HENRY SHIFFNER, Esq. A Magistrate for the County of Sussex. [Post-Captain of 1819.]
Eldest surviving son of Sir George Shiffner, Bart. M.P. by Mary, only daughter and heiress of Sir John Bridger, of Coombe Place, Lewes, Knt..
This officer was born, Nov. 4, 1789, and educated at the Royal Academy, Portsmouth, from whence he joined the Thetis frigate. Captain (now Rear-Admiral) William Hall Cage, in 1805. His promotion to the rank of lieutenant took place Feb. 10, 1809; on which occasion he was appointed to the Trusty, of 50 guns. In the following month, he was removed to the Owen Glendower 36, Captain William Selby, under whom he assisted at the capture of the island of Anholt, May 18th following. We subsequently find him in the same ship, on the East India station, where he continued under the command of Captain Brian Hodgson, until Nov. 1814; when he received a commission from England, dated Feb. 22nd, ​promoting him to the command of the Sphynx sloop, then building at Bombay: he returned home, on admiralty leave, in the year 1815. His subsequent appointments were, Jan. 6, 1818, to the Drake of 10 guns, fitting for the Newfoundland station; May 30, 1819, to the Carnation 18; and, Sept. 11th following, to the Egeria 26, at St. John’s. He obtained post-rank Nov. 10th in the latter year; and paid off the Egeria Jan. 5, 1820.
Captain Shiffner married, July 9, 1825, Emily, second daughter of the late Thomas Brooke, of Church Minshull, Cheshire, Esq. His eldest brother, John Bridger Shiffner, a captain in the 3rd regiment of foot guards, was mortally wounded at the sortie from Bayonne, April 14, 1814, and died the following day: he has another brother, George, in holy orders; and one of his sisters, Frances, is married to the Rev. C. E. Keene.

# Royal Naval Biography/Sherer, Joseph

Layout 2
JOSEPH SHERER, Esq. [Commander.]
We first find serving under Captain George Francis Lyon, in the Hecla discovery ship, on a voyage to the Arctic regions, in 1821, 2, and 3. He was made a lieutenant during his absence from England, by commission dated Dec. 26th, 1822; and advanced to his present rank, Dec. 30th, 1829, for his activity while commanding the Monkey schooner, on the West India station, where, within eight months, he captured three large vessels, bound to Cuba, having on board 743 slaves.
The Monkey was a vessel of only 75 tons, mounting one long 12-pounder on a pivot, with a complement of twenty-six men. One of her prizes was the brig Midas, belonging to Havannah, of 360 tons, mounting four long 18-pounders, and four medium 12-pounders, with a crew of fifty-seven men: she was heavier rigged than a British 10-gun brig; the boom of her fore-and-aft mainsail was as long as the Monkey altogether. The following account of her capture was transmitted to us in 1829:–
“On the 27th June, about 9 a.m., on rounding the Beminis from the southward. Lieutenant Sherer discovered a brig at anchor on the bank, distant about six or seven miles, with her top-sail yards at the mast heads, and other suspicious appearances. On seeing the Monkey approach, she weighed and stood off and on under easy sail, apparently undecided how to act. When the schooner got within about three miles of her, she again anchored, with a spring on her cable, keeping her top-sails set, with the yards slung and sheets stoppered. There being but little wind, a considerable time elapsed before the Monkey got within point-blank range, when the brig let fly an ill-directed broadside, which was not returned until the schooner got near enough to make every shot tell. At the expiration of half an hour, part of the slaver’s crew hailed to say they had struck, whilst the remainder kept up a fire of musketry from the forecastle. Three or four more discharges of grape and canister settled the business, and all resistance ceased. She proved to be from the river Bonny, with four hundred slaves on board, of whom two hundred and fifty-one perished within nine weeks after her capture. On her passage from the African coast, one hundred and fifty-seven of her original cargo ​had died of small-pox. The Midas had one of her crew killed, and three wounded; the Monkey not a man hurt; but she, as well as her antagonist, suffered greatly in the hull and rigging. Three English sailors, formerly belonging to a Liverpool vessel wrecked on the above coast, were found in arms on board the slaver, sent home, tried for piracy at the Old Bailey, and condemned to death, but had their sentences commuted to transportation for life.”
Commander Sherer was appointed to the coast guard service at Lymington, Feb. 26th, 1831; and removed to the Weymouth district in Oct. 1832.
# Response to We the People Petition on the Sea of Japan Naming Issue

* information about this edition.
* sister projects: Wikidata item.
Thank you for using the "We the People" platform to express your views on the usage of the term "Sea of Japan."
It is longstanding United States policy to refer to each sea or ocean by a single name. This policy applies to all seas, including those bordered by multiple countries that may each have their own names for such bodies of water. Concerning the body of water between the Japanese archipelago and the Korean peninsula, longstanding U.S. policy is to refer to it as the "Sea of Japan." We are aware the Republic of Korea refers to the body of water as the "East Sea," and the United States is not asking the Republic of Korea to change its nomenclature. U.S. usage of the "Sea of Japan" in no way implies an opinion regarding any issue related to sovereignty.
We understand that this naming issue is an important and sensitive one for both the Republic of Korea and Japan. I assure you the United States remains committed to our deep and indispensable alliances with the Republic of Korea and Japan, relationships based on shared values and mutual trust. We will continue to work with the Republic of Korea and Japan to address regional and global challenges together.

# Responsibilities/A Coat

A COAT
I made my song a coat
Covered with embroideries
Out of old mythologies
From heel to throat;
But the fools caught it,
Wore it in the world's eye
As though they'd wrought it.
Song, let them take it
For there's more enterprise
In walking naked.
# Response to a stranger's request

As translated by Leonard Chappelow in the 1767 preface to the English translation of the Maqamat of al-Hariri.
Thou'rt not the first night-wand'rer, Deceive'd by treach'rous moon-light: Nor the first starv'd Purveyor, Pleas'd with the spacious surface Of dunghill's outward verdure, The greedy eye attracting: When all within is nauseous. In choosing a companion,
Thy choice, I find, directs thee To one of diff'rent aspect; For I am like old Moaid, Deform'd in ev'ry member. Hear then what I shall dictate; But let thine eye not see me; For prejudice will frustrate The wisest, best instructions.

# Responsibilities/A Drinking Song

Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That's all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh.

A FRIEND'S ILLNESS
Sickness brought me this
Thought, in that scale of his:

Though flame had burned the whole
World, as it were a coal,
Now I have seen it weighed
Against a soul?
# Royal Naval Biography/Gooch, George Thomas

GEORGE THOMAS GOOCH, Esq. [Commander.]
Third son of the late Venerable Archdeacon Cooch (brother to the late Sir Thomas Gcoch, Hart.), by Barbara, daughter of Ralph Sneyd, Esq., of Keele Hall, co. Stafford, and grand-daughter of Sir Walter Bagot, Bart., father of the first Lord Bagot.
This officer was born at Saxlingham rectory, co. Norfolk, Jan. 27th, 1797; and entered the royal navy in June 1810, as midshipman on board the Amelia frigate. Captain the Hon. Frederick P. Irby, under whom he served until that ship was paid off in April 1813. During this period he saw much active service on the Channel and African stations, and was wounded in the sanguinary action between the Amelia and l’Arethuse French frigate, an account of which is given in Vol. II. Part I. p. 492, et seq. He afterwards successively joined the Rippon 74, Captain Sir Christopher Cole, employed off Rochefort; the Maeander 38, Captain John Bastard; and Conqueror 74, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Plampin, at St. Helena, where he was promoted into the Racoon 26, Captain James Wallis, July 14th, 1818. His subsequent appointments were, Nov. 12th, 1819, to the Vigo 74, Captain Thomas Brown, fitting out for the flag of Rear-Admiral Lambert, in which ship he returned to the above island, and continued upwards of two years; and, in April 1823, to be flag-lieutenant to Sir Charles Hamilton, governor and commander-in-chief of Newfoundland. He obtained his present rank on the 8th July, 1824.
Two of Commander Gooch’s brothers, John Lewis and Frederick, are in holy orders – the former is rector of Benigar, co. Somerset; and the latter, fellow of All Souls, Oxford. ​He has another brother, Henry Edward, who was at the battle of Waterloo, and is now a captain and lieutenant-colonel in the Coldstream Guards.

s made a lieutenant on the 16th June, 1808; and dismissed from the transport service, in 1827, in consequence of his having taken Mrs. Goold to Lisbon for the benefit of her health. This heinous offence, in the sight of one Board, appears to have been considered venial by another, its superior, from which he received a commander’s commission, dated July 22d, 1830. He married, July 1st, 1819, Harriet, daughter of Mr. Knight, of Landport Terrace, near Portsmouth.

Son of Peter Godfrey, of East Bergholt, in Suffolk, Esq. and nephew to Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Rowley, K.C.B.
​This officer passed his examination in Oct. 1809; obtained the rank of lieutenant, Jan. 8, 1810; and was promoted to the command of the Emulous brig, on the Halifax station, Feb. 2, 1813. In the course of the same year, he reported to Sir John B. Warren the destruction of three small American privateers, in Machias and Passamaquaddy bays. His subsequent appointments were, July 22, 1814, to the Arachne of 18 guns, in which vessel we find him conducting the port duties at Gibraltar, in the spring of 1816; and Nov. 18, 1820, to the Surinam sloop, fitting at Chatham, for the Jamaica station, where he was serving when advanced to post rank,July 19, 1822.

WILLIAM GODFREY, Esq. A Companion of the Most Honorable Military Order of the Bath. [Post-Captain of 1809.]
This officer served as a midshipman of the Culloden, on the memorable 1st June, 1794; and was senior Lieutenant of the Prince, a second rate, at the glorious battle of Trafalgar. His promotion to the rank of Commander took place Dec. 24, 1805.
In July 1807, we find Captain Godfrey commanding the Aetna bomb, and accompanying the fleet under Admiral Gambier to Copenhagen. The nature of the operations in which he was there engaged will be seen by reference to our memoir of Captain George Cocks, at p. 238 et seq. of this volume.
​The Aetna was the only vessel of her class that assisted, or was even present, at the destruction of the French ships in Aix Roads, which anchorage she entered nearly half an hour before Lord Cochrane opened his fire, on the 12th April 1809. The following is an extract of the commander-in-chief’s official despatch:
“I should feel that I did not do justice to Captain Godfrey, of the Aetna, in bombarding the enemy’s ships on the 12th, and nearly all the day of the 13th, if I did not recommend him to their lordships’ notice.”
From the evidence given by this officer at the trial of Lord Gambier, it appears that the Aetna’s 13-inch mortar was split on the 13th, at night; and that she had fired away all her 10-inch shells by the evening of the 14th. He also deposed that she shifted her anchorage eight times for the purpose of bombarding the enemy more effectually, and that she did not quit the mouth of the Charente until the 29th. In consequence of the above recommendation, Captain Godfrey was advanced to post rank as soon as the investigation alluded to was over; by commission dated back to the 11th April.
