​DUNLOP. (Commander, 1842.)
Robert John Wallace Dunlop died in 1846, on the coast of Africa. He was son of Retired Commander Robt. Wallace Dunlop, R.N. (1833), who obtained his Lieutenant’s commission 8 May, 1795, and died 18 July, 1843.
This officer entered the Navy 9 Oct. 1823; and passed his examination in 1830. Obtaining his first commission 6 July, 1836, he was afterwards appointed, on the East India station – 4 Oct. in the same year, to the Winchester 52, flag-ship of Hon. Sir Thos. Bladen Capel – 25 Dec. 1837, to the Wolf 18, Capt. Edw. Stanley – and, 1 July, 1838, to the Favorite 18, Capt. Walter Croker. On 24 June, 1840, he landed with his Captain and a detachment of seamen and marines at Tongataboo, one of the Friendly Islands, for the purpose of assisting the native Christians in a war then raging between them and the heathen part of the population. At the onset, however, of an attack which the British presently made on a fortress situated five miles in shore, and of extraordinary strength, their allies deserted, in consequence of which circumstance, and of the death, with many others, of Capt. Croker, they were compelled to retreat. From that period Lieut. Dunlop – who himself had been desperately wounded, but had still continued to fire the guns – held the acting-command of the Favorite until 3 Sept. 1841. He was confirmed in the rank of Commander 21 Feb. 1842; and, from 15 Sept. 1843, until the period of his death as above, served in command of the Star sloop on the coast of Africa.
The Commander was awarded, 2 July, 1842, a pension for his wounds of 91l. 5s. He married, 6 July, 1841, Eulalia Hayes, second daughter of the late Jas. Ross, Esq., Light Infantry Depot. Agents – Messrs. Chard.

​DUNNETT. (Lieut., 1821. f-p., 15; h-p., 23.)
William Henry Dunnett entered the Navy, 23 April, 1809, as Midshipman, on board the Aggressor 12, Lieut.-Commanders John Watson and Henry Jewry, in which vessel he continued, on the North Sea station, until Jan. 1815. He then served for upwards of five years, as Master’s Mate, Acting-Lieutenant, and Admiralty-Midshipman – on the Home, West India, and Mediterranean stations – in the Larne 20, Capts. Abraham Lowe and Sir John Gordon Sinclair, Florida 20, Capts. Wm. Elliot and Chas. Sibthorpe John Hawtayne, Scamander 36, Capt. Wm. Elliot, Wasp 18, Capt. Thos. Wren Carter, and Rochfort 80, bearing the flag of Sir Thos. Fras. Fremantle. He was afterwards (as Admiralty-Midshipman of the Severn 40, Capt. Wm. M‘Culloch) appointed to the Coast Blockade in June, 1820. For his gallant conduct while in that service, in preventing the landing, 22 Dec. 1821, of a cargo of contraband goods, near Romney, in Kent, where he received several buck-shot wounds in the left thigh, Mr. Dunnett was rewarded with a commission dated 27 of the same month. He had passed his examination 6 Sept. 1815. From 24 May, 1827, until 3 Jan. 1829, we again find him employed in the Coast Blockade, as Supernumerary-Lieutenant of the Ramillies 74, Capt. Hugh Pigot. He has since, however, been on half-pay.
Lieut. Dunnett, who during his attachment to the Aggressor appears to have been foremost on every occasion of difficulty and danger, particularly signalized himself by his intrepid conduct in saving, although in a heavy gale and high sea, the lives of 12 persons on board the Nancy brig, then in a sinking state, on the Wells bank. He afterwards, on 22 Dec. 1816, plunged from the main-chains of the Scamander, and, at the imminent hazard of his own life, rescued two men who had fallen overboard, and who but for him would inevitably have perished. He married 28 Feb. 1838. Agent – J. Hinxman.

What should I say? — Since Faith is dead, And Truth away From you is fled? Should I be led With doubleness? Nay! nay! mistress.
I promised you, And you promised me, To be as true As I would be. But since I see Your double heart, Farewell my part!
Thought for to take 'Tis not my mind; But to forsake One so unkind; And as I find So will I trust. Farewell, unjust!
Can ye say nay But that you said That I alway Should be obeyed? And — thus betrayed Or that I wist! Farewell, unkist!

# A Rhyme for Memorial Day

Keep fond remembrance of thy brave, Columbia! Twice by blood redeemed; Once, from thy foes beyond the wave, And once from evil nearer outschemed.
Bring forth the banners, faded now, Reconsecrate each stain and rent With patriot pledge and solemn vow To Freedom’s glorious intent.
Thy champions at the call of Fate Their pleasures and their toil forsook, They left their firesides desolate, But wrote their names in Honor’s book.
Heap high the wreaths above their dust! Sound the war trumpet for their meed, But keep thee faithful to the trust Bequeathed in each heroic deed.
Of the shorn beauty of their days Let Memory her broad blazon make, And point her lesson, while our lays Call the land blessed for their sake.

# A Ride for Life

Published in: Grey River Argus (Newspaper, New Zealand), Volume XXXVI, Issue 7986, 10 July 1894.
A letter written by Mr. W. L. Gooding from Buluwayo has been received by his mother in England. Mr. Gooding was with the Salisbury column in operations against the Matabele and was with Major Wilson just before that officer and his followers made their last advance. After describing how he took part in the pursuit of Lobengula until it became necessary to retire, he says : —
" Captain Borrow asked Burnum [Editor’s note: Frederick Russell Burnham] (one of the scouts) to ride on as fast as lie could and hurry Major Forbes up. Captain Judd suggested that he had better send two more with him, as one of the three might have a chance of getting through. Captain Borrow asked if I would go, and, of course, I said yes ; so he and I and Ingrant [Editor’s note: Pete Ingram], his mate, set off at a canter. We had not gone more than half a mile when Burnum, who was leading said —
'NOW FOR IT BOYS,' and turned off sharp to the left. I caught sight of a lot of Matabeles, and followed Burnum at a gallop. The enemy fired a regular volley at us, and as they were about 50 yards off I am sure I do not know how the/ missed ; but miss they did, and we had not gone far when I saw Burnum again turn to the left, and we heard a most infernal howl, and got another volley with the same result.
We galloped on gradually turning to the right again, and when we were well clear of the Matabele. tried to make our way back to the track. We did not reach it, however', but we heard the Maxims, which showed us that Forbes was being attacked. We could also hear heavy firing behind us, showed that Wilson was again engaged. We decided our only chance was to make a detour and come up in the rear of Forbes. We at last reached the river, which, to our dismay, was in flood, having risen during the night or early morning. We consulted, and decided to cross, and managed this safely, though our horses had
GOOD SWIM FOR IT
Luckily, the Matabele, who were quite close, were too busy with Forbes's to notice us.
On reaching the bush on the opposite side, we agreed to make a dash for the main body, and had not gone far when ! the Matabeles saw us, and commenced to shoot. Just then we caught sight of Forbes's party, 500 or 600 yards off, and galloped into the camp. We found they were unable to cross the river to Wilson's help. We joined in the firing, which lasted half an hour longer, and meanwhile the firing in Wilson's direction had ceased, so I am much afraid the whole of the party have been killed.
