​DAVIES. (Retired Commander, 1843. f-p., 10; h-p., 43.)
Richard Longfield Davies was born 28 Nov. 1775, in the county of Cork, and died 15 May, 1846. He was the 17th child of a late Clergyman of the Established Church.
This officer entered the Navy, 9 April, 1793, as A.B., on board the Medusa 50, Capt. Jas. Norman; and on subsequently removing, as Midshipman, to the Ceres 32, Capt. Rich. Incledon, assisted at the reduction of the French West India islands, in 1794. Under the same officer, in the Vengeance, he next officiated at the storming of Fleur d’Epée and Pointe-à-Pitre, in the island of Guadeloupe; after which he rejoined Capt. Norman, as Master’s Mate, in the Medusa, and was eventually present in a similar capacity on board the Namur 90, Capt. Jas. Hawkins Whitshed, in Sir John Jervis’ action, 14 Feb. 1797. In Sept. following, he removed from the Ville de Paris 110, flag-ship of Earl St. Vincent, to an Acting-Lieutenancy in the Alexander 74, Capt. Alex. Ball; and on next joining the Majestic 74, Capts. Geo. Blagden Westcott and Robt. Cuthbert, he filled the same post at the battle of the Nile, 1 Aug. 1798. On that occasion Mr. Davies commanded the boarders and firemen, and for his general exertions was publicly thanked by his Captain. Being confirmed; after many other active services, particularly on the Neapolitan coast, by commission dated 8 June, 1799, he was subsequently appointed – 27 Dec. 1799, to the Active 38, Capt. Chas.

In command at first of the boats belonging to the latter frigate, manned with only 27 men, and then in a tender, we find him taking successively possession of the islands St. Pierre and Miquelon, at the former of which places, after destroying all the guns and ammunition, he kept 140 prisoners in check for 24 hours, until he was relieved by the arrival of the ship. The subject of this sketch, who was placed on half-pay 25 Dec. 1803, became a Retired Commander on the Junior list 1 Dec. 1830; and on the Senior, 28 July, 1843.

MONUMENTS.
The city is old enough to have a personal history; its monuments bear witness to this. Of these, two are erected to commemorate miltary events and others are intimately connected with the city's history, beginning with the late beloved Queen Victoria, who chose this place as the site of the Capital. One statue of her late Majesty will be found in the library of Parliament, the other is described below.
Queen Victoria, Parliament Hill. An heroic statue of Queen Victoria is outlined against the sky, north-west of Parliament square. The work is by Louis Philippe Hebert, a Canadian sculptor, who has skillfully delineated the British lion in an attitude of protection of the Sovereign. The motto is "Constitutional Liberty." The statue was unveiled by King George V. (then Duke of Cornwall), when he visited the city in 1899.
Sir John A. Macdonald, Parliament Hill. This statue, by Hebert, which stands at the east end of the Parliament Buildings, is a life-like figure of the first premier of the Dominion of Canada. Sir John Macdonald may be ​called the founder of the Confederation of the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. He was Prime Minister from 1867 to 1873, and from 1878 to his death, in 1891.
QUEEN VICTORIA MONUMENT
Sir George Etienne Cartier, Parliament Hill. A co-worker with Sir John Macdonald in bringing about Confederation, his statue, by Hebert, is properly placed at the opposite (west) end of the buildings, a fitting spot for the leader of the French-Canadians.
Hon. Alexander Mackenzie, Parliament Hill. In a less pretentious position, between the last named statue and the library, we find the statue (by Hebert and Hamilton MacCarthy) of the Scotch stone-mason who became Premier of Canada. Leader of the Liberal Party, he was Prime Minister from 1873 to 1878.
Mgr. Joseph Guigues, (First (R.C.) Bishop of Ottawa, in the grounds of the Basilica, north-east corner of Sussex and St. Patrick streets.
Sharp-Shooters' Monument, Major's Hill Park. A bronze figure of a private of the Governor General's Foot Guards is erected to the memory of two members of that regiment who fell at "Cut Knife Hill" in the North West Rebellion, 1885.
South African Monument, City Hall Square. In memory of Ottawa soldiers who served and died in the Boer War in South Africa from 1899 to 1901.
Henry Harper, Wellington street. An heroic sacrifice is recorded by the statue of "Sir Galahad." This monument, at the head of Metcalfe street, commemorates the death of a young Ottawan who, in an attempt to save the life of a companion, plunged into the icy waters of the Ottawa.

​KINGCOME. (Captain, 1838.)
John Kingcome entered the Navy, 28 May, 1808, as Sec.-cl. Vol., on board the Emerald 36, Capt. Fred. Lewis Maitland, with whom he continued to serve as Midshipman, on the Channel, Irish, and Cape of Good Hope stations, until Dec. 1813. He was in consequence present at the destruction of the French shipping in Aix Roads in April, 1809; and had an opportunity of witnessing the capture of a large number of the enemy’s vessels, armed and otherwise. On leaving the Emerald, as above, he was received on board the Tigre 74, Capt. John Halliday, stationed in the Channel, where he remained until again placed, in May, 1813, under the orders of Capt. Maitland, at that time commanding the Goliath 74, on the coast of North America. In July, 1814, he became Master’s Mate of the St. Lawrence, bearing the broad pendant on Lake Ontario of Sir Jas. Lucas Yeo, who nominated him, 9 March, 1815, Acting-Lieutenant of the Princess Charlotte, Capt. Rich. O’Connor – an appointment which the Admiralty confirmed by commission dated 1 July in the same year. In Oct. 1815, after having served for some time with Capt. Peter Sampson Hambly in the Star sloop, he obtained command of the Confiance schooner on Lake Huron; and from Oct. 1816 until July, 1817, he was again employed on Lake Ontario, in the Netley 10, Capt. Fras. Brace. His next appointment was, 29 July, 1822, to the Tees 26, Capts. Thos. Coe and Fred. Marryat, the former of whom, on becoming Senior officer in India, appointed him to the command, in 1824, of the Larne sloop; which vessel, he being at the time engaged in the Burmese war, and she at New South Wales, he was not able to join until 15 April, 1825. While in her, we find him conveying Lady Brisbane (wife of Commodore Sir Jas. Brisbane) and her two daughters from Madras to Pinang, and the Archdeacon Scott from Sydney to Van Diemen’s Land; and afterwards visiting New Zealand, Norfolk and Melville Islands, Batavia, and Singapore. Being superseded on his return to Madras in the following July, Lieut. Kingcome was next appointed to the Pandora sloop, Capt. Wm. Clarke Jervoise. From that vessel, he removed, in 1826, to the Warspite 76, bearing the broad pendant of Sir Jas. Brisbane. Attaining the rank of Commander 8 Jan. 1828, Capt. Kingcome served in that capacity in the Coast Guard from 24 Oct. 1835 until appointed, 18 June, 1837, to the Wellesley 74, bearing the flag of Sir F. L. Maitland on the East India station, whence he returned on attaining his present rank 28 June, 1838. On 23 Oct. 1841 it was his fortune to be appointed to the Belleisle troop-ship, in which he sailed for China, and arrived there in time to witness the closing operations on the Yang-tse-Kiang. He paid the Belleisle off at the close of 1843, but since 24 March, 1846, has again had the command of her.
One of Capt. Kingcome’s children was drowned while serving with him as a Midshipman in Jan. 1847. Agents – Messrs. Stilwell.
