THE IATEBKO . CAPT . PATRICK DEUCHAR , B . N .
In the death of Bro . Patrick Douclinr , which took place at Edinburgh on the Uth inst ., tho Ancient Lodge of Edinburgh , No . 1 , has lost its oldest member—one of whom it may truly be said that lie was a Pillar of tho Craft , venerable for age , honourable for service , and rich in private virtues and graces . His removal has also rendered vacant the office of Grand Director of
Ceremonies in the Grand Lodge of Scotland , which our deceased brother has held since 18-1-9 . Captain Deuchar was one of six brothers—the celebrated Craftsman , Alexander Deuchar , being another—all members of No . 1 . At the period of his initiation ( December 5 th , 1800 ) , he was a midshipman on board H . M . S . Seahorse , and subsequently fought under Nelson at Trafalgar , and
served also in the Walcheren expedition . He left the navy shortly after the downfall of Napoleon , and was as a shipmaster engaged for many yaars in the West India trade . On retiring into private life he took a lively interest in the business of his mother-lodge , to nearly every office iu which it was his privilege to be elected . He has now , full of years aud honours , at the ripe age of 84 , joined the " silent lodge , " leaving behind him a name that will long be held in affectionate remeimbrance by the sons of St . Mary ' s Chapel .
