here lie the mortal remains of

captain william pryce cumby r.n. cb. of h.m. yacht

royal sovereign and captain superintendent of pembroke

dockyard, an officer whose zeal and professional services

at trafalgar and st. domingo deserved and received

the approbation of his country. his active kindness

in promoting the welfare of others procured him

the affectionate regard of all who knew him.

the loss of one so kind and good has taught his

relations and friends how vain is every consolation

but that afforded by religion, by christian

submission, by christian hope.
