Abstract
THE death is announced of William Froude, F.R.S., a name familiar to our readers in connection with experiments on wave-resistances and the form of ships. Mr. Froude, who had long been in weak health, left England in November last year, in H.M.S. Boadicea, for a holiday cruise to the Cape, and he died from dysentery on the 4th inst., at Simon's Town. We defer further notice of Mr. Fronde's life and work till next week.
