 | Surname | Crichton | | | First name | John | | | Title | Mr | | | Year | 1803 | | | Month | May | | | Location | Bandel  | | | Volume | 11 | | | Page No | 160 | | | Full Text | At Bandel, after a few days illness, Mr. John Crichton, a young man, whose honesty, diligence, and correct behaviour for several years past, in a subordinate station, under the commissioner's court, made him esteemed by his friends abd superiors as a useful good man in the department he filled with much private credit and public advantage. His death was probably accelerated by an accident on the river some three weeks ago, when on trip to little garden which he possessed in Serampore. His boat overset in the middle of the stream, and not being able to swim, he must have immediattely perished, but for a faithful bearer who raised him at the risk of his own life on the bottom of the boat. He continued there exposed to a burning sun, till he was so much exhausted, that had not a police wherry put off to his relief, he must have been washed into the river by the waves, which were very troublesome at the time. He reached the shore almost insensible, when a very humane native took him into his house, and not only administered every relief in his power, but had him conveyed safely to Calcutta. He had not recovered from the effects of the above disaster, when he was seized with a fever, which, in spite of the best medical advice and attendance, put a period to his existence, and left his friends to regret his loss. |
