BTW if anyone is researching Lieutentant WALKER of the Vixen in particular I found him involved with another sea rescue in July of 1834.(the one I posted last night was from August same year) He rescued a man from Plymouth who had fallen off a ship on the way to New York!. Caryl I posted <<This is the tenth instance where Lieutenant WALKER has been instrumental in saving a human life since he has been stationed in the river>>
