| Description |
English: The Bulldog and Starling intercepting trading vessels. Illustration for The Illustrated London News, 8 September 1855. THE '" BULLDOG " AND STARLING" INTERCEPTING RUSSIAN TRADING VESSELS. The engraving in page 284 represents the gun-boats Bulldog and Starling briskly engaged in routing a large body of Russian troops, a small peninsula at the head of the bay near Dukeorsk Point, in the Baltic. The latter had been placed there to protect the coasting trade of the locality; and, as the object of the Allies was to put down that trade as effectually as possible. the two gun-boats found it necessary to adopt offensive measures against the protecting force. The Russians who occupied the rising ground to the left. made an attempt at resistance for a short time; but the fire of the Bulldog and Starling, very soon made both horse and foot take to their heels. All they gained by their show of opposition was the causing several houses to be destroyed by the fire of the gun-boats. |
