​LYONS. (Captain, 1830. f-p., 17; h-p., 32.)
John Lyons is brother of Capt. Sir Edm. Lyons, Bart., G.C.B., K.C.H.
This officer entered the Navy, 20 Sept. 1798, as Midshipman, on board the St. George 98, Capts. John Holloway, Sampson Edwards, Henry Nichols, and Wm. Grenville Lobb; in which ship, bearing the flag for some time of Admirals Lord Nelson and Chas. Morice Pole, he bore a part (previously to visiting the Mediterranean) in the action off Copenhagen 2 April, 1801. He served during the peace of Amiens, on the West India and Home stations, in the Edgar 74, Capt. Robt. Waller Otway, Childers sloop, Capt. Delafons, and Africaine 38, Capt. Thos. Manby; and on the renewal of hostilities in 1803 he joined the Magnificent 74, Capt. Wm. Henry Jervis, under whom, while attached to the in-shore squadron off Brest, he was wrecked, on the Black Rocks, in March, 1804. Being received, in the following Sept. (after three months’ servitude with Capt. Jervis on board the Tonnant 80), into the Victory 100, flag-ship of Lord Nelson, he was afforded an opportunity, 21 Oct. 1805, of sharing in the glories of Trafalgar. He was in consequence promoted, while with Lord Collingwood in the Queen 98, to the rank of Lieutenant, 24 Dec. in the same year; and he was afterwards appointed – 17 Feb. 1806, to the Eagle 74, Capt. Chas. Rowley, in which ship, we understand, he witnessed the reduction of the island of Capri – 18 Aug. 1806, to the Queen 98, Capt. Fras. Pender, stationed off Cadiz – 18 June, 1807, to the Montagu 74, Capts. Robt. Waller Otway and Rich. Hussey Moubray, again on the Mediterranean station, where he assisted at the evacuation of Scylla in the winter of 1807, and commanded a detachment of seamen at the reduction of Santa Maura in April, 1810 – 23 Feb. and 1 Sept. 1811, to the Repulse 74, Capt.

John Davis, which vessel, attached to the force on the Plymouth station, his health obliged him to leave in the ensuing Aug. – and, 29 Jan. 1814, to the Ville de Paris 110, bearing the flag in the Channel of Sir Harry Burrard Neale. He attained the rank of Commander 27 June in the latter year; and from 26 Aug. 1828 until posted, 22 July, 1830, was employed in that capacity at the Cape of Good Hope on board the Jaseur 18. He has since been on half-pay.

​LYS. (Lieutenant, 1818. f-p., 12; h-p., 25.)
Matthew Lys entered the Royal Naval College 20 Oct. 1810; and embarked, 24 June, 1812, as A.B. on board the Nereus 36, Capt. Peter Heywood. With that officer he continued to serve in the Montagu 74, on the South American and Home stations until Nov. 1814; assisting as Midshipman, during the latter year, in the conveyance of the British army from Bordeaux to England, and particularly in the grand naval review held at Spithead. He then sailed for the East Indies in the Cornwallis 74, flag-ship of Sir Geo. Burlton; and on his return to England in 1816 in the Theban 36, Capt. Sam. Leslie, joined the Minden 74, Capt. Wm. Paterson. After assisting at the bombardment of Algiers he again proceeded to India, where, in March, 1817, he was nominated by Sir Rich. King Acting-Lieutenant of the Melville 74, Capt. Henry Chas.

​LYNE. (Retired Captain, 1840. f-p., 16; h-p., 45.)
Thomas Lyne was born 17 Nov. 1768, at Ringwood.
This officer entered the Navy, 8 April, 1786, on board the Thisbe 28, Capts. Isaac Coffin and Sam. Hood, stationed at Halifax; where, from 1789 until 1791, he served, as Midshipman, in the Dido 28, Capt. Edw. Buller. After an attachment for short periods to various ships, he sailed for the Mediterranean in the Alcide 74, Capt. Robt. Linzee, and was present at the occupation of Toulon; while in command of a gun-boat at which place he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant 12 Oct. 1793. His succeeding appointments were – 29 Dec. in the latter year, for seven months, to the Gorgon, Capt. Jas. Wallis, also in the Mediterranean – 16 Dec. 1794, to the Culloden 74, Capt. Thos. Troubridge, under whom he bore a part in the actions of 13 July, 1795, and 14 Feb. 1797, off the Hyeres islands and Cape St. Vincent – and, 15 March, 1797, as Senior, to the Argo 44, Capt. Jas. Bowen. In Nov. 1798 he was present in the latter ship at the reduction of Minorca; and on 6 Feb. 1799 he assisted in taking the Spanish frigate Santa Teresa of 42 guns and 530 men, including 250 soldiers. During the chase which preceded the surrender of the enemy Mr. Lyne, as officially declared by his Captain, displayed great merit in keeping sight, and observing the different shifts, of the enemy, whereby great advantage accrued to the Argo. Much commendation was also bestowed on his professional skill and great exertions, after possession had been taken of the prize, in saving the tottering mast from tumbling overboard. The Argo, it appears, subsequently brought Earl St. Vincent home from the Mediterranean, conveyed nine homeward-bound Indiamen from St. Helena, and was for some time employed on the coast of Africa. Her First-Lieutenant attained the rank of Commander 29 April, 1802; and accepted that of Captain, on the Retired List, 10 Sept. 1840.

​LYON. (Lieut., 1814. f-p., 20; h-p., 22.)
Francis Lyon was born 24 Aug. 1794. This officer entered the Navy, 1 July, 1805, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Romulus frigate, armée en flûte, Capt. Thos. Burton, stationed in the Channel; and from Aug. 1806, until wrecked on Sable Island 3 Aug. 1812, was employed in the West Indies and on the coast of America, nearly the whole time as Midshipman, in the Emulous 18, Capts. Gustavus Stupart and Wm. Howe Mulcaster. He assisted, during that period, in beating off, when in the neighbourhood of Puerto Rico, 9 Nov. 1809, a French frigate mounting 32 guns, after an action, fought within pistol-shot, of an hour and 40 minutes, in which the Emulous was cut to pieces, and sustained a loss of 10 killed and 20 wounded; and, on 26 Aug. 1811, and 30 July, 1812, he contributed to the capture of L’Adèle French letter-of-marque, adon with cotton, and the Gossamer American privateer of 14 guns and 100 men. During the whole term of Capt. Mulcaster’s command, a period of nearly two years, he was in constant charge of a watch, and was intrusted with the conduct into port of every prize of the least value. On the occurrence of the catastrophe above alluded to, he was turned over with his Captain to the Nautilus brig, in which vessel, it appears, he cruized with great activity and success. In April 1813, being then Master’s Mate, although performing the duties of Lieutenant, of the Statira 38, Capt. Hassard Stackpoole, we find him commanding one of the boats of a squadron, containing 105 men, under the orders of Lieut. Jas. Polkinghorne, at the dashing capture, 15 miles up the Rappahannock river, of four schooners, carrying in the whole 31 guns and 219 men, an exploit which was productive of a loss to the British of 2 killed and 11 wounded, and to the enemy of 6 killed and 10 wounded. After serving for a few months in the St. Domingo 74, flag-ship of Sir John Borlase Warren, and Prince Regent 56, bearing the broad pendant of Sir Jas. Lucas Yeo on Lake Ontario, he was, in June, 1814, nominated, at the earnest recommendation of his friend Capt. Mulcaster, Acting-Lieutenant of the Princess Charlotte 42, commanded at first by that gallant officer, and next by Capts. Edw. Collier and Rich. O’Conor, also on the Canadian station; where, being confirmed by a commission dated 18 of the following Nov., he continued employed, in the same ship and the Psyche 32, Capt. Peter Fisher (participating in the mean while in much valuable and important service), until ordered home, in July, 1815, in the Calliope 10, Capt. Alex. Maconochie. From the latter date, unable to procure an appointment, Lieut. Lyon remained on half-pay until 1837; since 8 Feb. in which year he has been in command of a station in the Coast Guard.
He married, 17 Feb. 1817, Miss Eliza Fawcett, of Portarlington, and by that lady has issue five children.

John Osborn. While in that ship, to which he was confirmed 15 Jan. 1802, we find him commanding a boat at the destruction of a vessel under the enemy’s forts on the Isle of France. On 19 March and 26 May, 1805, Mr. Lye successively assumed the acting-command of the Cornwallis 44, and Rattlesnake 18; and on 22 May, 1806 (having been officially appointed to the latter vessel on 31 of the preceding Jan.), he was posted into the Bombay, alias Ceylon, 32. Removing, in April, 1810, to the Doris 36, he was intrusted, in the course of that year, with the conduct of two expeditions that sailed from Madras and Bombay for the Mauritius and Bourbon; and he afterwarde, in Dec. 1810 and Sept. 1811, took part in the operations which led to the reduction of the islands of France and Java. On the former occasion he commanded a division of boats at the landing of the army. At Java he had charge, at first, of a small blockading squadron. After its subjugation he was for some time Senior officer at Batavia. He returned to England with Sir Sam. Hood’s despatches (having been upwards of 13 years absent on the Cape of Good Hope and East India stations), and was paid off in Dec. 1812. The latter was Capt. Lye’s last appointment.
