How an Infant Patient in
New York Hospital Was
Snatched From the Shad
ows of Death by a Quick
Thinking Surgeon and
Nurse.
Accidents in great cities some
times appear to be the results of
the most hideous plannings of arch
fiends. Frequently it almost seeihs
that back of them is a devilish plan
to upset reason and deny the ex
istence of all justice.
An accidental fire in the Canarsie
section of Brooklyn, several nights
ago, snuffed out the lives of eight
sleeping persons. The fire itself
was confined to the dwelling of the
unfortunate family that was almost
completely wiped out, yet another
human life four blocks away was
cast beneath the very shadow of
death as a result of that same fire.
While Mrs. Anna Hughes, her
five children, her brother and her
aged mother were dying in the
raging furnace which a few min
utes before had been their peaceful
home, Seymour Romer, sixteen
months-old child, was undergoing
an operation for mastoiditis in the
Brownsville and East New York
Hospital, four blocks distant. Dr.

In the course of the exploration of
Kiska island, valuable deposits of sul
pher were found in the crater of an
old volcano. A trail was visible up
the. side of the mountain and it is
rumored at Dutch Harbor that the
i
: sulphur mine was claimed. It is said
that the Alaska Commercial Co., is
interested in it.

Gambling has been stopped on all
the creeks in the Fairbanks district
but is still allowed in the town of
Fairbanks which is an incorporated
town and regulates these matters it
self. It is not known yet by our offi
cials here whether this is to be a gen
eral order for all places outside the
incorporated towns or not, but it
looks as if it was.

D. C. Brownell, Sr., the hardware
merchant, with stores at Seward anc
Valdez, came over from the latte:

ell, who spent about a month witl
her husband in that place, accom

family will make their home in th
future.

Harry Loeb bad administered the
anaesthetic and Dr. Raphael Schii
linger had just made an incision
back of the child’s ear, preparing
to remove a section of diseased
bone that lay directly against the
base of the brain. Two operating
room nurses, Miss Marie Licht, su
pervising nurse, and Miss Alice
Riere, stood by ready to responc
instantly to the soft-spoken instruc
tions of the surgeon and the anaes
thetist. The brilliant lights of the
operating room brought out every
minute detail of the tensest mo
ment of one of the most delicate
of surgical operations.
Suddenly and without warning
as the surgeon leaned forward to
apply the scalpel again, the oper
ating room went black. The lights
of the hospital had failed 1
For an instant a terrible, help
less sort of fear gripped the hearts
of surgeons and nurses. A delay
of even a minute might prove fatal
at this stage of the operation The
delicate, precise work must go on
—and it could not be done without
light.
