The Abyssinian Expedition: H.M.S. Argus towing tugs and lighters to Massowah, 1868. British Royal Navy warship with supplies for the invading army. Engraving from a sketch by Mr. Ernest Kinder, midshipman, of H.M.S. Argus, showing '...that ship, under Commander Hallowes, towing a steam-tug, a steam-lighter, and three other lighters, on their way from Bombay to the port of Aden...The bad steering of the Indian boys in the lighters caused the towing-hawsers to be carried away four times, but they were soon recovered by a cutter's crew sent from the ship'. From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
