tionably, very great, but the surrounding jungle afforded the
enemy the means of carrying away their dead, according to
their custom in such cases. Nevertheless, some of those left
on the field we recognised as persons of considerable influence.
Whilst I record my admiration of the gallantry and steadi-
ness of the whole force under a galling fire, sustained for a
long period, I must particularly mention Captain Lyster, who
directed his attention to the boom, and by whose personal ex-
ertions that obstacle was overcome.
Mr. Gibbard, mate of her Majesty's ship Wolverine, was, I
grieve to say, mortally wounded by an early shot, when gal-
lantly working at the boom with an axe.
I beg leave to point out to your Excellency the conduct of
Mr. Williamson, Malay interpreter to Mr. Brooke; he was
with me during the attack, and was exposed to the whole of
the fire —I have, Esc., CHARLES TALBOT, Captain.
