​SAINTHILL. (Lieut., 1812. f-p., 27; h-p., 19.)
Richard Tillidge Sainthill, born 18 May, 1788, is eldest son of the late Nich. Sainthill, Esq., ​Master R.N.; and nephew of the late Commanders Rich. Sainthill and Robt. Tillidge, R.N.
This officer (whose name had been borne, in 1790-1, on the books of the Speedwell 8) embarked, 24 Feb. 1801, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Zealand 64, guard-ship at the Nore, Capt. Wm. Mitchell, with whom he continued until May, 1802. Joining next, in May, 1803, the Raisonnable 64, Capts. Wm. Hotham, Robt. Barton, and Josias Rowley, he took part, in that ship, in several attacks on the enemy’s batteries and flotilla on the coast of France, fought in Sir Robt. Calder’s action 22 July, 1805, and was present, in 1806, at the reduction of the Cape of Good Hope, the surrender of the French frigate 'Volontaire' of 46 guns, and the capture of Buenos Ayres. As Sub-Lieutenant of the Staunch gun-brig, Lieut.-Commander Benj. Street, to which vessel he was appointed 11 June, 1809, we find him, in Sept. 1810, contributing, near the Ile de Bourbon, to the recapture of the Africaine 38, and to the capture of the French frigate La Vénus, of 44 guns and 380 men, and her prize, the Ceylon 32. After acting for a short time as Lieutenant and Commander of the Staunch, he was nominated, 13 Oct. 1810, Flag-Lieutenant, in the Africaine, to Vice-Admiral Albemarle Bertie, under whom he united in the ensuing operations against the Mauritius and its dependencies. On the surrender of that island he was placed in superintendence, there, of the Signal Department; the duties attached to which he continued to discharge (assisting in the interim at the capture of two French frigates) until Sept. 1811. In the following Dec. he became Acting-Senior-Lieutenant of the Madagascar 38, Capt. Chas. Sullivan; and on 23 April, 1812, a few days after that ship had been paid off, he was officially advanced to his present rank. He next, from 27 Aug. 1812 until 24 Dec. 1815, served at Newfoundland and in the West Indies in the Muros 12, Capts. Jas. Aberdour, Thos. Saville Griffinhoofe, and Geo. Gosling; of which vessel he was Senior-Lieutenant at the reduction of Guadeloupe. He has been Superintendent of Signals in the island of Jersey since 3 Dec. 1833.

Aaron Tozer at the storming of a battery containing 4 long 24-pounders, 16-pounder, and a 13-inch mortar (the whole of which were destroyed) at Carri, to the westward of Marseilles, whence a tartan was at the same time brought out. The enemy on the occasion were strongly posted behind palisadoes, and stood their ground until the British were in the act of charging bayonets, when they turned and suffered a severe loss. The assailants had only 2 men killed and 1 wounded. Since 14 Dec. 1846, Lieut. Salkeld, who had not been employed since his promotion, has been in charge of a station in the Coast Guard. Agents – Messrs. Stilwell.

​SALMON. (Retired Commander, 1843. f-p., 16; h-p., 34.)
John Salmon entered the Navy, in Oct. 1797, as a Volunteer, on board the Galatea 32, Capt. Hon. Geo. Byng, in which frigate he served on the coast of Ireland until Dec. 1799, in the capacity of Midshipman. He was next, from Jan. 1800 until April, 1805, employed, chiefly as Master’s Mate, and Acting Master, in the Dromedary store-ship, Capt. Bridges Watkinson Taylor (under whom he was wrecked in the Bocca, off Trinidad, 10 Aug. 1800), Daphne 20, Capt. Rich. Matson, Cyane 18, Capt. Henry Matson, Éclair schooner, Lieut.-Commanders Kenneth Mackenzie, D. Callaway, Pollock, Wm. Carr, R. Sutton, Beckett, and Evelyn, and Centaur 74, Commodore Sir Sam. Hood, all on the West India station; where, on leaving the Centaur he was placed in command, with the rank of Acting-Lieutenant, of the Amboyna prison-ship. When Acting-Master of the Éclair, whose force did not exceed 12 18-pounder carronades and 60 men, he assisted, 5 Feb. 1804, in beating off and putting to flight the celebrated French privateer Grand Décidé, of 22 long 8-pounders and a complement, including 80 soldiers, of about 220 men, after a most gallant engagement of 45 minutes, productive to the British of a loss of not more than 1 man killed and 4 wounded. Their vessel, however, had her standing and running rigging cut to pieces, and her barricade, masts, and yards much damaged. In command of the Éclair’s cutter, manned with 11 volunteers, Mr. Salmon, on 5 of the following month, boarded (in the face of a heavy fire from a battery at the entrance of the harbour of Hayes, Guadeloupe, and from the vessel herself) and, after a short resistance of 10 minutes, carried the French privateer Rose of 1 long brass 8-pounder on a pivot and 49 men well armed and fully prepared. Of these 5 were killed and 10, including the Captain and 4 that jumped overboard, wounded – no casualty whatever occurring to the British, who, although in a dead calm and exposed to a fire of great guns and musketry from the shore, contrived, by dint of towing and sweeping, to carry off their prize. Towards the close of 1805 Mr. Salmon was removed from the Amboyna to the command, still with the rank of Acting-Lieutenant, of the Tobago schooner of 10 guns; in which vessel, after having been for some months employed in exchanging prisoners of war between the dépôts at Barbadoes, Grenada, and Guadeloupe, he was captured, 18 Oct. 1806, despite a brave resistance of an hour and a half, by the French privateer Général Ernest. On being restored to liberty, he was presented with a commission bearing date 24 June, 1807, and was appointed, in the course of the same month, to the Argus sloop, Capt. Jas. Stuart, on the Irish station, where he cruized until obliged, in Dec. 1810, to invalid. From 9 March, 1812, until 17 April, 1815, he was employed in the Impress service at Liverpool. He accepted the rank of Commander on the Retired List 10 April, 1843.

URSA MINOR (er'-sa mi'-nor)— THE LITTLE BEAR. (Face North.)
Location.—The two pointer stars in Ursa Major indicate the position of Polaris, the North Star, which represents the tip of the tail of the Little Bear, and the end of the handle of the "Little Dipper." In all ages of the world, Ursa Minor has been more universally observed and more carefully noticed than any other constellation, on account of the importance of the North Star.
Polaris is a little more than one and one half degrees from the true pole. Its light takes fifty years to reach us, A line joining (β) Cassiopeiæ, and Megres, in Ursa Major, will pass through Polaris.
Kochab, one of the guardian stars, is about 25 degrees distant from Benetnasch in Ursa Major, and about 24 degrees from Dubhe, in Ursa Major.
# A Field Guide to Jekyll Island/Introduction

INTRODUCTION
Along the coast of Georgia, a string of eight major barrier islands is separated from the mainland by an extensive system of salt marshes and sounds (Figure 2). The word barrier aptly defines the protective role the islands and their marshes play in shielding the mainland from destructive storm waves. Barrier islands form the majority of the beaches of the Atlantic and Gulf Coast states.
Unlike many of the developed barrier islands of the east coast, the islands of Georgia still retain much of their native wilderness. Approximately two-thirds of the islands with the best preserved habitats are designated for use as parks, wildlife refuges, research sites, and heritage preserves, but these are either inaccessible or have limited access. Of the four islands with access by causeways, three of them (Tybee, St. Simons, and Sea Island) have had much of their natural habitats altered through extensive development.
Jekyll Island was privately owned until the State of Georgia purchased it in 1947. Much of the island remains in its natural state, yet roads and a causeway make the natural areas readily accessible. Jekyll Island was selected for this study because, with its natural wilderness and its roadways, it is unique among the barrier islands of Georgia.
This guide provides an overview of the physical forces that create the characteristic shapes and dynamic changes of the Georgia barrier islands. The patterns of plant and animal communities residing on the beaches, salt marshes, forests, and sloughs (fresh and brackish water ponds) are explored. The second half of the guide presents detailed descriptions of the habitats and living communities found in each of 11 natural areas on Jekyll Island (depicted on the map of Jekyll Island, Figure 9). Illustrations identifying over 90 of the more common plants and invertebrates of Jekyll and a list of books and field guides pertinent to this region are presented in the Appendices.
This publication is intended for anyone interested in learning more about the natural history of the Georgia islands. It is hoped that the information here will help educators to feel more at ease with this area and to use the natural resources of Jekyll to enrich their class programs. Teachers are invited to request further assistance in organizing field studies and planning coastal-related curricula.
By being better informed on the nature and dynamics of barrier islands, we and future generations will be able to make better decisions regarding preservation of these serenely beautiful islands.

URSA MAJOR (er'sa mā'-jor)—THE GREAT BEAR. (Face North.)
Location.—Ursa Major is probably the best known of the constellations, and in this work I presuppose that the reader is familiar with its position in the heavens. It is one of the most noted and conspicuous constellations in the northern hemisphere, and is readily and unmistakably distinguished from all others by means of a remarkable cluster of seven bright stars in the northern heavens, forming what is familiarly termed "the Dipper."
The stars (α) and (β) are called the pointers, because they always point toward Polaris, the Pole Star, 28 3/4 degrees distant from (α).
Alioth is very nearly opposite Shedir in Cassiopeia, and at an equal distance from the Pole. The same can be said of Megres, in Ursa Major, and Caph, in Cassiopeia.
The star (ο) is at the tip of the Bear's nose. A clearly defined semicircle begins at (ο) and ends in the pair (ι) and (κ) at the extremity of the Bear's right fore paw. This group of stars resembles a sickle. Note little Alcor close to Mizar. This star was used by the Arabs as a test of good eyesight. Mizar and Alcor are known as the horse and his rider.
Note also a faint star near (α) in direction of (β). This plate shows the Bear lying on his back, his feet projected up the sky; three conspicuous pairs of stars represent three of his four feet.
