nessed it.

Captain Trouhridge's death at Canton, from the
effects of a coup de soleil, is attributable to a disregard
of many warnings he had received not to expose him-
self. The gallant deceased had his head shaved, neck
blistered, temples leeched, but all in vain—he died
on the 28th September, and his remains were taken
down to Hong-Kong on the 29th, by the Hon. Com-
pany's steamer PAlegethon, and were to be interred
on the 29th. Dr. Graham and Mr. Crispin, the
paymaster of the Amazon, were in constant attendance
o❑ him during his painful illness.
