September 13, 1875. 
On this date the expedition had the misfortune to lose Dr. Rudolf von Willemoes- 
Suhm, one of the naturalists on the Civilian Scientific Staff, who died after a short illness 
from erysipelas. This sad circumstance cast a shade of melancholy over the ship, for 
Dr. von Willemoes-Suhm had won the respect of everyone on board, by his zealous 
attention to work, and by his readiness to put up with the many inconveniences 
inseparable from life on board ship, where the irksomeness of discipline can never be 
relaxed (for further particulars as to the career of Dr. von Willemoes-Suhm, see Narr. 
Chall. Exp., vol. i. pp. 769-771). 
Station 275 (Sounding 417), Sandwich Islands to Tahiti (see Chart 38 and Station 275, 
Diagram 19).
