[C]V-NO, vertical ear of grain. Rev. CAR-A-T, warrior on horseback right, holding spear and shield. (ABC -; VA -; BMC -). Extremely Fine. Unique. Auctioneer’s notes: We advise prospective bidders that due to the historical and cultural importance of this piece, we believe it would be highly unlikely to receive an export license from DCMS.When it was discovered by a metal detectorist in November of 2019, the Caratacus Gold Stater caused much excitement and discussion in the world of Iron Age numismatics. Lauded by experts such as Dr Philip de Jersey, David Sear, Dr John Sils and Professor Martin Henig, the unique gold piece of perhaps Britain’s most famous Celtic Chieftain, Caratacus, was sold at a Chris Rudd Auction in 2020, where it hammered for an impressive £80,000. It remains the most valuable Iron Age British coin ever sold. While silver coins of Caratacus have been known of for centuries, this stater is the first, and remains the only, gold coin ever discovered of the Atrebatic ruler. Famous for fighting a guerilla war against Roman forces in the aftermath of the Invasion of Britain in AD 43 for nearly a decade, his forces were defeated at the Battle of Caer Caradoc in AD 50, and he was later captured. Paraded through Rome in a triumph, his courageous speech before the Senate and Emperor Claudius so impressed the Romans that he was spared. Given a house in Rome, he lived in peace for the rest of his life.This unique gold stater borrows imagery from earlier Celtic gold coins, including, most remarkably, the obverse. This design, inspired by the gold coinage of Cunobelin, confirms that Caratacus was indeed a son of the British King, with the inscription CV-NO flanking an ear of barley. Similar to the images appearing on earlier coins of Verica, the reverse depicts a warrior on horseback, crucially surrounded by the Latin ‘CARAT’, leaving no doubt as to the issuer’s identity.

Carlo Innocenzo Carlone,  Italian 1686-1775- The Triumph of the Arts; oil on canvas, 86.2 x 57 cm. Provenance:  Private Collection, Genoa.  with Thomas Agnew & Sons, London, 1968 [no.30151].  The Collection of Professor W. M. Ballantyne (1922-2021), and thence by descent.  Literature:  A. Barigozzi Brini and K. Garas, 'Carlo Innocenzo Carloni', Milan, 1967, p.86, pl.67.  Advertisement, Apollo Magazine, October 1968, p.lxxxi (illustrated). Exhibited:  London, Thomas Agnew & Sons, '17th and 18th Century Italian Paintings', 3-26 October 1968, no.29. Note:  Carlone was one of the most brilliant decorators of the 18th century. He was a master of the 'bozzetti' and this is a fine example of his firm yet intensely fiery style. He seems to have kept his 'bozzetti' and at his death some three hundred were found in his studio. The present work depicts Apollo surrounded by allegorical figures 'Justice' and 'Time' with putti holding up a mirror possibly to 'Beauty'. This sketch was possibly made for a ceiling painted during one of the artist's many trips to Germany and Austria.

Bronkhurst, 'William Holman Hunt. A Catalogue Raisonné', 2006, p.209, no.D426 (illustrated). O.J.W. von Schleinitz, 'William Holman Hunt (Künstler-Monographien vol. LXXXVIII)', Bielefeld and Leipzig, 1907, p.129, pl.125.  W. Holman Hunt, 'Pre-Raphaelitism and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood', 2nd ed., London, 1913, vol. II, p.311 (illustrated).  Note:  The sitter, Hilary, was the artist's son by his second wife, Edith (1846-1931), and served as the model for a number of Holman Hunt's paintings, including 'Master Hilary - The Tracer' now in a private collection, and as the Christ Child in 'Triumph of the Innocents', in the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool [WAG 2115]. The present work is a striking example of the artist's sensitive, softly-shaded chalk portraits, much like Holman Hunt's portrait of Hilary's mother, Edith, in the collection of the Tate Galleries [T12881]. It also recalls his slightly smaller portrait of Annie Miller, also in profile, which sold at Sotheby's, London, on 5 July 2023, as lot 61 for £76,200. The sitter is shown here at the age of seventeen or eighteen and his features very much reveal his close resemblance to his half-brother Cyril.

Paolo Farinati,  Italian 1524-1606- The Holy Family with Saint Catherine of Alexandria; oil on copper, bears indistinct inscription in pencil verso, 39.8 x 30.6 cm. Provenance: The Collection of John F. Hayward, the owner's grandfather, and thence by descent. Note:  Farinati was active mainly in his native Verona, but also in Mantua and Venice. He was a contemporary of the prominent artist of Verona, Paolo Veronese, and was instructed, according to Giorgio Vasari, by his father and by Niccolò Giolfino, and probably also by Antonio Badile and Domenico del Riccio (Brusasorci). Vasari praised his thronged compositions and merit of draughtsmanship. His works are to be found in Venice, Verona, Padua and other towns belonging or adjacent to the Venetian territory. He is notable for having kept a detailed journal of his activities from 1573 until his death. His many drawings on handmade and prepared blue paper are also particularly noteworthy. John F. Hayward (1916-1983) was an art historian who established himself as an authority on European decorative arts. He served the Courtauld Institute, and after the war (he was a SOE) the Victoria & Albert Museum (Deputy Keeper) and Sotheby's until 1981. He published a number of books, including 'Virtuoso Goldsmiths & the Triumph of Mannerism' (1976), and was a collector of Mannerist art. We are grateful for Dr Eveline Baseggio Omiccioli for confirming the attribution of the present lot based on images.

JAKOB DE WIT19. Dezember 1695 Amsterdam - 12. November 1754 ebendaHERKULES UND OMPHALE Öl auf Leinwand (altdoubl.). 125 x 139 cm (R. 130 x 145 cm). Rechts unten signiert und datiert: 'JdWit 1721'. Part. leicht altrest., min. Altretuschen, leichte Farbverluste. Rahmen. In der griechischen Mythologie ist die Geschichte von Herkules und Omphale ein faszinierendes Kapitel, das Aspekte von Sühne, Umkehrung der Geschlechterrollen und kulturellen Austausch beleuchtet. Herkules, bekannt als der stärkste aller griechischen Helden, war der Sohn des Zeus und der sterblichen Alkmene. Er war berühmt für seine immense Stärke und die Erfüllung der zwölf Arbeiten, die ihm von König Eurystheus auferlegt wurden. Doch trotz seiner heroischen Taten war Herkules auch für seinen unbändigen Zorn und gelegentlichen Verlust der Selbstkontrolle bekannt. Nach einer besonders schweren Tat - dem Mord an Iphitos - suchte Herkules göttlichen Rat, um seine Sünden zu sühnen. Das Orakel von Delphi wies ihn an, sich als Sklave zu verkaufen, und der Erlös sollte als Wiedergutmachung verwendet werden. Herkules wurde an Omphale, die Königin von Lydien, verkauft. Omphale, die Tochter des Flussgottes Iardanos, war eine mächtige und unabhängige Herrscherin. Sie besaß nicht nur königliche Autorität, sondern auch große Weisheit und Stärke. Die Beziehung zwischen Herkules und Omphale war ungewöhnlich, da sie eine Umkehrung traditioneller Geschlechterrollen darstellte. Herkules, der große Held, wurde zum Diener und trug die Frauenkleider seiner Herrin, während Omphale seine Keule und das Löwenfell übernahm. In dieser Zeit führte Herkules viele Aufgaben für Omphale aus, darunter auch heroische Taten, die seiner üblichen Rolle entsprachen, wie das Erlegen von Räubern und das Säubern der Landschaft von Ungeheuern. Doch gleichzeitig zeigte er sich auch in häuslichen und demütigeren Tätigkeiten, die traditionell als weiblich angesehen wurden. Diese Geschichten illustrieren nicht nur die Vielseitigkeit von Herkules, sondern auch die Macht und den Einfluss von Omphale. Die Episode mit Omphale endet schließlich damit, dass Herkules seine Sühnezeit erfolgreich beendet und als gereinigter und weiserer Mann zurückkehrt. Omphale, die ihn nicht nur als Diener, sondern auch als Geliebten behandelt hatte, half ihm, seine innere Balance und seine wahre Stärke zu erkennen. Die Geschichte von Herkules und Omphale hebt sich in der griechischen Mythologie durch ihre ungewöhnliche Dynamik und die Umkehrung der traditionellen Rollenbilder hervor. Sie zeigt, dass Stärke und Weisheit nicht nur in körperlicher Macht liegen, sondern auch in der Fähigkeit zur Demut und zur Anerkennung der eigenen Fehler. Jakob de Wit, geboren am 19. Dezember 1695 in Amsterdam, war ein bedeutender niederländischer Maler des 18. Jahrhunderts, der vor allem für seine meisterhaften Grisaille-Malereien und dekorativen Decken- und Wandgemälde bekannt ist. Sein Werk ist ein beeindruckendes Zeugnis des barocken Stils, geprägt von Eleganz, Leichtigkeit und einer virtuosen Technik. De Wit zeigte schon in jungen Jahren ein bemerkenswertes Talent für die Malerei. Seine erste künstlerische Ausbildung erhielt er bei dem Amsterdamer Maler Albert van Spiers. Um sein Können weiter zu verfeinern, reiste er 1714 nach Antwerpen, wo er Schüler des renommierten Malers Jacob van Hal wurde. Diese Zeit in Antwerpen war prägend für de Wit, da er dort intensiv mit der barocken Malweise und der flämischen Tradition vertraut wurde. Nach seiner Rückkehr nach Amsterdam 1717 etablierte sich de Wit schnell als gefragter Künstler. Seine Spezialität waren Grisaille-Malereien - monochrome Gemälde, die oft in Grau- oder Brauntönen ausgeführt wurden und das Aussehen von Skulpturen imitieren sollten. Diese Technik nutzte er meisterhaft für illusionistische Effekte, die in der Innenraumdekoration des 18. Jahrhunderts sehr geschätzt wurden. Jakob de Wits Werke waren häufig großformatige Decken- und Wandgemälde, die in den prächtigen Häusern der wohlhabenden Amsterdamer Bürgerschaft zu finden waren. Ein herausragendes Beispiel seiner Arbeit ist die Deckengemälde-Serie im Amsterdamer Stadthaus, das heutige Königliche Palais. Diese Werke zeichnen sich durch ihre lebendige Darstellung mythologischer und allegorischer Szenen aus, die sowohl eine tiefe Kenntnis der klassischen Themen als auch eine brilliante künstlerische Technik zeigen. Ein weiteres bemerkenswertes Werk ist sein Gemälde "Triumph der Tugend", das sich im Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam befindet. Dieses Werk zeigt de Wits Fähigkeit, komplexe Kompositionen zu gestalten und die Figuren in einer dynamischen, fast skulpturalen Weise darzustellen. Jakob de Wit war nicht nur als Maler erfolgreich, sondern auch als Lehrer und Förderer der Kunst. Zu seinen Schülern zählten einige der bedeutendsten Künstler seiner Zeit, und er trug wesentlich zur künstlerischen Ausbildung in Amsterdam bei. Er starb am 12. November 1754 in seiner Heimatstadt Amsterdam. Sein Werk hinterließ einen nachhaltigen Einfluss auf die niederländische Malerei des 18. Jahrhunderts, und seine Kunstwerke sind bis heute in zahlreichen Museen und Sammlungen weltweit zu bewundern. Jakob de Wit bleibt ein bedeutender Vertreter des Barocks, dessen Werk Eleganz, technische Perfektion und künstlerische Innovation vereint (OpenAI's ChatGPT AI language model, persönliche Kommunikation, 24.07.2024).

The scarce Great War D.S.C. group of five awarded to Acting Flight Commander C. C. ‘Jumbo’ Carlisle, Royal Naval Air Service, late Merchant Navy, one of the more unusual characters of ‘The Spider Web’ Sea-plane Flight at Felixstowe Distinguished Service Cross, G.V.R., the reverse hallmarked London 1917; 1914-15 Star (Flt. S. Lt. C. C. Carlisle, R.N.A.S.); British War and Victory Medals (Flt. Cr. C. C. Carlisle. R.N.A.S.); Denmark, Medal for Heroic Deeds, silver, mounted as worn, good very fine (5) £1,400-£1,800 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- Provenance: Butterfield’s Auction, U.S.A., June 2000. D.S.C. London Gazette 1 May 1918: ‘For zeal and devotion to duty between 1 July and 31 December 1917.’ The original recommendation states: ‘This officer has served on this station [R.N.A.S. Felixstowe] since August 1915 and has been consistent in carrying out his varied duties in a thorough and capable manner. I consider his influence on this station to have been highly valuable to the Service and most deserving of recognition.’ Cyril Campbell Carlisle was born in Liverpool on 14 March 1880, and originally served in the Merchant Navy, having been apprenticed to Nicholson & McGill in February 1896. He was awarded the Norwegian Medal for Heroic Deeds in respect of the rescue of the crew of the barque Varuna in 1902 and he gained his 1st Mate’s Certificate in the following year. His subsequent Master’s Certificate was obtained at Victoria, British Columbia, Canada in August 1906, but on joining the Royal Naval Air Service in May 1915, he listed his current employment as that of a manager of a petroleum company in West Africa. Having undertaken pilot training at R.N.A.S. Chingford - seemingly without success, one report stating ‘he will never improve as a pilot’ - Carlisle was posted to R.N.A.S. Felixstowe for duty as ‘senior watch keeper and motor boats’ in January 1916. Subsequently described as ‘an exceptional officer with great ability to command,’ he was advanced to Flight Lieutenant in October 1916 and given charge of ‘seaplane lighters and motor boats.’ And apart from his detachment to Houton Bay ‘in connection with the America Seaplane’ in April 1917, he appears to have remained likewise employed until the war’s end. Having been advanced to Acting Flight Commander in March 1918, he transferred to the Royal Air Force in the rank of Captain and served in 70 Wing and in France. Carlisle emigrated to Canada in the 1920s but died back in the U.K. at Brighton, Sussex, in July 1969. A much liked and unusual character, some of Cyril Carlisle’s antics are recounted in The Spider Web, The Romance of a Flying-Boat War Flight, by ‘P.I.X.’, published in 1919, an amusing account of R.N.A.S. Felixstowe during the war, but, as the following extracts might illustrate, ‘Jumbo’ had an important part to play: ‘C. C. Carlisle, the Old Man of the Sea, or Jumbo, as he was called, because of his appearance and methods on the football field, was an institution on the station. He was in charge of the working party which did all the pulley-hauley work, and of the piratical crews of the motor-boats who looked after the flying- boats when they were on the water of the harbour. He had all sorts of fascinating model sheerlegs and derricks for training his men, and on occasion headed the salvage crew or the wrecking gang. He was a merchant service officer who had spent thirteen years at sea, part of the time fetching oil from Patagonia, and it was rumoured that he had also fetched from that salubrious spot his picturesque language. Some weekend trippers to Felixstowe, standing outside the barbed wire enclosing the beach, after watching and hearing, with eyes popping out and ears flapping, the unconscious Jumbo handling a working party bringing In the Porte Baby, wrote an anonymous letter to the Commanding Officer complaining of the earache, and adding, “it was Sunday too." This effusion was signed " A Disgusted Visitor." It was quite evident that the writer had never been with our armies in Flanders.’ ‘The new year [1918] opened badly. On the 2nd, in a thirty-knot wind, Gordon took off the harbour in a new type boat. As he rose from the water a petrol pipe failed, and not having height to turn he landed her outside down wind. She touched the water at a rate of knots, her bottom split open, and she sank in shallow water. Before she sank Gordon and his crew were taken off by a motor-boat. The Old Man of the Sea organised a salvage party. Jumbo boiled about in the sheds setting alight his trusty henchmen, and collected an amazing assortment of wire cables, ropes, balks of timber, flares, anchors, and what else I know not. The station tug Grampus, the steam hissing from her safety-valve through the zeal of her fireman (for the usual unexciting job of the crew was to bring bread and beef from Shotley, and this was an adventure), took the O.M.O.T.S.'s pet, the flat- bottomed salvage barge, in tow. They took it out and anchored it to windward of the wreck, but nothing further could be done until low water, which was at nine o'clock. In the darkness of the night, in the shadow of the sheds, Jumbo collected his piratical crew and packed them into the Grampus. I asked to be taken along, and we all shoved out through the guardships into the open sea. We could not get near the barge owing to the shallow water, and Jumbo forsook us, climbing with five of his satellites into a small dinghy, which, perilously overloaded, bobbed away over the heavy sea into the darkness. A long wait. The tug was rolling and tossing in the steep waves. A drizzling rain was falling. There were no shore lights, and the night was pitch-black. And then there was a glare of light in the distance, Jumbo had lit one of the acetylene flares on the stern of the salvage barge. The glare increased, and presently a light came bobbing over the water towards the tug, - it was a lantern in the bow of the dinghy. I climbed across and was ferried to the scene of activity. It was a weird sight. Five hissing acetylene flares surrounded the wreck with a fierce glow. Intense darkness all around, and in the brilliant pool of light a section of tossing waves, the flying-boat with her lower wings showing on the surface of the water, and the oilskin-clad men working on her. The wind was dying down, and as the tide fell the force of the waves was broken by the shoals over which they had already passed and by the barge. Jumbo took a short wire rope, with a wire hawser attached midway between the two ends, and had it worked down from the bow beneath the flying-boat. The ends were made fast to the engine bearer-struts, the men tying the knots under water, as the tide was now rising. Other men had made and fitted a wire sling for each engine, and to these two lines were made fast and taken to the barge. The slack in the wire hawser and the two lines was hauled in, and as the incoming tide raised the barge the flying-boat was lifted clear of the bottom. As soon as the water was deep enough Jumbo had the anchor heaved up and two motor-boats took the barge in tow. The flying-boat, supported on the surface by its lower wings moving through the water, followed after. It was towed by the two lines attached to the engines, the wire bridle under the bow preventing it nose-diving. The Old Man of the Sea processioned into the harbour in triumph. First the Grampus, then the two motor-boats, then the barge, and finally the flying-boat....

The rare Naval General Service and Army of India campaign pair awarded to Captain George Tincombe, Royal Navy, promoted to Commander for services during the Burmese War from whence he returned with Despatches Naval General Service 1793-1840, 1 clasp, Egypt (G. Tincombe, Midshipman.); Army of India 1799-1826, 1 clasp, Ava (1st Lieut. G. Tincombe, R.N. Actg. Capt.) short hyphen reverse, officially impressed naming, light handling marks, otherwise extremely fine (2) £6,000-£8,000 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- Provenance: Brian Ritchie Collection, Dix Noonan Webb, September 2004. The earliest N.G.S. clasp in combination with Ava to the Royal Navy, one of only 20 such pairs, nine of which were in combination with Syria. The ‘Actg. Captn.’ shown on his medal for the Burma campaign refers to his post at the time rather than his rank. George Tincombe was born at Sidmouth, Devon, in 1784 and entered the Navy in March 1800. He served his first eight months at sea as an Ordinary and A.B. in the Wassenaer, employed in the Downs and afterwards in the Mediterranean under Captains Edward Marsh and John Larmour. Tincombe was appointed Midshipman on 1 October 1800, and, having followed Larmour into the troopship Diadem, took part in the operations connected with the expedition to Egypt, and was present at the landing of the Army in Aboukir Bay on 8 March 1801. In 1803, he again followed Larmour, this time into the frigate Clyde 38, in which he served for the next eighteen months chiefly blockading the Dutch coast. In September 1804, he joined Melampus, Captain Stephen Poyntz, stationed in the Channel, West Indies and on the North America station. While in Melampus, he contributed to the capture of two armed brigs each carrying fifty men, most of them troops; four luggers of one long 18-pounder and twenty-five men each en route from Bordeaux to Brest; and a Spanish privateer of 28 guns and 192 men, of whom three were killed and several wounded. He also was aboard Melampus when she joined the 74’s Belleisle and Bellona, and assisted in the destruction of the French 74 L’Impéteux. In February 1808, Tincombe was nominated Acting-Lieutenant of Triumph 74, the command of the Trafalgar hero, Captain Sir Thomas Masterman Hardy, Bart. After cruising in the North Sea and the Basque Roads, Tincombe was given charge of a division of gun boats on the Tagus. He was next appointed to the command of a gun boat and was ‘actively engaged’ in the defence of Cadiz, and as a reward for his services he was confirmed a Lieutenant of the Triumph on 4 May 1810. From December 1810 to September 1814, he was employed in the Armada 74, participating in the blockade of Flushing, the Texel, and Toulon, the unsuccessful attack on Leghorn, the capture of Savona, and in a variety of operations off the Italian coast. In October 1821, he went with Captain Charles Grant from the Armada, when that officer transferred his broad pendant to the Liffey 50 in the East Indies. While serving in the Liffey, Tincombe witnessed the reduction of Rangoon during the First Burma War, and took part in operations against various stockades on the Irrawaddy. Tincombe returned from the Far East aboard a merchantman carrying despatches in July 1825, and was promoted Commander on 19 August following. His final promotion to Captain came on 1 April 1856. Tincombe was placed on half-pay in 1825 and settled in Plymouth; firstly at 6 Oxford Street, and afterwards at 13 Portland Square. Captain George Tincombe died in Devon sometime in 1868.

D.S.C. London Gazette 14 March 1916: ‘Probationary Midshipman Reginald Allen, H.M.S. Europa. For services performed under shell fire on the beaches and in steam boats off the beaches.’ Also commended for service in action during the operations in Gallipoli, April 1915-January 1916. Bar to D.S.C. London Gazette 17 November 1917: ‘Sub. Lieutenant, D.S.C., R.N.R. For services in action against enemy submarines.’ For the possible destruction of an enemy submarine by the Q-ship Chagford. One of only approximately 92 bars to the D.S.C. awarded during the Great War. The following extract is taken from Q Ships and their Story by E. Keble Chatterton: “In the spring of 1917 there was a 2,905-ton steamship, called the Bracondale, in the employment of the Admiralty as a collier. It was decided that she would make a very useful Q-ship, so at the beginning of April she was thus commissioned and her name changed to Chagford. She was fitted out at Devonport and armed with a 4-inch, two 12-pounders, and a couple of torpedo tubes, and was ready for sea at the end of June. Commanded by Lieutenant D. G. Jeffery, R.N.R., she proceeded to Falmouth in order to tune everything up, and then was based on Buncrana, which she left on August 2 for what was to be her last cruise, and I think that in the following story we have another instance of heroism and pertinacity of great distinction. Chagford’s position on August 5 at 4.10 a.m. was roughly 120 miles north-west of Tory Island, and she was endeavouring to find two enemy submarines which had been reported on the previous day. At the time mentioned she was herself torpedoed just below the bridge, and in this one explosion was caused very great injury: for it disabled both her torpedo tubes and her 4-inch gun; it shattered the boats on the starboard side as well as the Captain’s cabin and chart room. In addition, it also wrecked all the voice-pipe connections to the torpedo tubes and guns, and it flooded the engine-room and put the engines out of commission, killing one of the crew. Lieutenant Jeffery therefore ‘abandoned’ ship [i.e. sent off the panic party], and just as the boats were getting away two periscopes and a submarine were sighted on the starboard side 800 yards away. As soon as the enemy came to the surface fire was opened on her by the two 12-pounders and both Lewis and machine-guns, several direct hits being observed. The submarine then dived, but at 4.40 a.m. she fired a second torpedo at Chagford, which hit the ship abaft the bridge on the starboard side. From the time the first torpedo had hit, the enemy realised that the Chagford was a warship, for the 4-inch gun and torpedo tubes had been made visible, and now that the second explosion had come Lieutenant Jeffery decided to recall his boats so that the ship might genuinely be abandoned. The lifeboat, dinghy, and a barrel raft were accordingly filled, and about 5.30 a.m. the enemy fired a third torpedo, which struck also on the starboard side. Having sent away in the boats and raft everyone with the exception of himself and a Lieutenant, R.N.R. [James S. Hely], two sub-lieutenants, R.N.R. [Reginald Allen, D.S.C., and George E. Martin], also an assistant paymaster, R.N.R. [Harry Manley], and one petty officer [E. A. Edgecombe], Lieutenant Jeffery stationed these in hiding under cover of the fo’c’sle and poop, keeping a smart look-out, however, through the scuttles. Here was another doomed ship rolling about in the Atlantic without her crew, and only a gallant handful of British seamanhood still standing by with but a shred of hope. To accentuate their suspense periscopes were several times seen, and from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. a submarine frequently appeared on the surface at long range, and almost every hour a periscope passed round the ship inspecting her cautiously. During the whole of this time Chagford was settling down gradually but certainly. At dark Lieutenant Jeffery, fearing that the enemy might attempt boarding, placed Lewis and Maxim guns in position and served out rifles and bayonets to all. Midnight came, and after making a further examination of the damage, Lieutenant Jeffery realized that it was impossible for the Chagford to last much longer, for her main deck amidships was split from side to side, the bridge deck was badly buckled, and the whole ship was straining badly. Therefore, just before half-past midnight, these five abandoned the ship in a small motor-boat which they had picked up at sea some days previously, but before quitting Chagford they disabled the guns, all telescopic sights and strikers being removed. Having shoved off, they found to their dismay that there were no tanks in the motor-boat, so she had to be propelled by a couple of oars, and it will be readily appreciated that this kind of propulsion in the North Atlantic was not a success. They then thought of going back to the ship, but before they could do so they were fortunately picked up at 7.30 a.m. by H.M. trawler Saxon, a large submarine having been seen several times on the horizon between 4 and 7 a.m. The trawler then proceeded to hunt for the submarine, but, as the latter had now made off, volunteers were called for and went aboard Chagford, so that by 4 p.m. Saxon had commenced towing her [Sub-Lieutenant Allen was again amongst the volunteers on this occasion]. Bad luck again overcame their efforts, for wind and sea had been steadily increasing, and of course there was no steam, so the heavy work of handling cables had all to be done by hand. Until the evening the ship towed fairly well at 2 knots, but, as she seemed then to be breaking up, the tow rope had to be slipped, and just before eight o’clock next morning (August 7) she took a final plunge and disappeared. The Saxon made for the Scottish coast and landed the survivors at Oban on the morning of the eighth. In this encounter, difficult as it was, Chagford had done real service, for she had damaged the submarine so much that she could not submerge, and this was probably U-44 which H.M.S. Oracle sighted in the early hours of August 12 off the north coast of Scotland, evidently bound to Germany. Oracle chased her; U-44 kept diving and coming to the surface after a short while. She had disguised herself as a trawler and was obviously unable to dive except for short periods. Oracle shelled and then rammed her, so that U-44 was destroyed and Chagford avenged.” Lieutenant Jeffery was awarded the Distinguished Service Order, while Sub-Lieutenant Allen got a Bar to his Distinguished Service Cross, and Sub-Lieutenant Martin and Assistant Paymaster Manley both received the Distinguished Service Cross. Reginald Allen was born at Warrington in 1895, was appointed Midshipman, Royal Naval Reserve, on 15 August 1911, and in September 1914 was serving aboard the armed merchant cruiser Teutonic. In January 1915 he transferred to the battleship Triumph and would appear to have been one of the survivors from that ship when she was torpedoed and sunk by a...

The 3-clasp Naval General Service medal awarded to Lieutenant Lawford Miles, Royal Navy, for his services as a Midshipman on board the Amethyst at the capture of the Thetis in November 1808, when he was severely wounded, and in the same ship at the capture of the Nieman in April 1809; he was afterwards Master’s Mate on board Lord Exmouth’s flagship Queen Charlotte at the bombardment of Algiers in 1816 Naval General Service 1793-1840, 3 clasps, Amethyst Wh. Thetis, Amethyst 5 April 1809, Algiers (Lawford Miles, Midshipman.) edge bruise and contact marks, otherwise very fine £20,000-£24,000 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- Provenance: Dalrymple White Collection, Glendining’s, July 1946; Spink, June 1976; Peter Dale Collection, July 2000. 31 clasps issued for Amethyst Wh Thetis, and 26 clasps issued for Amethyst 5 April 1809. Capture of the Thetis, 10 November 1808
This action was fought near L’Orient, between the Amethyst, thirty-eight, Captain Michael Seymour, and the French frigate La Thetis, of about equal force, but superior in the number of her crew, and having besides a body of one hundred soldiers on board. The engagement began about nine at night, and soon after eleven the Thetis made a desperate but unsuccessful attempt to board the Amethyst. After great slaughter, the French frigate was boarded and taken, being much shattered and entirely dismasted. The captain of the Thetis and one hundred and thirty-four of her men were killed, and one hundred and two wounded, including all her officers except three. The Amethyst suffered severely, Lieutenant Kendal, of the Marines, and eighteen men being killed, and fifty-one wounded. Her mizzen mast was shot away, her other masts much injured, and she had three and a half feet of water in her hold. Just as the action ended, the Triumph, seventy-four, Captain T. M. Hardy, and the Shannon, Captain Broke, came up, and the latter ship, taking the prize in tow, brought her into Plymouth. For this action Captain Seymour received the honour of knighthood, and a sword valued at one hundred guineas from the Patriotic Fund, in addition to the Naval Gold Medal. (Medals of the British Navy by W. H. Long refers). Capture of the Niemen, 5 April 1809
At eleven on the morning of April 5th, the thirty-eight gun frigate Amethyst, about forty-two leagues from Cordovan lighthouse, caught sight of a ship steering to the westward. The Emerald, thirty-six, Captain T. L. Maitland was in company, and both ships joined in pursuing the stranger, the French frigate Niemen, forty guns, bound for the Isle of France. The chase was continued during the day, and at seven in the evening, the Amethyst, lost sight of the Emerald and of the enemy, on which he had gained but little. Captain Seymour then altered his course to cross the probable track of the French frigate, and at twenty minutes to ten p.m. discovered her steering to the westward. Soon after eleven p.m. the ships exchanged shots from their bow and stern chasers, and about quarter past one a.m. the Amethyst closed on her opponent, and gave her her starboard broadside. From this time till half past three, a severe action continued, and shortly after, the main-top and mizzen masts of the Niemen were shot away, her main top was on fire, and her guns nearly silenced. In bringing to, to the leeward, the main-mast of the Amethyst through the damaged state of her rigging, fell over the starboard quarter, carrying with it the mizzen mast, and about the same time the main-mast of the Niemen fell. Both ships then ceased firing. A quarter of an hour later, the thirty-eight gun frigate Arethusa, Captain R. Mends, came up within gunshot, and the Niemen hoisted a light, and fired a gun at the Arethusa, and another at the Amethyst. The Arethusa returned the fire with some of her foremost guns, and the French frigate lowered her light and surrendered. Two officers and thirty-seven men of the Amethyst were absent in prizes, and of her remaining crew of two hundred and twenty-two men and boys, she had eight men killed, and three officers, and thirty-four men wounded. The Niemen with a crew of three hundred and thirty-nine men and boys, lost forty-seven men killed, and had seventy-three men wounded. The Arethusa sustained no loss whatever. The prize, a very fine new frigate, was taken in tow by the Arethusa, her hull being much damaged, and the next day, her foremast fell over the side. She was added to the Royal Navy by the same name.
There is a great similarity between this action and that of the Amethyst and Thetis, in the manner of conducting it, in the comparative force of the combatants, and also in reference to the intrusion of a third party. It is quite evident, however, that in both cases the capture was virtually effected by the Amethyst. Captain Seymour was created a baronet of the United Kingdom, and the first lieutenant, William Hill, promoted to Commander. (Medals of the British Navy by W. H. Long refers). Lawford Miles entered the Navy 4 August 1806, and while serving as Midshipman of the Amethyst, of 42 guns and 261 men, assisted at the capture, 11 November 1808, off L’Orient, of the French frigate La Thétis, of 44 guns and 436 men, including troops, which was boarded and carried at the close of a furious conflict of more than three hours, in which the British had 19 men killed and 51 (including himself severely) wounded, and the enemy 135 killed and 102 wounded. The injury he sustained on the occasion was at first rewarded by a gratuity from the Patriotic Fund, and subsequently by a pension of £6. On 6 April 1809, he was further present in a severe intermittent action of about four hours, which terminated in the capture, with a loss to the Amethyst of 8 men killed and 37 wounded (including himself with a severe contusion), of another of the enemy’s frigates, Le Niemen, of 46 guns and 339 men, of whom 47 were slain and 73 wounded. During his stay in the Amethyst Mr. Miles also served in the boats at the capture and destruction of a convoy off Chasseron Tower; and was a participator in the operations connected with the expedition to the Walcheren. In August 1816, having passed his examination in the course of the preceding year, he was present on board the Queen Charlotte 100, flag-ship of Lord Exmouth, at the battle of Algiers. He was made Lieutenant, 4 April 1825, into the Menai 26, Captain Houston Stewart, on the Halifax station, whence he invalided in the following April; and, since 19 October 1846, has been serving as Agent on board a contract mail steam-vessel.
