This officer is the son of a clergyman, formerly resident at St. Austle, in Cornwall. He received his first commission in 1793; had the good fortune to be senior Lieutenant of the Mars 74, in the glorious battle off Cape Trafalgar; and having succeeded to the command of that ship on the death of Captain George Duff, who fell during the conflict^[1], was promoted to post rank on the first day of the following year (1806). He is married, and has a large family.
