Sad Death of Captain Speke, the African

Traveller.

As stated in our report of the proceedings of the
British Association at Bath,Captain Speke came to a
sudden and violent death on Thursday evening last,
while shooting in the neighbourhood of Box, Wilt-
shire. The following particulars of this melancholy
affair have been gleaned on the spot. It appears
that Captain Speke, who was to have taken part in
the proceedings of the British Association at Bath
yesterday, and to 'have encountered Captain Bur-
ton in a public discussion as to the true source of
the Nile, was visiting at Mr Fuller's, of Nestor.
park, Wilts, his uncle, and had gone out shooting
with Mr George Fuller, on Thursday. After about
two hours' shooting it would appear, from the state.
ment of Mr Fuller, that the unfortunate deceased
was getting over a low stone wall, when by some
mischance h's gun exploded while the muzzle of it
was pointed at his el,est. The consequence was
that the charge entering his body passed completely
through, severing the main arteries of the dies',
lacerating the lungs, and passing close to the heart.
Mr Fuller, hearing the gun' fired, turned round in
time to see his friend and relative fall from the wall
into the field, and the keeper, who was marking
birds at a short distance, seeing his master run to-
wards the deceased, Ft Iso went up and found him
mortally wounded. He was only sensible for a few
minutes. On Mr Fuller coming up he moved his
hand to his chest and said feebly, "Don't move
me." Shortly afterwards he breathed his last. A
surgeon was on the 'spot very soon after the acci-
dent, but he was dead before his arrival. The de.
ceased was 38 years of age and unmarried. ,
