BOGLE. (Retired Commander, 1844. f-p., 13; h-p., 33.)
Vere Warner Hussey Bogle, born 19 July, 1787, is first cousin of the late Admiral Sir Rich. Hussey Bickerton, Bart., K.C.B., and of the late Vice-Admiral Sir Rich. Hussey Hussey, K.C.B., their mothers being sisters.
This officer entered the Navy, 30 Aug. 1801, as Fst.-cl. Vol., oil board the Tartar 32, Capt. Jas. Walker, with whom, on proceeding to the West Indies, he joined, as Midshipman, in April, 1802, the Vanguard 74; and, in that ship, during the year 1803, he assisted at the capture, besides a variety of smaller vessels, of Le Duquesne 74, and La Créole of 44 guns, with the French General, Morgan, and 530 troops on board; and he also witnessed the surrender of the town of St. Marc, St. Domingo; the garrison of which place, amounting to about 1100 men, were brought off by the Vanguard and her prizes to rescue them from the vengeance of the black General Dessalines. Returning home with Capt. Walker in Sept. 1804, on board the Duquesne, Mr. Bogle, in the following month, became attached to the Active 38, commanded by his relative Capt. R. H. Moubray, under whom we find him employed for some time in blockading the French force in Toulon; and, after his return to England with the despatches announcing its escape, accompanying the expedition of 1807 to the Dardanells, where the Active bore a very distinguished part in the destruction of the Turkish squadron. Mr. Bogle, who soon afterwards came home in the Bergère sloop, Capt. G. B. Whinyates, was promoted, immediately on passing his examination, to a Lieutenancy, on 2 Sept. in the same year, in the Prince George 98. That ship being, however, paid off before he could join, he was next appointed, on 23 of the ensuing October, to the Proserpine 32, Capt. Chas. Otter, stationed off the port of Toulon. While thus employed, the Proserpine, on the morning of 28 Feb. 1809, was attacked, and, in spite of a noble resistance, in which she lost 1 man killed and 10 wounded, captured, by the two French 40-gun frigates Pénélope and Pauline. In consequence of this disaster, Lieut. Bogle, in common with the other officers and men, was ultimately taken to Verdun, where he was detained, a prisoner en parole, until May, 1814. Not having been since employed, he accepted, on 11 Jan. 1844, the rank he now holds.
Commander Bogle married, 14 Oct. 1822, Alice, only daughter of Thos. Brown, Esq.
