DR. GEORGE SHORKLEY OF CAMDEN.
U
P where the midnight sun st.reams thru the Northern ni~ht; Fightin2; the weary miles as only Men could fight. He was one of tbe band, facing the North, alone. Seeking the heart of things, bunting the great unkuown. Never a finer quest have men of daring dared; Never were greater risks than those that Shorkley shared; Five long years be gave, strength of body and soulLeagues to the North each time; each time nearer the pole. Soldier and surgeon he; man of tbe land and the sea Followed the flag tbat waved for Cuba's liberty; And now in a seaport town mIres up his work again Doing his daily round; sootbing the bed of pain.
