M0NrIyIDEo, May 10, lS45.


am sorry to tell you we have lost one Of our
shipmates--Ac Lieutenant Robert Poinsett Low
ell. He had been sick about 10 days with severe
dysentery, and died on the 7th Of May.
Yesterday we buried him in the English burying-
ground, near the town. He was from Charleston,
South Carolina, and nephew of Mr.. Ponsett OF
that State. Lowell and were friends and the cap
tain ordered that should walk as mourner at the
funeral; which did, with the second lieutenant Of
the ship, who was his most intimate messmate.
He has mother, sisters, and brothers in Charles
his remains. All the ships in the harbor half-mast-
ed their coors, and about thirty boats followed him
to the shore.
His death was caused by his neglecting to report
in time to the doctor, and walking about 8 miles
in the country to see young Spanish lady. This
is the most melancholy affair that have ever wit
messed on board ship. As he and were off duty
at the same time, we were much together on shore.
