He served in the Bellerophon, in Lord Howe’s action, June 1,1794; in Cornwallis’s retreat and at the battle of the Nile. For his con- duct in this latter action, when in temporary command of the Bellerophon, he received the public thanks of Lord Nelson, and was pro-1 ~sentod with asword by the officers of his own shi .

He also served under Lord Cochrane at the Basque Roads, Flushing, and the capture of the West India Islands.
