# Royal Naval Biography/Acklom, George

Layout 2
GEORGE ACKLOM, Esq. Knight of the Imperial Russian Orders of St. Anne and St. Wladimer; and a Magistrate for the county of Middlesex. [Post-Captain of 1812.]
This officer entered the navy, as a midshipman on board the Bedford 74, Captain Robert Man, in 1788; and subsequently served under Captain G. W. A. Courtenay, in the Pearl frigate, on the Mediterranean station. At the commencement of the French revolutionary war, he was again received on board the Bedford; and from that ship promoted into the Captain, another third rate, in Oct. 1794. We should here observe that he was employed on shore at Toulon during the occupation of that place by the allied forces under Admiral Lord Hood, and that he was consequently engaged in a variety of harassing services previous to his receiving a commission.
In 1795, we find Mr. Acklom serving as flag-lieutenant to Vice-Admiral Hotham and subsequently under Lord Hugh Seymour, in the Sans Pareil 80, on the Jamaica station. ​His next appointment was (1803) to be first of the Neptune 98, in which ship he assisted at the defeat of the combined fleets, off Cape Trafalgar, Oct. 21, 1805. In consequence of that glorious event, he was advanced to the rank of commander, Dec. 24 following.
Towards the close of 1807, Captain Acklom was appointed to the Ranger sloop, in which vessel he appears to have been very actively employed on the Baltic station, for nearly six years. Among the enemies’ vessels captured and destroyed by him during that period were three French and the same number of Danish privateers. His handsome conduct, in volunteering to work the Ranger through the ice, from Gottenburgh to Anholt, for the purpose of rescuing a shipwrecked crew, will be noticed in our memoir of Captain Henry James Lyford.
The next service of importance performed by Captain Acklom, was that of safely conducting a large fleet of merchantmen through the Malmo Channel; for which, and for his zealous exertions on every previous occasion, he was very deservedly promoted to post rank, Jan. 8, 1812.
In the ensuing summer, Captain Acklom, who still retained the command of the Ranger, opened a communication with General Von Essen, governor of Riga, and was ordered to assist at the defence of that place, then threatened with a siege by the French and Prussian armies under Marshals Macdonald and Yorck. During the winter of the same year, he commanded a small squadron left in the Baltic to co-operate with the Russian troops intended for the reduction of Dantzic. In consideration of his able services on that occasion, the Emperor Alexander was pleased to confer upon him the orders of St. Anne and St. Wladimer; the former of the second, and the latter of the third class. He gave up the Ranger on account of ill health, in Dec. 1813; since which he has not been employed.

ROBERT AITCHISON, Esq. [Post-Captain of 1827.]
Son of William Aitchison, of Drummore, Cast Lothian, Esq.
This officer entered the royal navy, in 1809, as midshipman on board the Lively 38, Captain (now Rear-Admiral) George M‘Kinley, and continued in that ship until she was wrecked near Point Coura, Malta, Aug. 10th, 1810. He next joined l’Unité frigate, Captain (now Rear-Admiral) Patrick Campbell; with whom he was removed into the Leviathan 74, off Toulon. We afterwards find him serving under Captain (now Sir David) Milne, in the Impetueux, Dublin, Venerable, and Bulwark, two-deckers; and subsequently in the Tonnant 80, bearing the flag of Sir Alexander Cochrane, on the North American station. During the expedition against New Orleans, he received an order to act as lieutenant of the Vengeur 74, Captain (now Sir Robert T.) Ricketts; and this appointment appears to have been confirmed by the Admiralty, May 6th, 1815. After remaining on half-pay for nine months, he was appointed, May 1st, 1816, to the Leander 60, Captain Edward Chetham, C.B., in which ship he bore a part at the memorable battle of Algiers, and subsequently accompanied Sir David Milne, as his flag-lieutenant, to the Halifax station, where he continued during the ​whole period of that officer’s command. His commission as commander bears date July 17th, 1819; and his promotion to the rank of captain took place April 30th, 1827, at which period he was serving in the Clio sloop, on the North Sea station.
Captain Aitchison married, Dec. 18th, 1821, Eliza, daughter of the late Matthew Munro, of the island of Grenada, Esq.

# Prophecies of Thomas the Rhymer (1)/Chapter 1

SHORT ACCOUNT
OF
SIR THOMAS LEARMANT,
THE RHYMER
SIR THOMAS LEARMANT, commonly called Thomas the Rhymer, was in the east corner of Fife, of a good family. His Prophecies have been more credited that any that were ever recorded in the Scots Chronicle, as they have been well attested, what of them is past, and what they allude to, in this present century and period, and of his dark sayings yet to come.
He told many mystical prophecies anent all the Kings of Europe, and what fell out according to his prediction, in this ancient kingdom of Scotland; what is past, present, and to come.
This brief account is taken from the Record of Cryle, near which place he was born and brought up.
His father was said to be Laird of Balcomie, and the records of that family are extant in the Rolls, for assisting at several councils for the honour of ​Scotland. And Sir Thomas the Rhymer's prophecies and sayings are still held in estimation.
He lived in the reign of Alexander III. King of Scotland, in the year one thousand two hundred and forty-eight, much regarded, and knighted by that king that same year.
The first of his fully observed, was, that there should be a storm on a certain day, that would surprise all Scotland. Now, some gentlemen being with him that day, they began to joke him, and said, "Sir Thomas, you are now mistaken, and we shall stay and see your mistake, as we have heard so much of your prophecies." He told them to stay an hour longer, and they would see and believe. And in less time than an hour, an express arrived to Sir Thomas from Edinburgh, of the death of Margaret, Queen of Alexander III., who died that day. Upon receiving the news, Sir Thomas told them that this was the storm, and it would give rise to greater commotions in Scotland.
After the death of Queen Margaret, the King married Isabel, daughter to the Earl of Driux; and Sir Thomas told within a few months of an earthquake at Kinghorn, that would make Scotland tremble. An express accordingly came to Cryle to Sir Thomas, that the King had fallen from his horse at Kinghorn, and broke his neck. After the death of Alexander, he left no heirs except a grandchild, Margaret, daughter of the King of Norway, ​who also soon died; but a short time before her death she was betrothed to Edward, King of England. After this there were great commotions anent the succession to the crown of Scotland, which occasioned great blood-shed, particularly betwixt Bruce and which you have recorded in the Scottish Histories.
The pride of Spain, and the deceitful conduct of the French, as also concerning the Dutch, is all foretold.—Likewise the Scots battles at Torwood, Bothwellbridge, Malpaickie, Killycrankie, Sheriffmuir, Proud-Preston, near Gladsmuir, Falkirk, Culloden, the Camps in Moray-shire, on the Windmill brae at Aberdeen, by General Coup, and at Dunbar.
In forty-five eighty-two and three, Sir Thomas' Works doth certify.
