The vessel missioning trials, and Northeast and a comrade named Whittington commenced skylarking on the mess-deck. Among other amusements, they started a boxing bout. Suddenly Notth- cast fell backwards, his head striking a buik. bend. The man was picked up unconscious, and in a few minutes he expired. It was at first thought that he had fractured his skull, but a post-mortem examination showed that death was due to pressure of a clot of blood on- the brain, At the inquest at the Royal Naval Hospital, Haslar, the jury returned a verdict of death from natural causes, and exonerated Whittington from all blame.
