Gertrude

swam

a

welcome,
congratulatory
massages
from
President

that
were
said
at

time
to

she

a
gesture
that
has
become
characteristic
since
she
began
to
lose
her
hearing
two
years
ago
as
the
result
of
those
14
hours
in
the
English
Channel
and
said,
a

wistfully:
"It

Four

Gertrude

rode
up

up
