APPENDIX. 
mence the embarcation under cover of the marines, hoping that what haij 
been done would meet with your approbation. 
From the knowledge of the place possessed by Sailingmaster Barry, 
and his coolness, I derived the utmost advantage. Assistant-surgeons 
Foltz and Pawling were active and zealous in the discharge of their duties, 
binding up and dressing the wounded under the fire of the enemy. The 
different orders I had occasion to send to those separated from me, were 
conveyed with promptness and great precision by Passed-midshipman 
Tooley and Purser William A.' Slacum. The lieutenants commanding 
the different divisions, have reported to me the entire satisfaction they 
derived from the coolness and bravery of the officers and men imder their 
particular commands. I feel it a duty to state to you how much I am 
indebted to Lieutenants Pinkham, Hoff, IngersoU, and Edson, for the 
promptness and alacrity with which they executed all orders, and my 
warm admiration for the gallantry evinced by them upon all occasions. 
The loss of the enemy must have been considerable ; at least one hundred 
and fifty killed. I am happy to state, that among the killed was Poolow 
N. Yamet, commonly called Po Mahomet, the principal rajah concerned 
in the plunder and massacre of the crew of the ship Friendship. We 
captured one pair of colours, twenty-six stand of arms, and one brass 
fieldpiece. We also set fire to and destroyed a number of proas on the 
stocks. The cannon in all the forts, with the exception of one, being of 
iron, were spiked and thrown over the parapet, and the powder destroyed. 
The following is a list of the killed and wounded. 
Killed — William P. Smith, seaman ; Benjamin T. Brown, marine. 
Wounded — Lieutenant Edson, contused leg ; Midshipman J. W. Taylor, 
slightly ; Daniel H. Cole, marine, supposed mortally ; Henry Butcher 
(o. s.), severely; Peter Walsh (o. s.), severely; Levi M'Cabe (qr. gun.), 
slightly ; John L. Dubois, seaman, severely ; John Addison, seaman, 
shghtly ; James A. Huster, marine, slightly ; James F. Noland (o. s.), 
slightly ; James M'Cabe (o. s.), shghtly. 
I have the honour to be, sir, very respectfully, 
Your obedient servant, 
(Signed) IRVINE SHUBRICK, 
Lieut, commanding the Expedition.
