43 Major-Gen. Chesney was employed, from 1829 to 1832, in examining the principal
parts of Western Asia; during which time, assisted only by a few Arabs, he descended
the river Euphrates upon a Raft; and his reports to Government led to a Parliamentary
vote to extend our commercial relations in that quarter, and open a communication with
India through Arabia. His Majesty, through the Duke of Wellington, having conferred
on him the rank of Colonel on a particular service, he sailed early in 1835 with a detach¬
ment of artillery, another of sappers, a proportion of seamen, and thirteen military and
naval officers; with whose assistance Colonel Chesney accomplished the extraordinary
achievement of transporting two iron steam vessels across Syria, and floating them in a
perfect state on the Upper Euphrates, not very far from Aleppo. In the early part of the
navigation thus commenced, a fearful hurricane carried the smaller vessel and twenty of
her men to the bottom, Colonel Chesney and eight otliers being saved by swimming. The
Commander, however, persevered ; and in the remaining vessel he not only completed the
surveys of the river Euphrates, Tigris, and Kareen, but continued the undertaking until it
was turned over in the following year to the East India Company. His late Majesty
