Abstract
ALTHOUGH Sir Edward Thorpe had been unwell for £*- some considerable time, yet his well-known energy and virility were so remarkable that it came as a shock to his many friends to learn that he had passed away on Monday, February 23, at his beautiful Devonshire home by the sea, Whinfield, Salcombe. It was an ideal residence in his retirement, for he could there enjoy his favourite relaxation of yachting, and take any one of his three yachts out to sea for a sail just as readily as taking a walk, which the hilly roads and paths of South Devon had latterly rendered a matter of difficulty for him.
