AS model for the hands of the
statue Mr.. Kitson used those of his
friend, Cardinal OConnell of Bos-
ton. 1t is said that Mr.. Kitson once
told the Cardinal then a parish
priest that he was undecided how
the hands of the statue should be
placed Cardinal O'Connell replied
This is the way 1 think Our Lord
would stand, illustrating his
thought by extending his hands in
supplication. Mr. Kitson used both
the pose and the Cardinals hands
as models.
The statue weighs nearly three
TONS. Its transportation to King
Island was a hazardous project 1t
was Shipped to Nome by steamship
and then transported the last few
miles to the i<land in walrus-skin
boats lasfSd together. Weeks OF
back-breaking effort on the part of
every able-bodied person on the is
land were required to drag it hun
dreds of feet up the rocky hills to
its permanent base on the summit
of the island.
To honor Mrs. Kitson's memory
Miss Buranelli is planning some sort
of memorial to her on Christ the
King Island. So poor are the is
lands inhabitants, she said, that
they are without a covered place to
worship. Miss Buranelli would like
to erect chapel for them.

ESKIMOS SET UP
CHRIST STATUE
ON KING ISLAND
Life Ambition of New York
Woman Realized on
Boring Sea Coast
New York Timesl

The life ambition of the late Mrs
Samuel j. Kitson, wife of the famous
British sculptor and long a resident
Iof New York, finally was realized
on lonely King Island, in the Bering
Sea, Sunday, October 81 the feast
|of Christ the King, seven months
after her death.
There, in the presence of two
American Roman Catholic priests
three scientists and several hundred
Catholic Eskimos, a life-size bronze
statue of Christ was dedicated. The
statue, erected on the highest point
of the island, facing toward Siberia
with supplicating hands, was de-
signed and completed by her.
The selection, completion and
erection of this statue form a ro-
mantle story. Details of it were
revealed in New York by Mrs. Kit
sons niece and assistant, Miss Fell
lefty Buranelli of Is West Sixty
seventh Street.
The Glacier Priest" Father Ber-
nard r. Hubbard, priest scientist
and explorer, is responsible for the
erection of the statue on far-off
King Island. subsequently renamed
Christ the King Island by its 1870
Eskimo inhabitants.
Eighty-five miles from Nome, Al
aska, the island is a barren, rocky
eminence rising 900 feet above sea
level. Its inhabitants are Eskimos,
called cliff-dwellers because they
live in rude huts built on stills
and dashed to steep cliffs. The en-
tire population is Roman Catholic,
having been converted by Father
Bellamine La Fortune, Jesuit mis-
sionary.

the Most Rev Joseph r. Crimont,
Vicar Apostolic to Alaska, and Fa-
ther LaFortune. Father Hubbard
many times has visited the island
in his Alaskan explorations. Several
years ago Bishop Crimont and Fa-
ther LaFortune indicated to him
their desire to have statue OF
Christ the King erected on the is
land, facing toward Siberia as a
symbol to Christians of Christ's love,
even for the atheistic Soviets.
1t was also intended that such a
statue would commemorate the
heroism of Catholic missionaries
working among the Eskimos. King
Island was selected because of its
location between Siberia and Alas
ka, and because its inhabitants are
all Roman Catholics.
Father Hubbard passed months
seeking such a statue. Through Miss
Buranelli he met Miss Kitson and
was told of her statue OF Christ the
King. The statue had been almost
completed by her husband, the first
foreigner to receive the Popes gold
medal for sculpture, at his death in
1906. His widow completed it and
for years a plaster cast stood in the
Kitson studio at q West Sixty-sev-
enth Street.
Several art patrons and galleries
had made overtures to buy it. But
Mrs. Kitson declined all offers, ex-
pressing the desire to place it where
she thought it would be most APP
preciated. Father Hubbard con-
vinced her that King Island was
that place A friend, who prefers
to remain anonymous, made it pos
sible to buy the statue from Mrs.
Kitson.
Packing of Statue Arduous
Known to hundreds as Aunt
Anne eArs. Kitson was widely loved
by persons of all creeds for her
many benefactions. Despite her adj
vanced age-she would have been
83 last September-she busted her
self last Winter with preparations
to cast, pack and ship the statue.
The exertion proved too much for
her strength, she became i'll and
died on Holy Thursday. Had she
lived another week she would have
seen her statue cast in bronze and
started on its long journey to AL
aska.
Mrs. Kitson, like her husband,
convert to Catholicism, passed most
of her time. after his death in char
liable activities. Among her friends
