Last week George VI and Queen Elizabeth became the first ruling British monarchs to set foot on the New World. As it happened, the first foot each set down when they left the gangplank of the Empress of Australia at Quebec was the left foot. This ill omen was somewhat reflected in the reserved manner in which Quebec's French-speaking citizenry received them, causing New York Timesman John MacCormac to observe: "Canadian crowds are given to taking their pleasures silently, if not sadly." But the farther west Their Majesties went on their 26-day Canadian trip, the more...

...liner Empress of Australia, bearing their precious persons from England, groped through blinding fog, shied away from towering icebergs and treacherous, low-floating "growlers," made hooting, painfully slow progress westward. It was a bad crossing from the start. Three days out George had to muffle up and Elizabeth stayed mostly indoors as a 60-mile gale whipped the Empress, tossing up mighty waves that washed over her gunwales. The wallowing sent many of the retinue discreetly to their cabins, but Their Majesties proved fine sailors. In the teeth of the gale, they watched the battle cruiser Repulse pick...
Next day, while Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose went elephant riding in London Zoo back home, Their Majesties watched one of the remaining escort, the cruiser Southampton, in an anti-aircraft demonstration, peppering a black smoke shell cloud with hits that puffed white against it. Another day, and on the second anniversary of Their Majesties' coronation, the cruisers fired a 21-gun salute, and George issued the welcome order to "splice the main brace" (extra grog for all hands). Three hundred and fifty miles off Cape Race, 1,350 miles from Quebec, the Empress' experienced crew...
