Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed beauty without vanity, strength without Insolence, courage without ferocity, and all the virtues of man without his vices. This praise, which would be unmeaning flattery If inscribed over human ashes, Is but a just tribute to the memory of "Boatswain," a dog who was born at Newfoundland, May, 1803, and died at Newstead Abbey Nov. 18, 1808.
