DRUMMOND. (Lieutenant, 1815.)
Patrick Drummond entered the Navy, 14 May, 1807, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Rosamond sloop, Capt. Jas. Whitley Deans Dundas, stationed in the North Sea. We subsequently find him attached for nearly two years to the Dryad 36, Capts. Adam Drummond and Edw. Galwey; under the latter of whom he served on the Walcheren expedition in Aug. 1809. From March, 1810, until he invalided in Sept. 1814, Mr. Drummond further officiated, as Midshipman, on the Home and Mediterranean stations, of the Tonnant 80, Capts. Sir Chas. Hamilton and Sir John Gore, Indefatigable 44, Capt. John Fyffe, Revenge 74, Capt. Sir J. Gore, Iphigenia 36, Capt. Andw. King, and San Josef 110, flagship of Sir Rich. King. He obtained his commission 6 April, 1815; and was afterwards appointed, 8 June, 1821, to the Nimrod 18, commanded on the Leith station by Capt. Chas. Nelson, in which sloop, however, he continued but a short period.
