Arica, in Peru, attacked by the Squadron of General Viranco, 1857. 'British Consul's House, H.M.S. Tribune, Peruvian Frigate - boats firing, Peruvian store-ships...Fortunately for the foreign residents her Majesty's ship Tribune, Captain Edgell, had called in on the 24th, and, learning the state of affairs, was proceeding to Islay when she fell in with the squadron, and steamed back in company. Her presence contributed in a great degree to the preservation of order after the town had fallen, whilst her medical staff were of great assistance to the wounded on both sides. Finding the town did not pronounce, the Peruvian frigate re-embarked her men'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
