Mr. Rowland, who came of an old English family, well known in naval circles, was 66 years of age, having been born in 1859, at Coulsden, in the county of Surrey, England.

Mr. Rowland had been freely described in the pithy, but deep meaning phase, " an old English gentleman", courteous to all, he appealed to everyone who had the pleasure of his company, urbane, and profoundly sincere, a man of good breeding and superior education, yet, with it all, a modest, even retiring disposition...
