Dead. A lieutenant. Poor Jack went mad and died.
William Pringle, first a scribe, and then a midshipman.
Dead. A lieutenant out-pension; nicknamed ‘Bull Rothery’ and ‘Ponderous and Huge.’ He got the name of ‘Ponderous and Huge’ from the following circumstance. When we were storming the poop (as I have mentioned before), I was looking at John Macredie who had a boarding-pike for a spear, and repeating the following lines from the Iliad:
And now he shakes his great paternal spear,
Ponderous and huge, which not a Greek could rear—
when Pringle, who was standing by, asked me who Ponderous and Huge were, and whether they were Greeks or Trojans.[[68]]
Titus Allardice, Midshipman.
Dead [1832]. A commander [1831]; died insane at Haslar.
Davis, Mate. Dead. A lieutenant. Poor fellow, was broke by court martial.
John Bull Conolly, Midshipman.
