Hawkes, in the East India Company's service at Bombay. In his way across a narrow pass from Bombay to a small island near it, which is fordable, the bearers of his palanquin became frightened by the flowing of the tide, let down the palanquin, and ran away. Col. H. who was a very expert swimmer, endeavoured to make his way to the shore; but the current overpowered his strength, and he was drowned. His lady had passed over the ford safely only a short time before. |
