protruding from it. He lost several volumes of blood, which left him remarkably weak and paced, but very well as I can expect today. 27th. Mr. Hopton has been gradually becoming weaker all day.

When I came off from shore this evening, I found him so low as to force me to tell Captain Oliver, that I could acquaint him of his danger tomorrow - if he was not better. About half an hour afterwards, he sent for me, when I found his pulse so perceptibly weaker, that I told him so gently, and at the same time as kindly as I was able, that I feared his recovery was beyond my skill. In half an hour more, he expired.

28th. This morning, after breakfast, I had a very satisfactory examination of the body. The knife passed in between the ninth and tenth ribs, and then took a downward direction in its course, wounding the large intestine. Great and extensive inflammation was the natural result, so that Mr. Hopton died of inflammation of the bowels and other parts, in consequence of the stab he received.

Extracts from Forsyth's private letter, addressed to Captain Barwise of the ship Cloristone, now lying in this harbor.
