“ Lieutenant Maude was appointed to the Lavinia 40, in which frigate he continued, under Captains Lord William Stuart and John Hancock, on the Channel, Oporto, and Mediterranean stations, until Jan. 1809. By the latter officer he was frequently employed in boats on the southern coast of France, where we find him making several successful attacks upon the enemy’s trade. ”

“ May 15th, 1824, to the Dartmouth 42, fitting out for the Jamaica station; where his boats, under the command of Lieutenant Henry Warde, captured two piratical vessels ; one mounting a long 12-pounder on a pivot, and manned with about fifty well armed desperadoes, some of whom were killed, and twelve taken prisoners to Havannah. ”

“ The Phoenix returned home from the Mediterranean in June 1802; and Mr. Maude appears to have subsequently served under Captain Lord William Stuart, in the Crescent frigate, on the North Sea and Channel stations. His first appointment as lieutenant was. Mar. 29th, 1805, to the Namur 74, commanded by Captain L. W. Halsted, in which ship he assisted at the capture of a French squadron, consisting of one 80 and three 74’s, the former bearing the flag of Mons. ”
