other towns in the county following their example in this
matter, and trying to set up a demonstration like it. He
had one or two letters from friends in other parts who saw
the mention of the demonstration at Dorchester in the
papers, and had written to him to ask how it was done,
and he was only too pleased to ere them the information,
for he warn always glad when Dorchester was able to set a
good example to other towns. He really thought they might

years, and which ho hoped they should never see again.

, however, that as they enjoyed it they would not forget to

DEATH OF MR JOSEPH KELLA WAY, V.C.
The biographer to whose lot it may fall to perpetuate the
history of the heroes of our navy will tied few more

his pen than the late Mr. Joseph Kellaway, whose death
t eh place on Siturday, the 204 lost, st his residence in
the Luton-rowl, Chatham. Mr. Jame!' Kellaway was born
at Kingston, Elorset,ou September Isl. 1826, and rotated
the navy on the 13th Ootober, 1811, on board lbs St.
Vincent. in Portsmouth harbour. lii the capacity of 3rd
clam boatswain he served in IL M fi Rayner& which vessel
being wrecked on the 31s1 Men 1851 in the China See, be
returned to England in the Woodbridge in the following
year. Speaking of his services render, d daring the trials
and hardships which attended the wreck, Commander
0mo:oft says : "His conduct was in every way deserving
of my approbation, and I consider him • most invaluable
officer, and one who will do credit to the service. From
February, 1852. to April. 1854, his name appears in the
Si. George, Boscswen. Poictiors, and various guardshipe at
Portsmouth, Chatham, ha On April 4th, 1851, he was
appointed as boatswain on board the Tartarus, from which
vessel after a two months amiss he was transferred to the
Wrangler. During the Crimean War, and whilst boat.-
seam of the Wrangler in the Sea of Asoff, he was taken
prisoner, after • stout resistance, whilst endeavouring to
rescue Mr. °devalue, mate. This salient service was per-
formed on the shore near Marionaeol A detachment con-
sisting of Mr. ()devalue, mate,Mr. Kellaway,boatewale, and
three seamen, had been despatched from the Wrangler to
endeavour to burn some boats, fishing stations, la, on the
opposite side of • small lake; they had nearly reached the
spot when they were fired upon by • body Of 50 Russian
bowers, who suddenly rushed from their ambush
and endeavoured to cut off their retreat. One
man fell into the enemy's hands, but Mr. Kellaway and
the two other seamen had contrived to make good their
escape, when Mr. °dentine accidently fell ; Mr. Kellaway ,
apparently imagining him to be wounded without a
moment's hesitation, returned to his rescue, risking his
own life, to succour his oomanding officer, unfortunately,
while lifting up Mr. Odevelon, they were surrounded by the
enemy, and, notwithstanding • gallant but hopeless resist-
ance by Mr. Holloway, they were both made prnera The
treatment they received when once overpowered is thus
described by Mr. Kellaway :—" Five men sprang upon
me, four laying hold of my hand and feet, while the
fifth held on to my heart Be dint of mu-agates I
succeeded at last in throwing off four of MT captors, but
the remaining one managed to retain his hold upon my
beard, until the rest recovering themselves, came to his
assistance, when taking me by the heels they pulled me
along in that position for a long
_distance, Eventually
Mr. Odevalne, a 'stamen, and myself were tied to tree. •
Food space apart, expecting every moment to be shot,
but our anticipations on that score were fortunately not
realised, and we were shortly
.afterwards taken up into
the interior, as far as Tanana. For this act of bravoy
ha was recommended for the Victoria Cross, of which
honourable order be was the seventh recipient, Her
Majesty in person planing the decoration on his breast.
He left the Wrangler as 2 id class boatseraie in June 1956,
afterwards doing duty on bawd the Firebrand, Formidable,
Edinburgh, and Royal George, In 1861 he received the
rank of Ist clew bowswein on board the Clio, and upon
tieing discharged from that vessel when lying at
Panama foe a passage to Eriglana Cotsin Miller
I endorsed his certificate thus, "Mr. Kell away has gained,
' and justly so the respect and esteem of every officer in his
ship, and I beg to recommend him most strongly to their
Lordships.' From November 1861 to July 1862 he was on
the At* going over from tint nasal to the E leer. at
Portimmth, on which ship he !served until 14th
December, 1865. On the ilith May, 1868, he was promoted
to his position of chief boatsman, and appointed as
foreman of riggers at Chatham Dockyard, and two years
later be received the poet of boatsmen of the same
establishment. At the end of 1877, and after nearly 40
years of fictive service, the first si‘na of the painful com-
plaint which °load his zealous ani honourable career
were manifest, and on December, Slith of the year
he was granted • retiring pension a £143 per annum,
when he returned to the less arduous life of • civilian
in which sphere while retaining the warmest friendship
of his brother officer', he speedily found himself sur-
rounded by • circle of friends, who, recognising at once
the genuineness sod affability of his nature, regarded him
as • man whom to know was to respect. Although he had
been ailing for time past, his death, which occurred early
on Saturday morning, was very DU Men, for IN he was
about to inhale the steam from • Jug of hot water for the
purpose of alleviating the pain in his chest, he fell back
upon the bed and expired immediately. The primary
cause of death was aneurism of the aorta, which, in the
C.lllO of the deceased, was occasioned by • fall sustained
several veers since, and for which for the hut 7 or 8 years
he had been treated by Drs. Chit and Baskerville respec-
tively. The deceased, who was 54 years of age, leaves a
widow and an only daughter. The funeral took place on
Saturday afternoon, in Chatham Cemetery, when, in
accordance with his previously-expressed desire, the usual
naval honors were dispensed with. The following brother
oflicen of deceased acted as pall-bearers :—Messrs. Crate%
Church, Higham, King, Lamb. Maroney, MiUett, Penni-
colt, Stewart, Taylor, Woodley, and Potter; amongst the
private friends of the deceased were Kessri. W. G.
Switle, T. Hooper, ann. Richards, Beeman, Ellis, and
Superintendent Smith. Mr. Kellaway, brother of deceased,
was chief mourner. Mr. Cruise, of Chatham Deckyard,
deposited • bouquet of flowers on the coffin previous to its
being lowered into the grave. It may be added that
amongst the nine decorations earned by the late officer,
and perhaps next in value to tbeVictoria Cross, is the
Order of the Legion of Honor.
