Duntze, stationed in the Pacific, whence he returned to England, in the course of the same year, in the Sapphire 28, Capt. Henry Dundas. His next appointments were, 28 Feb. and 29 July, 1831, to the Windsor Castle 76, Capt. Hon. Duncombe Pleydell Bouverie, and Dublin 50, Capt. Lord Jas. Townshend, in which ships he served in the Mediterranean and again in South America until ordered home for the purpose of being paid off in 1834. He was promoted to his present rank on 13 Oct. in that year; and has since been on half-pay.
