How well did Beresford handle HMS Condor?

Did Beresford handle HMS Condor well during the bombardment of Alexandria?

Yes: he kept the gunboat close enough to the forts to exploit their firing limits and helped silence them, although the position was assigned and the gunnery officer then directed the shooting.

Beresford handled Condor's close position effectively at Alexandria. The position limited the fort's ability to hit the gunboat while allowing her to fire back. It was an assigned position, and the gunnery officer directed the subsequent shooting. Credit for the action therefore includes the orders Beresford received and the work of his officers.
