In January, 1851, through the kindness of a friend, he made a voyage to Chagres, and another to Liverpool.
But he returned from the last of these voyages enfeebled by the roughness of the passage; and his strength gradually declined, until the 9th of August, 1851, seven years after his return to America, when he died at Reading, Massachusetts, his native place, in the sixty-second year of his age.

By his son, Rev.Daniel H.
Temple, Boston, 1855.
A daughter of Dr.Hawes accompanied him on his voyage to Smyrna as the wife of Mr.Van Lennep, but was permitted only to enter upon the work to which she had devoted herself in Asia.

She died at Constantinople of fever, within less than a year from the time of her embarkation.

The health of Mrs.Benjamin was such as to oblige her and her husband to return home.
