" Such of the officers above named as are still performing
duty in the Indian Navy will be relieved as soon as arrange
ments for that purpose can be made, and their retirement will
be considered as taking effect from the date of their relief, when
promotions will be made to fill the vacancies."
These retirements created a flow of promotion, and during
the year 1839, the following cadets, called " Volunteers," joined
the Service:—Messrs. C.Eden, H.N. Garrett, A. Foulerton,
G. N. Adams, A. Timbrell, H. 0. Cook, F. Pratt, J. H. Dis-
browe, J. Tronson, R. Ritherdon, M. B. Worsley, H. Batt,
A. J. Smith. H. Ralph, F. W. Hopkins, A. M. Melvin, Miles

R. Barker, E. Peevor, W. H. Marston, T. C. Barker, J. Thomas,
J. Soady, H. W. Etheridge, E. Bode, A. W. Chitty, E. Giles,
and C. A. Sandeman. Within a few years, Messrs. Eden,
Ralph, Garrett, and Soady were drowned at sea; many others
died in the Service, or were invalided, from effects of climate;
and of forty officers only the following fourteen survived to be
pensioned off on the abolition of the Service within twenty-four
years, when their average ages could not have exceeded forty
years, viz.:—Messrs. Foulerton, Adams, Tronson, Worsley,
Batt, Hopkins, Stradling, Constable, Twynam, Fraser, Peevor,
Etheridge, Chitty, and Giles.
As concerned the paragraph of the Court's letter relating to
the command of the steam packets, the Superintendent pub
lished an order, dated the 9th of November, 1838, notifying the
directions of the Governor in Council, that lieutenants should
be appointed to the command of the steam packets, " unless a
commander shall specially apply for the appointment." "This

In consequence of the partial transformation of the Indian
Navy into a steam Service, it was necessary that a suitable staff
of engineers should be appointed, and, accordingly, by an Order
of the Governor in Council, dated the 21st of November, 1838,
regulations were issued relative to the appointment and allow
ances of this class of officers.* In March, 1839, eleven en-
