HISTORY OF THE INDIAN NAVY.
and you are friends, do tell them that I have rarely known more
courageous conduct—indeed, never. It cannot be surpassed,
unless on those extraordinary occasions when men voluntarily
devote themselves to certain death, Danvers, Boulderson, and
their companions, are gloriously bold men."
While on the subject of this fire, we take the opportunity of
referring to the frequent occasions on which the officers and
crews of the ships of war of the Indian Navy lying in Bombay
harbour, rendered timely aid in assisting to extinguish confla
grations on shore and afloat. An instance occurs to mind in
the case of the burning of the 6 Thomas Grenville,' in 1843,
when the merchants of Bombay addressed a letter of thanks to
Sir Robert Oliver, for the succour rendered by the officers and
crews of the Hon. Company's vessels in harbour, and pre
sented a sum of 5,000
rupees
Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf.
for distribution among the men
thus engaged.
In December, 1845, Sir Robert Oliver returned overland
from England, and resumed his duties at the head of the
Service from the 14th of that month, Commander Lynch re
verting to his post of Assistant-Superintendent, and Commander
Boulderson to the charge of the Draughtsman's Office, whence,
in February, 1846, he was transferred to the command of the
6 Auckland.'
