H Hawkes, Commander R.N. HM Brig Camilla was lost in a typhoon in the China seas on her voyage to Japan, 1860.
In the four or five years since leaving Plymouth, it is likely that at least some of the officers would have left the ship in one way or another - we know from the obituary for example that Commander Colville himself Captained HMS Niger before returning to HMS Camilla during this time.
The distressing loss of her Majesty's ship Camilla, with all hands on board, in a typhoon off the coast of Japan, is already known to the public.
