his life, one at Ottawa on Friday,
and two at Montreal.

was felt and there were signs of re-
turning consciousness. Lord Tweeds-
muir was 64 years old.
Since he became Governor-General
in 1985 he had become known to
Canadians everywhere through his
travels, which carried hint from popu-
lous cities to the Arctic Ocean. They
