He left his home to tempt the fickle wave,
And now reposes in a foreign grave.
Peace to his soul, ay, everlasting peace,
Where tortures come not, — pleasures never cease.
In memory of Jon. M. Dublois,
Seaman of the U. S. ship North Carolina,
Who died August, 1837,
Aged 40 years.
In memory of James Taylor,
Seaman on board the U. S. ship Peacock,
Who departed this life June 19, 1832,
Aged 51 years.
Sacred to the memory of James Laurence,
Late seaman on H. M. S. President,
Who departed this life Sept. 1, 1836,
Aged 33 years.
A worthy shipmate and a friend sincere,
In the cold, silent grave now sleeps he here.
His warning was but short, — think of his fate,
And prepare for death before it is too late.
Sacred to the memory of William Edwards,
Late Royal Marine of H. M. S. Harris,
Who departed this life Nov. 29, 1837,
Aged 26 years.
I am here at rest from busy scenes,
I once belonged to the Royal Marines.
I am now confined within these borders,
Remaining here for further orders.
