Much regret is felt here at the death jof Prof. B. H. Marsh, on the 18th instant, after a brief illness. Prof. Marsh came to China to teach in the Anglo-Chinese College at this place in 1898, soon after graduating from the North-western University at Evanston, near Chicago, Illinois. He was married in June, 1900, to Miss Evelyn C. Pinkney, who for several years Wwas in charge of the Foochow Graded School, which was patronised by missionaries and the community families. Deep sympathy is felt for Mrs. Marsh, who with her two children soon takes her departure for the United States.
The S. S. Haeshin.
The loss of the s. Haeshin is a very personal matter to many foreigners of this port, as a largo proportion of our residents, who have had occasion to visit Shanghai, have taken one or more trips on this little steamer. It is a matter of regret that any of the Chinese passengers were lost, but all will rejoice that the captain, officers and crew were saved. None can fail to sympathise with Captain Lowe, who is very popular here and whom all have found a most genial and thoughtful captain to travel with.
