     Obituary

     Mr. Hugh Montague Mallet, British Consul and Vice-Consul in Rosario for a period totalling thirty-two years, who must have been one of the oldest Englishmen in this country, passed away early yesterday morning in this city at the venerable age of eighty-eight.
       Born in Bath in July 1855, the late Mr. Mallet was the eldest son of the late Mr. and Mrs Hugh Mallet, his father being H.M. Consul in Buenos Aires before him and his maternal grandfather the late Ven. Henry Bathurst, Archdeacon of Norwich. He was educated in England, and as a young man went out to Colon, Panama as an agent for the Royal Steam Packet Co.
        When his father was appointed Consul-General in Buenos Aires in 1880, he was asked to take charge of the Vice-Consulate in Rosario, his appointment dating from January 19, 1881. Prior to that, Mr. Mallet had been British Vice-Consul in Columbia, where in 1876 he married Srta. Octavia Durango, who predeceased him.
       After a period as Acting Consul-General in Buenos Aires during 1889, the late Mr. Mallet returned to Rosario, where he was promoted in 1889 to British Consul, a post he held until he retired in 1913.
        At one time he was named British Consul-General in Rio de Janeiro, a post he did not accept on account of the yellow fever then prevalent in that city.
      Two of Mr. Mallet's brothers, Sir Claude Coventry Mallet, H.B.M. Minister in Uruguay from 1919 to 1925, and Charge d'Affaires in this city between 1919 and 1920, and Special Ambassador on the occasion of the inauguration of the President of the Argentine Republic in 1922, and Mr. Cecil Constine Mallet, who was chairman and director of a number of important British companies operating in Argentina, both died in London about a year ago, the third, the late Mr. Basil Mallet, being a friend of one of the founders of "The Standard", Mr. E.T. Mulhall.
        Except for an occasional trip to the old country, the late Mr. Mallet had lived in Argentina since 1881, but he was always very proud of being an Englishman.
        He leaves six sons, Henry, Octavio, Hugh, Wilfred, Oscar, and Claudio, and a daughter, Mrs. Flora Gotthardt, as well as a great many grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren.
        The funeral will take place this morning, in the British section of the Chacarita Cemetery, where the Rev. Canon B.J. Townsend will conduct the burial service.
