A lamentable fatality occurred on board the steamer Gorgon on her last trip hither, frous Slingapore. Among the passenger was a Mr. L W. Lamothe, aged about 21 years, parents occupy a leading position In Bremen, and whose failing health necessitated ble travel- lag in warmer latitudes. Mr. Lamothe spent some time to Singapore, and left on the rBib. for Bangkok, with a letter of introduction to Messrs. Markwald & Co, whose hospitality he hoped to erfoy for some months. About breakfast time, some five hours after the Gorgon had left Singapore, it was noticed that the bathroom door was fastened for an unusually long time, and Captain Jackson had the grating overhead removed. It was then discovered that Mr. Lamothe was lying with bis head in the bath, which only contained to er 12 laches of water, whilst his body was hanging over the side, his feet touching the floor. Every attempt was at once made to make him recover conaciones, but in veln, it being evident that life was extinct.
