PACE. (Lieutenant, 1821.)

Edmund Howard Pace is the son of a Chaplain in the Navy. One of his brothers filled the same rank in the Service; and two of them were officers in the Army. During the war with America he saw much boat work in the Chesapeake, and was engaged in frequent skirmishes with the enemy. In the affair at Corrijou he held the rating of Master’s Mate, and brought out the last of the captured vessels. For his conduct at the battle of Algiers he was mentioned in honourable terms by Lord Exmouth to the Prince Regent. He served during the Burmese war in the Columbine and Arachne: on its conclusion he returned home in the latter vessel with despatches.
