... It was Mr. Horation Tileston of the house of Wm. Tileston & Co. who was on board, not William as was stated yesterday. Mr. H. Tileston was the younger brother of the firm. He carried with him books, papers, and promissory notes, embracing debts in the amount of $150,900, due them in the south, which he took for collection. Every one of these assests is irrecoverably lost. ...

"Mr. Wm. H. Tileston of New York was going south on a business tour, for the house with which he was connected. He had with him business notes for collection amounting to upwards of one hundred thousaid dollars. He was a young man of much promise, and greatly beloved by all who knew him."
