He is never more to be met again where on quiet days the 

 waves murmur and ripple forward to their end, or where on 

 wild ones they surge and thunder on the beach. No more will 

 he listen to the cries of the sea fowl, nor watch for the visitors 

 from overseas, he will look no more down Bempton, Buckton 

 and Speeton cliffs when next summer comes, but he will be 

 found again in the pages of his book. Down Time's stream 

 runs the influence of a brave example and of a happy life. 

 He gave to the living and bequeathed to the unborn a better 

 knowledge of, and a greater joy in all our Yorkshire birds 

 from the rarest to the most familiar of " God's jocund lyttel 

 fowles." Alfred E. Pease,
