Bonus Clue

Sacred to the memory of
Captain William Thornton Bate R.N.
Who was killed under the walls of canton
At the storming of the city on December 29 th 1857
In the 37 th year of his age

His distinguished career of professional service
The arduous duties performed in his survey of the adjoining seas
The Christian virtues and consistent piety
Which adorned his private character
And the amiable qualities of disposition which endeared him
To a large circle of friends
Combined in rendering his untimely death the occasion
Of universal mourning amoung the foreign community in China
This monument was erected by public subscription
In testimony of respect and affection for his memory
To me to live is Christ and to die is gain
Philippians chapter 1 verse 21.
Under the walls of the city in the large circle.

UNDER THE WALLS OF THE CITY IN THE LARGE CIRCLE
