PECULIAR OBSEQUIES.
Remarkable Disposal of the Remains of
a London Shipowner.
. Considerable stir has been occasioned
In London and Liverpool, says The Mar
iner, by the strange obsequies in con
nection with the death of Mr. James
Park, which was announced recently.
The deceased gentleman was a. well
known and prominent shipowner and
was managing director of the Shaw,
Savlll and Albion line of steamers, In
addition to owning sailing ships. - By
his will the deceased ordered that hiH
body should be cremated at Woking In
the usual manner, and that his bkIiok
should be afterwards collected and en-
cloned In a glass bottle and handed over
to the captain of tho first of the de
ceased's saidlng ships leaving Loudon.
When the vessel has arrived off St.
Catherine's Point, Isle of Wight, the
course is to be altered to due north,
magnetic, so that the bow may point
to his native place. The captain Is then
to break the bottle and scatter tho
ashes to the four winds of heaven. It
was at first rumored that one of the
captains of the Shaw-Savlll Line would
perform this gruesome task, but It now
appears that the duty will be under
taken by the first sailing ship captain
In the employ of the deceased who
shall sail first.
