by Sir de Lacy Evans' division on the 26th October' 1851,
Mr. Hewett, then acting mate of her Majesty's ship Beagle
was in charge of the right Lancaster Battery before Sebas-
topol. The advance of the Russians placed the-gun in great
jeopardy, their skirmishers advancing within 300 yards of
the battery and pouring in a sharp fire from their Minie
rifles. -By some misapprehension the word was passed to
spike the gun and retreat ; but Mr. Hewett taking upon
himself the responsibility of disregarding the order, replied
that "Such order did not come from Captain Lushington,
and he would not do it till it did." Mr. Hewett then pulled
down the parapet of the battery, and with the assistance of

vancing body of Russians a most destructive and effective
fire. For the gallantry exhibited on this occasion, the Board
of Admiralty promoted him to the rank of Lieutenant. 2d
