Webb's Death.


Dr. c. w. Palmer, of Lockport, N.
Y, who was one Of the physicians hold
ing q post-mortem examination on tho
body of Captain Webb, furnishes the
following account Of it:
There was found marked rigor NOR
It's, The body was in state Qf active
decomposition. All the tissues were
greatly distended by gases. There was
a scalp wound on top of the Uranium,
three and one-half inches in length, not
involving the bony structure No bones
were found broken. There were sew
eral other local injuries of the body,
but unimporiant as to the cause Of
death. The scalp woundwas evidently
produced after death
The muscular texture was peculiar
BY a cut longitudinally with sharp
scalpel shreds of dessicated muscle
would be carried along with and collect
on the edge of the scalpel, All the
blood presented distinctly red color
i'm some places remarkably red
showing that the blood was not deoxid-
lied by asphyxia in drowning, but that
death ensued prior to that condition.
None of the characteristic symptoms Ot
death from drowning were present,
neither was there any local injury suf-
ficient to necessarily produce death.
The muscles were pale and presented
the peculiar appearance for which we
could find no better name than uX-
desiccation. the flament being ragged
and broken and separating with remark
able facility. The examination on each
extremity and upon the various portions
of the trunk and neck presented uni
formly these conditions.
As the result of our examination am
led to the conclusion, and in this am
seconded by my colleagues, that death
was caused not by asphyxia or drown
ing or by any local injury by the body
coming in contact with any hard sub
stance, but by the shock from the reac-
tionary force Of the water in the whirl-
pool rapids coming in contact with the
submerged body with such force as to
instantly destroy the respiratory power,

pressure and force of contact shock

nerve ceniers, partially desiccate the
tissues, and forestal! any
probable sequel of death by drowning.
The cause Of death in passing through
these rapids being thus constant, and
In no way accidental, as might be
drowning or an injury received from
rocks, forces the conclusion that no liv-
ing body can. or ever will, pass through
the rapids alive; a fact established OF
no little importance. and an ominous
warning 10 an future adventures.
The river bed al the whirlpool rapids
is much narrowed. and also suddenly
assumes greatly increased precip.tancy.
The water strikes the unfolding rocky
hanks with great violence, and by reac-
ton meets with such resistance as to
