Sir Charles Prestwood Lucas, ‎Royal Empire Society, London - 1921

There was the Nigerian Government steam-yacht Ivy, under Commander Hughes : this was the flagship of the tiny fleet.1 There were two steam-tugs, the Balbus and the Walrus, the latter of which had been the property of the Woermann Company of Hamburg : these two vessels were selected specially for mine-sweeping, but at a later stage the Balbus was fitted up with three guns from the French warship Bruix

Noch ein Schlepper (powerful tug found in working order with crew on board)

 Verstehe ich richtig, dass die "Fullah" demnach von den Engländern nach Hebung armiert und als Vorpostenboot o.ä eingesetzt wurde?
