Our readers will be sorry to hear of the sudden death of Mr Irvine, who was for some time mate of the s.s. Waitaki, and lately filled the same office on board the s.s. Star of the South. He, having felt ill, sought medical advice, and afterwards took np his quarters at Gordon's Temperance Hotel, and the vessel to which he belonged left port without him. He died last evening as Mr. Gordon was applying a mustard plaster to his chest. -Oamaru Mail, 28/8/1878.
The post mortem inquiry that was held on the body of Mr Irvine, late master of the steamer Star of the South, who died suddenly at Gordon's Temperance Hotel on Wednesday, the 28th August, returned a verdict of death from heart disease in accordance with the evidence of the surgical operator, Dr DeLautour. -Timaru Herald, 6/9/1878.
