[appears to be really Lambert]
LAMB, James - was appointed commander of the Ann yacht in 1661; in 1664 of the Happy Return; and in the following year of the Ann, a third rate of fifty-six guns He was slain soon afterwards, according to a note in the margin of the navy list, "in a fight with some Dutch Ships." But, as after the best investigation, no satisfactory account can be obtained of the circumstances attending it, it is not improbable it happened in the unfortunate attack on the Dutch ships, in Berghen.
