4 p.m. -- Giant Blunderbore lies in a hopeless state . He has again disregarded medical advice , and eaten solid food . Dr Smith is still in attendance . 8 p.m. -- It is with the deepest regret that we have to announce the death of our esteemed patron Giant Blunderbore , which took place suddenly this evening , after a somewhat painful operation . Details are not yet forthcoming ; but we expect to issue an extra double number to-morrow , with a coloured photograph of the deceased . As only a limited number will be printed , copies should be ordered early . The attention of advertisers is drawn to the present unusual opportunity .
