Madely, so named after his godfather, the esteemed former Vicar of
Horncastle, adopted the medical profession and went out to India, where
he became known as a keen sportsman among big game; a group of two tigers
shot by him, and stuffed by Ward the great taxidermist, being exhibited
in the Crystal Palace several years ago.

Of the scholars at the school, under Dr. Smith, we recall a few names, as
samples of the class of pupils whom he received. There were three
Sandwiths, Humphrey, Godfrey, and Henry, who were his nephews on his
wife's side. Humphrey became a surgeon, and having a taste for foreign
travel, went out to Constantinople to practice there. Having good
introductions he was kindly received by Sir Stratford Canning, the
English Ambassador, and making the acquaintance of Layard, he was invited
to travel with him to Mecca, Mosul, and Nineveh, at two of which places
excavations were conducted; as Hakim, or Doctor, he was visited by crowds
of Arabs, suffering from various ailments; and his quinine wrought
wonderful cures among them. When at home he sometimes surprised his
friends by suddenly appearing among them dressed in Arab costume. In
1855 he was at the famous siege of Kars, under General Fenwick Williams;
when a force of 15,000 English were shut in by an army of 50,000
Russians. The English had three months' provisions and three days'
ammunition; they suffered greatly from cholera, and after five months
surrendered, only when overcome by famine. Humphrey wrote a history of
the siege.

Of Godfrey we remember little; Henry graduated at Cambridge, took Holy
Orders and became Vicar of Thorpe Salvin, near Worksop. There were three
Inveraritys, Duncan, Henry, and William; the first of these went out to
India, and became a Judge in the Supreme Sudder Court. Henry devoted
himself to yachting, and died early. William held a commission in a
Highland Regiment of foot. Roseville Brackenbury, whose father, a former
Peninsular officer, and member of an old Lincolnshire family, resided
temporarily at Horncastle, in order to place his son under Dr. Smith,
entered the East India Company's service, in the Bengal Presidency.

There were three Buchanans, sons of an old Indian officer, Major
Buchanan, a Scotchman, but residing in Maida Vale, London. These were
James, Alexander, and Robert. James was a dashing, chivalrous,
high-spirited fellow, who took service in a Madras regiment of cavalry;
his brother "Alick" w
