VOULES. (Lieutenant, 1842.)

Edward Jervis Voules passed his examination 5 April, 1837; and in the course of 1841 was nominated Mate on the North America and West India and Plymouth stations of the Fair Rosamond schooner, Lieut.-Commander Arthur Gibson Bulman, and Caledonia 120, flag-ship of Sir Graham Moore. He attained the rank of Lieutenant 7 March, 1842; was appointed, 11 May following, to the Albatross 16, Capt. Reginald Yorke, fitting for North America and the West Indies; and from 27 July, 1844, until 1848, was employed in the Coast Guard. While in the latter service he displayed much gallantry in the assistance which, at the risk of his life, he rendered to the Master and crew of the Swedish brig Norrbotten, from Lulia, wrecked on Moorsands, on the Reckham station, on the night of 29 April, 1845.
