While attached next, between Oct. 1805 and June, 1808, to the Powerful 74, Capts. Robt. Plampin, Rich. Buck, Hon. Fleetwood Broughton Reynolds Pellew, and Chas. Jas.

La Bellone was not taken until after a running-fight of considerable length, in which the enemy sustained a loss of 1 man killed and 6 or 7 wounded, and the British of 2 killed and 1 1 wounded. Mr. Pearson continued employed in the East Indies in the San Fiorenzo 36, Capt. John Bastard, until Jan. 1809. From that period he did not again go afloat until May, 1812. He then joined in succession the Union and Ocean 98’s, Capts. Sam. Hood Linzee, Wm. Kent, and Robt. Plampin, both on the Mediterranean station; whence, in Sept. 1813, he returned to England.

On 13 of the following month he served in the boats at the capture of several rafts and of the last fort protecting the approaches to Canton; and on 18 he was similarly employed at the capture of the city itself, During the series of operations against it we find him commanding the Modeste’s cutter, under the present Sir Edw.

In Aug. and Oct. he co-operated in the reduction of Amoy and Chinghae.

​PEARSON. (Retired Commander, 1846. f-p., 12; h-p., 34.)
Charles Pearson is brother of Lieut.-General Sir Thos. Pearson, Kt., C.B., K.C.H., Colonel of the 85th Regt.; another brother, George, who had been severely wounded in the Bellerophon at Trafalgar, and had been subsequently employed under Sir Sam. Hood, died a Lieutenant in India towards the close of the war.
This officer entered the Navy, about Feb. 1801, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the St. George 98, Capts. Thos. Masterman Hardy and Wm. Grenville Lobb; in which ship, bearing at first the flag of Lord Nelson, he served in the Baltic, off Cadiz, and in the West Indies, until July, 1802. Joining next, in Aug. 1803, the Spencer 74, Capt. Hon. Robt. Stopford, he fought and was wounded in the action off St. Domingo 6 Feb. 1806, and in 1807 accompanied the expedition against Copenhagen, where, during an attack upon the in-shore squadron, the boat he commanded was sunk. In consideration of the wound he received at St. Domingo, Mr. Pearson was presented with a grant from the Patriotic Fund. On 21 May, 1808, a short time after he had been removed to the Victory 100, flag-ship in the Baltic of Sir Jas. Saumarez, he was nominated Acting-Lieutenant of the Thunder bomb, Capt. Jas. Caulfeild; under whom we find him, 9 June following, present (while in charge of a homeward-bound convoy, and in company with the Charger, Piercer, and Turbulent gun-brigs, the latter of which was captured) in a very severe running action of four hours with 25 Danish gun-boats off the island of Saltholm. Being confirmed a Lieutenant, 8 Nov. in the same year, in the Orion 74, Capt. Sir Arch. Dickson, he sailed in the year following with the armament destined to act against Flushing, during the operations against which place he was intrusted with the charge of an armed brig. In Sept. 1809, on the application of Rear-Admiral Stopford, he was appointed to that officer’s flagship, the Scipion 74; and in Jan. 1812, after having co-operated in the reduction of Java, he was selected to officiate as his Flag-Lieutenant; a post which, on the eve of the Scipion’s return from the Cape of Good Hope to England, he was induced by the Admiral to resign for the purpose of effecting the advancement of a near connexion of the latter, a Midshipman, but upon the understanding that it was not to interfere with his promotion on the flag being hauled down. He was doomed, however, to disappointment. He served from 1813 to 1815 in the President 38, Capts. Sam. Warren, Fras. Mason, and Arch. Duff; and has since been on half-pay. Under Capt. Mason he was employed on shore in the batteries at the siege of St. Sebastian. He accepted his present rank 27 Jan. 1846.
Commander Pearson married, in 1831, a niece of Col. Knight, of Coolrass, co. Limerick, and has issue three children. Agents – Hallett and Robinson.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Hearn, Lafcadio

​Hearn, Lafcadio (1850-1906).—Journalist and writer on Japan, s. of an Irish Army surgeon and of a Greek lady, b. in ​Leucadia, Ionian Islands, lost his parents early, and was sent home to be taken charge of by an aunt in Wales, a Roman Catholic. On her death, when he was still a boy, he was left penniless, delicate, and half blind, and after experiencing great hardships, in spite of which he ed. himself, he took to journalism. Going to New Orleans he attained a considerable reputation as a writer with a distinctly individual style. He came under the influence of Herbert Spencer, and devoted himself largely to the study of social questions. After spending three years in the French West Indies, he was in 1890 sent by a publisher to Japan to write a book on that country, and there he remained, becoming a naturalised subject, taking the name of Yakomo Koizumi, and marrying a Japanese lady. He lectured on English literature in the Imperial Univ. at Tokio. Though getting nearer than, perhaps, any other Western to an understanding of the Japanese, he felt himself to the end to be still an alien. Among his writings, which are distinguished by acute observation, imagination, and descriptive power of a high order, are Stray Leaves from Strange Literature (1884), Some Chinese Ghosts (1887), Gleanings in Buddha Fields (1897), Ghostly Japan, Kokoro, Hints and Echoes of Japanese Inner Life, etc. He was also an admirable letter-writer.

​Henley, William Ernest (1849-1903).—Poet and critic, b. at Gloucester, made the acquaintance of Robert Louis Stevenson (q.v.), and collaborated with him in several dramas, including Deacon Brodie, and Robert Macaire. He engaged in journalism, and became ed. of The Magazine of Art, The National Observer, and The New Review, compiled Lyra Heroica, an anthology of English poetry for boys, and, with Mr. Farmer, ed. a Dictionary of Slang. His poems, which include Hospital Rhymes, London Voluntaries, The Song of the Sword, For England's Sake, and Hawthorn and Lavender, are very unequal in quality, and range from strains of the purest music to an uncouth and unmusical realism of ​no poetic worth. He wrote with T.F. Henderson a Life of Burns in which the poet is set forth as a "lewd peasant of genius."
