Entry  JOHNSON – Captain Johnson, late of the Kellie Castle, was unfortunately drowned in the Kapauymoon passage on the morning of the 26th ultimate, between twelve and one o'clock, when on his way to Hangkong in the Lancet. He was knocked overboard by the main-boom, when in the act of jibing, and although his cries were heard for a minute or two, it was impossible to save him, there not being a small boat on board, and the wind blowing fresh astern. We understand that a subscription will be immediately commenced for the benefit of his widow and two children, the youngest of whom is only eight months old. - Canton Register.
