Catalogue Note
In a contemporary review, the Spectator noted that "there is... a good deal of incident; pursuits of slavers, hair-breadth escapes, interviews with barbarian potentates, an attack by savages on boats, and finally the destruction of [Barnard's] last ship, the war-steamer Thunderbolt, by going ashore, and the indefatigable efforts made to save her".
