Biography
English colonial administrator from Willan, Hertfordshire, educated at Cambridge University, who was employed as a young man by the Rajah of Sarawak (1884) as a Sarawak cadet. He became Officer-in-Charge of the Baram District (1888), Resident of Baram (1891), a member of the Supreme Council and a Judge of the Supreme Court (1904) before retiring in 1907. He was the nephew of Right Rev. G.F. Hose, Anglican Bishop of Singapore, Labuan & Sarawak (1879-1909), who doubtless influenced his career in Sarawak. Like his uncle and cousins, C. Hose collected plants mainly in Sarawak but was also an ethnographer of the native tribes of Borneo, published on mammals and was a keen amateur photographer. An adventurer, together with Spenser St John he made an attempt on Gunung Mulu but the peak of this mountain was not reached until after his death. Hose also mapped the surface oil deposits for what would later become the Miri Field. During his residency at Baram he had a fort built as a measure to control rebellions. The building, also serving as the Resident's house and known as Fort Hose, was later turned into the Baram District Museum.
