r was appointed, and was found dead in the deck-house
which had already proved fatal to the other two. _The name of that ship
was "The Armadale."_ And the proceedings at the Inquest proved that the
three men had been all suffocated _by sleeping in poisoned air_!

I am indebted for these particulars to the kindness of the reporters at
Liverpool, who sent me their statement of the facts. The case found its
way into most of the newspapers. It was noticed--to give two instances
in which I can cite the dates--in the _Times_ of November 30th, 1865,
and was more fully described in the _Daily News_ of November 28th, in
the same year.

Before taking leave of "Armadale," I may perhaps be allowed to mention,
for the benefit of any readers who may be curious on such points, that
the "Norfolk Broads" are here described after personal investigation
of them. In this, as in other cases, I have spared no pains to instruct
myself on matters of fact. Wherever the story touches on questions
connected with Law, Medicine, or Chemistry, it has been submitted before
publication to the experience of professional men. The kindness of a
friend supplied me with a plan of the doctor's apparatus, and I saw the
chemical ingredients at work before I ventured on describing the action
of them in the closing scenes of this book.
