First Line: Boat horns blare, hands and handkerchiefs wave, as an excited, expectant crowd watches the graceful Queen Mary being nosed into her dock by four tending tugs that churn up the Hudson's calm water into white wakes!

Disclose Notes: A fine "Outer Limits-type story", but for the absence of the TV series hallmark - the ominous "Control Voice" narration. Standard comic-book narrative captions run throughout this story - but nothing resembling the uniquely memorable opening and closing statements of The Control Voice.
