IT IS likely that body number 170 is that of Hutchinson. It was buried at sea.
The estimated age was 25, and the corpse had keys marked "Carpenter's locker", with a wood rule, silver watch and chain.
The Halifax Coroner's records note: "PROBABLY CARPENTER'S MATE," and Hutchinson's name appears on the crew list as a joiner, just before that of his senior colleague John Maxwell, the ship's carpenter.
