17. This again was a severe day's work; officers and men behaved admirably, and with the greatest spirit. I beg to report to you the able assistance I received from Captain Edgell, and from Commanders Forsyth, Corbett, and Turnour, during the two days' operations. Their zeal and activity the last day (as before) was emulated by the Officers' of all ranks under them, from Lieutenant Nares, the Senior Lieutenant, to the Junior Cadet.
18. Captain Edgell brings to my notice the active share taken by Lieutenant Staniforth in the Tribune's Barge; and the services of Mr Hudson, Acting Mate of this Ship, I beg particularly to notice.
Lieutenant Rd. Cox, of the 38th Regiment Madras Rifles, accompanied the expedition each day as a Volunteer, and made himself very
useful.
