East African Slave Trade: recent conflicts with slave dhows, from sketches by our special artist, Mr. J. Bell - Sunday morning service on board the steam-pinnace of H.M.S. London, 1881. 'Much regret was felt, last week, at the news received by the Admiralty through a telegram from Zanzibar, reporting that on the 3rd December Captain C. J. Brownrigg, of H.M.S. London, in a steam-pinnace, with ten men ran alongside a dhow full of slaves, flying French colours and that, after a fierce resistance by the Arab crew, Captain Brownrigg, John G. T. Aers, writer, Richard Henry Monkley, stoker, and Thomas Bishop, ordinary seaman, were killed; one man severely and two slightly wounded...One of the Special Artists of this Journal, Mr. J. Bell...made the Sketches of H.M.S. London [and] her steam-pinnace...We received these Sketches from Mr. Bell, some days before the publication of the Admiralty telegram announcing the disastrous affair of the 3rd December'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
