The Manor of Lackham IV : 19 th & 20 th century owners Fig .41 Location of the Galite Islands 469 marks wreck site * Box indicates area of Fig 42 x The account as printed: : The Avenger, a steam frigate, with an armament of 6 heavy guns and 28O men, sailed from Gibraltar on the afternoon of the 17th of December, 1847. As her commander. Captain Charles G E. Napier, was anxious to spare the coal, the steam was reduced to the least possible degree, leaving sufficient to work the wheels up to the rate of sailing. On Monday, the 20th, the steamer was running with square yards, at the rate of eight or nine knots an hour, steering about east by south, under double-reefed topsails and reefed foresail. At eight o'clock in the evening the usual watch was placed, with directions to keep a careful look-out. The night was dark and squally, with a high sea running, and occasionally loud peals of thunder were heard, accompanied with vivid flashes of lightning. 469 The location box shows the area of the next figure, see 6 pages below 144
