statement is in the fact that the whole ship refused to even draw it from the cooks. It was neither cleaned nor scaled & was disgusting, A burial service was held over a plate of the fish that had a cross in the centre & a tablet marked. Born 1864 died 1870 AD. First of all the procession, dead marched it to opposite the officers quarters & there knelt down & taking off their hats they sang

For poor old Jeff has gone to rest
We know that he is free
Disturb him not but let him rest
Way down in Tennessee
The procession then rose & holding the plate of "Fish" up sang

Stand up Stand up for Jesus & so on
A prayer was then offered
