Newcastle was hoisted half-mast hig h—the bells of the churches tolled the knell of death—and the shops in Gateshead , South Shields , Durham , and Sunderland , ( in the latter town closed in pursuance of a numerously signed requisition , addressed to the Mayor , ) told a tale of affection and respect which the tongue could not have uttered half so truly or so well .
