List of Officers: Captain John Crawford,
(date of commission) April 3, 1828. On Furlough. |
| |
4th of January 1833, Sir Charles Malcolm,
accompanied by his wife and child, proceeded in the 'Elphinstone'
commanded by Captain Rose, to the Cape for the benefit of his health,
and was absent for more than a year. During his absence Captain
John Crawford, Master-attendant, officiated as Superintendent,
and President of the Board of Health, an office held by the former
functionary. |
| |
During Sir Charles Malcolm's
absence the Master-Attendant was removed from the active list, |
| |
and a Comptroller of the Dockyard
established, Captain Cogan being appointed to the office. New
regulations were issued by Captain Crawford, the Acting-Superintendent,
for the more efficient control of the dockyard and other establishments
at Bombay, and, after they had been in operation for one year,
under the superintendence of Commander Cogan, the Comptroller,
that officer issued a report addressed to Sir Charles Malcolm,
dated the 26th of December 1834, as to the great reductions
that had been made, without sacrificing the efficiency of these
establishments - - -

Captain John Crawford officiated as
Superintendent until March, 1834, when he proceeded to England,
* embarking in the 'Tigris' for Cossier. |
| |
*Captain Crawford died in England
on November the 10th, 1843. He was only less distinguished as
a surveyor than Captain Ross, and was worthy of being ranked
with his brother officers, Captains M'Cluer and Court.
