John Williams, the master of the China Navigation Company's Chingtu, which traded between Australia and the Far East, contracted bronchitis on 7 September but stayed with his ship when it departed for China. Once clear of Sydney Heads he retired to his cabin and his condition worsened. He died on 15 August while the vessel was off Moreton Bay. Since he had expressed a wish to be buried on an island, when the vessel arrived among the Cumberland Islands he was buried at Brampton Island. On a subsequent voyage the crew of Chingtu erected a marble cross over the grave.
