He died Monday and spent the first hour of his eternal Christmas "at home." Captain Bate is thus a hand short, but hoped to secure a former member of his crew to fill the place. He however, was on the Merritt's steamer Rescue at the wreck of the Ariosto, off Hatteras, and could not be reached in time as the Rhodesia sailed last night. Henry was buried in the seamen's lot here.
