Her courage and endurance were
amazing. While those who acconi
punied her sat huddled under their
sweaters and heavy robes shivering in
i he rowboat, Trudie, hour after hour,
with her long brown arms crawling
over the water and a beautiful fiame
i»i her eyqs, led the way through the
stinging salt water.
Discarded Her Goggles.
Gertrude had discarded her goggles
after a few minutes’ trial because they
failed to keep out the water. Land
ing at Wimereaux, where a fisherman
was gathering in his shrimp nets, they
persuaded the man to go up the hill
into town to fetch an automobile.
While waiting, Trudie, shied behind a
little hut on the beach and changed
into a dry bathing suit and sweater.
Then all but Burgess drove to Gris
Xez. Burgess rowed the boat home.
After Trudie was given a massage
by Mnte. Burgess and had eaten soup,
fish, roast pork, baked beans and cus
tard pie, she frowned and said: “I sup
pose you all are as disgusted with me
as I wrn with myself. I had intended
staying in the water four hours and
I only stayed three.”
