TURNER.— From the fact that the address of this artist in the Royal Academy Catalogue for 1836 is given as 66, Great Queen Street, Lincoln's Inn Fields, which also is the address of F. C. Turner in the same year, it must be concluded that the two were closely con- nected. Possibly they were brothers, but in the total absence of records, which would throw light on the parentage of either, nothing beyond conjecture is open to us. G. A. Turner's works, so far as they can be traced, were very few ; he exhibited three pic- tures in the Royal Academy in the years 1836, 1838 and 1841 re- spectively ; and in the volumes of the Spotting Magazine for 1837 and 1839 we find four plates engraved 1897.] MY grandfather's JOURNALS. 279 from his paintings.

We got the route in the early autumn of 1797, and the regiment was embarked in three different transports. My company and two others, 237 men with eight officers, went on board the Osceola, a four- masted teak- built ship of some 400 tons, very clumsy in a sea way and slow on a wind, so that our voyage to Madras occupied nearly five months. A wearisome time enough, although enlivened by some stormy incidents, heavy weather aloft, feuds and fallings- out in the cuddy below. It was to me a memorable voyage, for I was all but ruined and utterly lost by it. My honour was saved and my life, but I landed penni- less, weighted too with a heavy obligation, a load of debt I saw no near prospect of paying off. Life on board ship is generally monotonous. We had little or no • CopTrigbt.

But the time hung heavily on our hands. There were few books amongst us ; our games were deck quoits and long bul- lets ; for sport we struck dolphins, fished with pork for a following shark or shot at an albatross. Ours were the idle hands and empty minds that the devil soon finds work for. Someone pro- duced cards and a dice box ; our commanding officer, the senior captain, Horsburgh by name, a weak creature, was not above throwing a main himself, and play was going on continually.
