NORDICA’S LAST GIFT TO BOY
OF ’l4
From Thursday Island, where for
days Mine. Lilian Nordica lay on a
bed of pain from which she arose on
ly to go to her death bed in Java, a
white marble tombstone was brought
to Kan Francisco, arriving yesterday.
It will mark the grave of George Mc-
Donald. a Columbia Park club boy.
and is a gift to the dead from a dead
woman whom the world bus mourn
ed.
When the sweet singer who had held
the people of a dozen nations under
the spell of ifer voice and art, ship
wrecked and suffering from shock,
was taken to the hospital on Thurs
day Island, she found a younthful coun
tryman of hers on an adjoining cot.
George McDonald, one of the Colum
bia Park boys touring the world.
Across the space between the cots
the two Americans—famous diva and
hopeful boy—formed an acquaintance
which ripened into the warmest
friendship, the bond of their Ameri
canism in a far land strengthened by
the bond of a common suffering. The
boy smiled often after the wonderful
lady came to lie near him, talk to him
and at times sing fragrments of splen
did music softly. He was the last to
hear her songs. The happiness of
that association glorified the close of
the bright young life, but could not
ward away the shadow which was
creeping over it.
George McDonald died, and Mme.
Lillian Nordica was left alone, the
only American in the hospital
on Thursday Island. Her grieving
thought of her lost companion found
expression in the little memorial
monument of white marble, on which
she had inscribed:
“In memory of my little American
friend, George McDonald, who died
February 13, 1914, far away from
home. From his countrywoman, Lil
lian Nordica.”—San Francisco’ Ex
