Inscriptions.
Deposited in the Mariners' Receiving Tomb, EMILY, Wife of Rev. Phineas Stow, of Boston, who suddenly departed this life May 18, 1851, aged 42 years.
The tribute of respect paid to the departed by seamen and friends is very consoling to the bereaved husband and his motherless daughter. Her devotion to the welfare of mariners gave her the appro- priate appellation of THE SAILOR'S FRIEND. Her excellent judgment made her a safe adviser in temporal and spiritual things. Cheerfulness and frankness were prominent features in her character. Monuments more durable than marble or brass are erected to her mem- ory in loving hearts. "She rests from her labors." " Her sun went down while it was yet day." No parting kiss, no dying words to cheer, But years of love, enshrined in memory dear, Shall wake devotion on affection's shrine, While musing on thy life and theme divine. "Not lost, but gone before."

The remains of these four Seamen have also been deposited in the Mariners' Tomb.
