Lawrence had been so efficiently done, that even with every officer above the midshipman either dead or dis- abled in the cock pit, even then the Board believed that had the cowardly Scotch bugler remained at his post, and given the customary "Boarders' Cal...l, " the boarders would have re- sponded, and Capt.
