that vessel until after she had assisted in bringing over from Ostend the officers and men wounded at the battle of Waterloo. He obtained a Companionship of the Order of the Bath, Sept. 16 in the same year; and received his next and last appointment, which was to the Leven 24, fitting at Chatham, Aug. 18, 1818.
In the Leven, Captain Bartholomew terminated his mortal career, at the island of Mayo, after surveying the whole of the Azores, part of the African coast, and some of the Cape Verd Islands, Feb. 19, 1821. His remains were interred at Porto Praya, St. Iago, in the eastern angle of a small fort fronting the sea; and over his grave was placed a board, which the Portuguese have allowed to remain undisturbed, probably from the circumstance of the Leven’s officers having taken the precaution, although he was a Protestant, to paint under the inscription a cross, similar to those used in Roman Catholic countries. Mrs. Bartholomew died at Chelsea, in 1814.
