The death occurred on 4th March, in his eightieth year, of Captais James Bucknell Atkins, Elder Brother of this Trisity House. When taking troops to the China War in the Imperador, he made what long stood as the record passage from Portsmouth to Singapore. Using bis steam simply as an auxiliary, he did not stop at the Capo f. r coal, and arrived at Singapore about a fortnight before he was expected. Afterwards ho was requested to lay his log before she Admiralty, Messrs. Laird the builders, gave him a present of plate, and the owners voted him a cheque, though the intter was withdrawn when he had the tals- fortuou to callido with sailing vorsel on to return voyage.
At that time sailing ships carried no lights, although the obligat on theu, as now, was on steamers to keep out of the way. It was no wonder that ho was one of the first signatories of the petition to the Government to compel sailing ships to carry distinguishing lights at night.
