Sir Humphrey Fleming Senhouse, on the coast of China, was blown up and severely wounded by the springing of one of the enemy’s mines in the attack upon Chuenpee 7 Jan. 1841.[1] Being recommended for his conduct on that occasion, he was promoted, 6 May following, to the rank of Lieutenant, and appointed, 28 of the same month, to the Wellesley 72, Commodore Sir Jas. John Gordon Bremer. After he left that ship he joined, in Aug. 1841 and Nov. 1842, the Pylades 18, Capt. Louis Symonds Tindal, and Cornwallis 72, bearing the flag of Sir Wm. Porker, both on the East India station; where he was nominated, 6 May, 1843, Acting-Commander of the Wolf 18. In her (his promotion being confirmed 28 Aug. ensuing) he continued until Dec. 1844. He has since been on half-pay.
