This young officer, a midshipman of Captain Peel's ship, took example
from the conduct of his noble chief, and vied with him in feats of
daring. In Captain Peel's battery there was a call for volunteers to
bring in powder to the battery from a waggon in a very exposed
situation, a shot having disabled the horses. Instantly Mr Daniels
sprang forward, and, followed by others, performed the dangerous
service. At the battle of Inkermann he followed his captain as his
aide-de-camp through the terrific fire of that eventful day. Again, on
the 18th of June, he accompanied Captain Peel when he led the
ladder-party in the assault on the Redan. Together they approached the
deadly breach, when Captain Peel was struck in the arm, and might have
bled to death, had not young Daniels remained by him on the glacis under
a terrific fire, and with admirable devotion and perfect coolness
applied a tourniquet to his arm, not leaving him till he was able to
gain a less exposed position.
