An inquest stated: At the Old Mole Head yesterday afternoon an inquest was held on the body of John Emerson, the Master of the British steamship Northwaite, now lying in the Bay.

It appears from the evidence given that on Sunday last, at about noon, as the deceased was holding on with his left hand to a stanchion which was near the rail that had been unshipped, giving the details of the voyage to the examining officer, he apparently overbalanced himself and fell overboard, striking the rail of the examination steamer, which was alongside and afterwards falling between the two vessels. He was picked up almost at once, and Dr. Heiron of the S.S. Avon and Dr. Oman the Port Surgeon, arrived very soon after. Although everything possible was done for the unfortunate Master, he expired at 4:30 pm.

The Jury returned a verdict of “Died from internal hemorrhage and shock” due to an accidental fall from the deck of the British steamer Northwaite, on to the deck of H.M.S. Crocodile and then into the sea.

He is buried in Gibraltar.³
