The late Captain Brome

Abstract

A SHORT time since I announced in your columns the decease of Captain Fred. Brome, late of Gibraltar, and well known to many of your geological readers for his great and successful labours in the exploration of the caves and fissures of the Rock. I then stated that Captain Brome had left a widow and eight children, wholly unprovided for; and this is literally the case. My object in this communication is to state that his numerous and warm friends in Gibraltar, and at Weedon where he died, have already commenced the collection of a fund for the relief and maintenance of his helpless widow and family, and to request that you will allow me space to say, that I shall be happy to receive and forward any contributions in aid of this fund.
