On the 28th, the remains of our deceased shipmates were committed to the earth, with every solemnity that so mournful an occasion demanded.  They were interred in one grave, on a rising ground a few hundred yards from the sea to the northeastward of the ships.  A handsome tomb of stone and mortar was built over the spot, having at one end a stone let in, with the usual information engraved on it.  The sides were plastered with a kind of viscous clay found in one of the ponds, and the top covered with tufts of the purple saxifrage.  The duties of the ships now permitting it, Captain Lyon employed his men in building a similar tomb over the grave of Pringle.
