STRONG. (Lieutenant, 1846.)

Charles Burrough Strong is nephew of the late Capt. C. B. Strong, R.N.

This officer passed his examination 25 Nov. 1839; and on his return from the North America and West India station, where he had been serving as Mate in the Racehorse 18, Capt. John Coghlan Fitzgerald, was appointed in that capacity, towards the close of 1841, to the Queen 110, fitting for the flag of Sir Edw. W. C. R. Owen, Commander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean, where he continued employed as Lieutenant (commission dated 26 Dec. 1842) until about Jan. 1844; when he was sentenced by court-martial to be dismissed his ship, and to lose two years’ service, for having twice absented himself without leave. His seniority now dates from 11 Jan. 1846. Agent – Joseph Woodhead.
