Engagement between the "Bourbonnais" Neapolitan steam-frigate and the ship-gun battery, Faro, August 23 - from a sketch by our special artist, 1860. On the 22nd of August the Borbone, a large Neapolitan screw-steamer, passed the Faro. She hoisted the French flag, and under its protection came close to the batteries raised at Faro by the Garibaldians, when she opened with a broadside, which killed two men and wounded five, not in the batteries, but in the village of Faro. Previous to firing she hauled down the French and hoisted the Neapolitan flag. The batteries, although thrown off their guard, answered, but could make only little impression, as the Borbone steamed down with the full force of her machinery and of the current. The next day she came up again, killing one man and wounding three; but, without passing the Straits, she returned to cruise below Reggio...[View taken] while the action was going on in the ship-gun battery, in which are mounted two of the Veloce's 64-pounders, served by seamen. The engagement was pretty sharp while it lasted, although the Borbone kept well off, and did not seem inclined to go in for anything but long shots'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860
