The name Tamana is still to be found at a small place ten miles up the river.

Here Brown brought his squadron on the 18th October.
The usual desultory and harmless bombardment followed; the _Phram_ and the bombketch being equally inefficient.

Then, when Brown suggested a landing party to storm the place, the officers refused to second him, and so, with some additional loss, the attack on Deoghur came to an end.

Not a word is said as to any assistance rendered by the Kempsant.

At daybreak on the 21st, the whole squadron sailed northward, but the tale of Brown's incompetency was not complete.
A little before noon next morning four strange sails were seen in the offing, which, before long, were made out to be the dreaded Madagascar pirates, with the _Cassandra_, _Victory_, and two prizes they had just taken.
