Sacred to the memory of Captain Bird Allen R.N. who in the 38th year of his age died at Fernando Po 25th October 1841 whilst in command of H.M.S. Soudan on an expedition into the interior of Africa, designed to promote the introduction of Christianity and civilization into that country. His friends have erected this tablet to record their strong sense of his Christian excellence and professional talents and to testify their deep regret for his loss, and that of his brave companions who with him fell victims to the climate of the River Niger. 'Mark the perfect man and behold the upright; for the end of that man is peace'. Psalm 37 V 37

BIRD ALLEN
