Captain klentraer.—Died, on board his vessel,
Capt. Joute HUDDAIT, of the To.ssisbeled Rey! idle
totter. The eircurastAnces of this gentleman's
Death ate peculiarly distressing: he had been for a
-onsiderable time back in a vet y declining state art
health, but from an extreme anxiety to do his duty,
be resisted the remonstrances of his family, and all
considerations of a personal nature : he combated
with his intirmities to the last, and was in the aft of
convoyirg (by order of Admiral Lord GARDSCS)
Capt. Baits v. of the Royal Navy, to Loughswilly,
when he died. *Thus did he close a faithful, loyal,
and honourable service of twenty-two years, the
early part of which was distinguished at the relief
of Gibraltar, on which occasion he was Midshipman
tinder the Hon. Captain, now Admiral PAS:Et:HAM.
He was an affetctionate and sincere friend, a fond
husband and father, and in all the relations of life,
the amiability of his manners, and the integrity of
his heart, challenged the love and esteem of all who
knew him. What remains to be told is the most me-
lancholy ; his own pailTS, his cares, and his sorrows,
have died with him ; but while he was expiring in
the public serrate, unaided of all the kind and sooth-
ing offices of domestic tenderness and love, be was
leaving behin•l him, utterly aimpreeft4eif for, a vitt
and eight children.
