Capt Geddes had booked their pass ages to India, but he appeared to have been left without the funds necessary to his outstanding accounts. Coroner was of opinion that Capt. Geddes having suddenly discovered that happi- ness had cost such large sums and that he was not able to discharge his debts took the matter to heart. And not being men- tally perfect, or strong and healthy owing to illness contracted in service, his brain seemed to have yielded to a sudden impulse to end his troubles by taking his life.

After that his wife stunned by an over- whelming sorrow, and in a state of frenzy, appeared to have yielded to the almost insane impulse to join her husband and kill herself.,

The Coroner thought that both were insane at the time of the tragedy.
