JAGO. (Lieutenant, 1816. f-p., 10; h-p., 30.)
John Sampson Jago entered the Navy, 20 April, 1807, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Indefatigable 44, Capts. John Tremayne Redd, Henry Edw. Reginald Baker, and John Broughton, in which ship, after witnessing Lord Cochrane’s destruction of the French shipping in the Basque Roads, he proceeded with convoy to China. In July, 1812, having returned home, he accompanied Capt. Broughton into the Cornwall 74, commanded subsequently by Sir Edw. Tucker; with whom, and with Sir Jas. Lucas Yeo, he served, from March, 1813, until Oct. 1815, on board the Inconstant 36, on the Brazilian and Portsmouth stations. He shortly afterwards joined the Boyne 98, bearing the flag of Lord Exmouth; and, on being transferred with that gallant Admiral to the Queen Charlotte 100, he shared as Acting-Lieutenant, and was slightly wounded, in the battle of Algiers, 27 Aug. 1816.[1] He was in consequence confirmed in his present rank by commission dated on 5 of the ensuing Sept.; but he has not been since employed.
