“ On the 13th Mar. following, Lieutenant Haye was severely burnt on board the French prize-frigate Corona, taken the same day by a squadron under Captain William Hoste, near Lissa [1] . On the 27th July, though then still an invalid, he very handsomely volunteered to assist in an attack upon twenty-eight vessels, lying in a creek near the island of Ragosuiza, and laden with grain for the garrison of Ragusa [2] . On the 29th Nov., same year, he was slightly wounded in action with la Pomone French frigate, forming part of a squadron from Corfu bound to Trieste. ”
