[25] General Patrick Yule (b. 1795, d. 1873) was a thorough soldier, with the repute of being a rigid disciplinarian. He was a man of distinguished presence, and great charm of manner to those whom he liked, which were by no means all. The present writer holds him in affectionate remembrance, and owes to early correspondence with him much of the information embodied in preceding notes. He served on the Canadian Boundary Commission of 1817, and on the Commission of National Defence of 1859, was prominent in the Ordnance Survey, and successively Commanding R.E. in Malta and Scotland. He was Engineer to Sir C. Fellows’ Expedition, which gave the nation the Lycian Marbles, and while Commanding R.E. in Edinburgh, was largely instrumental in rescuing St. Margaret’s Chapel in the Castle from desecration and oblivion. He was a thorough Scot, and never willingly tolerated the designation N.B. on even a letter. He had cultivated tastes, and under a somewhat austere exterior he had a most tender heart. When already past sixty, he made a singularly happy marriage to a truly good woman, who thoroughly appreciated him. He was the author of several Memoirs on professional subjects. He rests in St. Andrew’s, Gulane. [26] Collinson’s _Memoir of Yule_. [27] Notes on the Iron of the Khasia Hills and Notes on the Khasia Hills and People, both in Journal of the R.

Was twice Governor of Bombay and once Governor of the Cape: “A diplomatist of the true English stamp—undaunted in difficulties and resolute to maintain the honour of his country.” (Sir H. B. Edwardes, _Life of Henry Lawrence_, i. 267). He died in 1889. [29] Note by Yule, communicated by him to Mr. R. B. Smith and printed by the latter in _Life of Lord Lawrence_.
