and others in a basin, almost ready to put to sea. Thousands of shipyards workers cheered the King and Queen on their tour of the yards, which they made on foot.
Their Majesties spent last night on a railway train in a quiet siding somewhere in Lancashire, and although there were many attacks over the country, their Majesties were not disturbed.
