Marie of Roumania has left for her

The liner Bcrengaria on which she

day.
In sharp contrast to her welcome
was America S farewell 10 the queen

from the small crowd gathered on

Thus, the queen, who had been
the country S toast, was merely a

But listeners straining at radio

Of the old PN-9 in which the late

cific before rescue came and the
