From the Kent Herald, 23 September 1824.

About 4 o'clock on Monday morning, a seaman belonging to one of the bomb ships lying in the Nore, fell from one of the attic windows of the "Lower White Horse" public house at Sheerness, into the street, where he was found by a soldier and a seaman of the Preventative service, with his collar bone broken, and his body otherwise much mangled. Surgical aid was immediately procured, and the poor man was conveyed to the military hospital at Sheerness. It is supposed that he got out of the window in his sleep; or perhaps he might have retired a little too fresh. He died the following morning.
