New York. June 1. The pler specially built for the liner Queen Mary was thronged by thousands of people hours before the arrival of the vessel. Half the city is taking a holiday jaunt to every vantage point to see the arrival of the liner. One newspaper states that the enthusiasm of the people and the noise created at the arrival of the "vessel surpassed any such event in New York's maritime history.- Reuter's Bulletin Service,"

notable addition to the Clyde feet of pleasure steamers. ́ It is the St Columba, the new name of the well-known turbine steamer Queer Alexandra, which was own- ed by the Turbine Steamers (Ltd.).

The Queen Alexandra was bulit by William Denny Brothers in Dumbarton in 1912. The vessel has now been transferred to the Mac- Brayne fleet, and during the winter has undergone extensive altera- Lions and additions by James La- mont and Co. (Ltd.), Greenock.

THREE FUNNELS

The most striking change in the vessel is that she has been fitted with a third funnel-a dummy- and three black-topped red funnels give the appearance of a miniature Queen Mary. A second mast has also been added.

The bridge deck has been extend- ed 50 feet and part of the exten- sion has been used for the cocktail

bar.

The St Columba carried through successful trials on the Firth of Clyde and in Loch Fyne yesterday. She will take up service to-morrow on the run from Greenock and Gourock to Ardishaig, in place of the Loch Fyne, which will proceed for overhaul before starting "her usual summer sailings in the West Highlands.
