April 22, 1854.
o fshitphe enderfod and
SlR,—Herewith I have the honour to forward a list ofs
sustained.casualtie board
and her
destruction Majesty's
command, in the attack
shipping in Port Imperial this day, and I avail myself of
on
the opportunity to express my entire satisfaction at the
conduct of the steam division which you did me the honour
of placing under my command.
The management of the several ships, in close proximity
to each other, and in very shallow water, nianceuvring for
several hours, required the mist vigilant attention, and
were executed without an accident ; but as these proceed-
ings were under your own immediate eye, it is not requi-
site for me to say more on such and similar particulars.
The French steamer Vauban was obliged to retire at an
early period of the attack in consequence of some red hot
shot from the batteries, having made a lodgement in the
lining of the ship, but as soon as the fire could be extin-
guished, she returned to her post in the attack.
The conduct of this ship's company was such as might
be expected of a British crew devoted to their Queen and
country, and the arrangements in detail by Lieutenant
Shute B. Piers, first of this ship, had provided for every
exigency.
The precision with which the captains of the guns took
aim elicited my warmest commendation during the attack,
and did full justice to the care and correctness with which
Lieutenant E. McArthur, prepared the fuzees for
the required range ; as marksmen, William Barker, gun-
ner's mate, and John Edwards, sailmaker, were especially
noticeable.
The engine was worked with that steady obedience to
order which has at all times distinguished the conduct of
Mr. Jago, whether under fire or otherwise.
The division of rocket-boats under Commander Dickson
were admirably managed, and contributed most essentially
to the success of the day.
The ships and vessels in Port Imperial amounted to
about 24, most of which being sunk or on fire at the time
of your making the recall, and the explosion of the bat-
tery on the pier head, rendered further operations in that
quarter unnecessary.
I have, itc.,
(Signed) L. T. JONES, Captain.
Vice-Admiral J. W. D. Dundas, C.B.
Commander-in-Chief.
