Her husband was appointed by Sir Francis Wheeler to command one of the boats and was killed in action. You are directed to inquire into the matter and if you find what is stated to be true, make an allowance to the Petitioner and her children according to His Majesty's Establishment of Bounty to the Widows and Children of Seamen Slain in Fight.
