'At a very early hour on Saturday morning the troops were astir, breaking up their encampment and preparing to go on board. General Baraguey d'Hilliers arrived at the quay before eight o'clock, and conversed for some time with Captain Lefebvre, R.N., of her Majesty's steamer Dasher, to whom the arrangements for embarking the troops by means of a fleet of steamers, had been entrusted...This large fleet of steam-ships had been engaged with the object of precluding delay and confusion, and of effecting the embarkation in one comprehensive movement...Shortly before one o'clock the signal was given, and the different companies stepped on board the transports...'.
