Detail  At Chilham, Henry Cobb, esq. late of the E.I.C. Service. He commanded the Company's ship Kent, of 1,400 tons, when she was destroyed by fire in the Bay of Biscay on the 1st of March, 1825, whilst conveying the 31st Reg. to India. His intrepidity and self-possession upon that trying occasion, through a course of exertion rarely equalled in either difficulty or duration, were the means, under Providence, of preserving some hundreds of valuable lives, and obtained for him the personal thanks of the Commander-in-Chief.
