From Episcopal Audience
WHEN Mrs. Grafton Bulke oon-
cluded the recital of her ex-
periences in a hospital for Eskimos,
last night at the Heavenly Rest
Episcopal church, her audience
broke Into a storm of applause—
something unheard of in an Epis-
copal church, the Rev Willis P.
Gerhart, local rector, said here to-
day.

. room—beds for patients—when she
went, as the bride of the late Dr.
Burke, more than 30 years ago to
Burke made an entirely new scalp
for a child who had been practical-
ly eaten by dogs.
Dr. Burke's appointment as sher-
iff angered the white prospectors,
and one night they were awakened
by the shaking of the house. At
first they thought it was an earth-
quake. but found that the hospital
had been dynamited. Mrs Burke
said Years later, a man who was
the Hudson-Stuck hospital, the the hospital,
world's farthest north hospital. Mrs
Burke said She described the
strange life in the land near the
Arctic circle where It is alternate-
ly dark for 24 hours and then day-
light for 24 hours. It is extremely |
hot in the daylight hours and very
cold, sometimes below 80, in the
dark hours.
There was no officer nearer than
500 miles when she first went to
Fort Yukon, so Dr Burke was made
sheriff He was already the town’s
minister, its dentist, doctor, fitted
glasses and was a bone and skin
specialist. Mrs. Burke told how Dr.
found unconscious in a boat drift-
ing down the Yukon, admited, when
he regained his consciousness, that
he was the man who had dynamited
An interesting part of
Mrs.
Burke s story was her record of the
close association which she and
Dr. Burke had with the heroic Arch-
deacon, Stuck, who went to Alas-
ka from St. Matthews cathedral
in Dallas Dr. Stuck went to Alas-
ka with the celebrated Bishop Rowe,
who, now at 93, continues his jour-
| neys in this rigorous land.
Mrs. Burke came to Abilene yes-

was guest speaker at a luncheon
