 * "Commander Brownrigg took charge of and conducted the operations in
  connection with dealing with fires and repairs to damage by shell. He was
  continually in positions of greatest danger, and where the conditions were
  most trying to the nerves. His example inspired all those under him, and he
  was largely instrumental in keeping the ship in effective fighting condition
  to the end of the action, notwithstanding the severe damage from shell fire."
