It is with deep regret that we have to record the death of Mr. James Hutchison Morrison, which occurred early yesterday morning, as a result, we believe, of sprue. Mr. Morrison, who was sixty-seven years of age, was well-known and very popular amongst the shipping community of Shanghai and was one of our oldest "floating"—residents. He first came to Shanghai as an engineer in the Government Transport Service, and afterwards was employed as chi engineer in iti the boats of local shipping, ce panies, more partcoularly the riv steamers of the China Steam Navigation Ca., Ld., and latterly, and until a period of four or five yea ago, when he retired from active service, was chief engineer of the Hoong On Steamship Co.'s str. Tehhsing. Mr. Morrison had been a member of the Marine Engineers' Institute, Shanghai, since 1878, and was one of the of both the Shanghai and Hankow Golf Clubs.
