Islay, in Peru, the Head-quarters of General Viranco, 1857. Creator: Unknown.

Islay, in Peru, the Head-quarters of General Viranco, 1857. 'H.M.S. Tribune, boats landing troops, Peruvian Squadron...At daylight, on the 27th, large bodies of troops were observed coming from Tama, the chief town of the department; and, as there was every appearance of a desperate struggle taking place, the ladies and foreigners were offered an asylum on board the British frigate which many accepted. After a long discussion the Peruvian Commandant agreed not to fire on the town if the troops did not advance, and he was allowed to take off coal and provisions. Owing to the exertions of Mr. Nugent, her Britannic Majesty's Consul, these terms were accepted, and much bloodshed was avoided. At night the troops marched in, and at noon next day the squadron sailed for Islay, to the great relief of the inhabitants'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
