The CBE in original case of issue, with ribbon, others loose mounted for wearing, extremely fine.

However, his age (born in 1868) suggests he held some administrative position in the UK rather than a sea command and the lack of any Victory Medal supports this view.

ORDERS, DECORATIONS AND MILITARY MEDALS, Singles, Indian Mutiny Medal, 1857-1858, to Lieut A G Evered, 54th Foot, no clasp, with ribbon. Cleaned, almost extremely fine. Andrew Robert Guy Evered, 54th (West Norfolk) Regiment was commissioned as Ensign on 15 March 1850 into the 1st Dragoon Guards and transferred to the 54th on 3 January 1851. He was promoted Lieutenant on 11 August 1854 and Captain on 19 November 1858 during the Indian Mutiny. His regiment embarked for India at Portsmouth on 15 August 1857 aboard the SS Sarah Sands. The SS Sarah Sands was only the second screw propeller driven steamship (after the Great Eastern) in the world. Built as a sailing ship, she had two coal-powered engines. She was chartered by the Royal Navy to take the 54th of Foot to India as reinforcements for fighting the so-called Indian Mutiny. On board were Royal Navy officers and sailors, with Captain Castles as the ship's master. There were also more than 700 soldiers under the command of Lt Colonel Bolam Moffatt and, crucially, a number of women and children, wives and partners, and the Colonel's family. On 11 November 1857, the Sarah Sands was in the middle of the Indian Ocean, 800 miles from land, when fire broke out in the hold. The crew, fearing that the gunpowder on board would explode, abandoned ship. The soldiers of the 54th showed great bravery by throwing the gunpowder kegs overboard, and getting the women and children on board the lifeboats. The final act of courage came when it was realised that the regimental colours were still on board the burning ship: soldiers went back and rescued the colours and put out the fire. The badly damaged Sarah Sands arrived in Mauritius ten days later.

ORDERS, DECORATIONS AND MILITARY MEDALS, Singles, Hamburg, Silver Award Medal for lifesaving, by G Loos and Bubert, given by the Senate of Hamburg to Captain Nivert for his part in the rescue of 67 passengers of the Hamburg-Amerika Line steamship Austria, Hamburgia with mural crown, rev wreath and city arms, engraved in centre in nine lines Dem Capitain H. C. NIVERT für die Rettung von 67 Paßsagieren DER AUSTRIA DER Senat V. Hamburg 13 Nov 1858, 53mm. Lightly polished, otherwise nearly extremely fine. The Austria was built for Hamburg-Amerika Line by Caird & Co of Greenock in 1857. She was first chartered for the Indian Mutiny, but her engines broke down twice and she returned to port on both occasions. Her debut on the North Atlantic came 2 September 1858 when she sailed from Hamburg carrying poor German and Hungarian emigrants. The total of passengers and crew was 538. On 13 September the Ship’s Surgeon ordered the steerage to be fumigated. At 2.00pm the fourth officer and a seaman went below with a bucket of tar and a red hot chain. When the chain was put in the bucket to make smoke, the tar unfortunately caught fire and the seaman dropped the chain, upsetting the bucket. In a short space of time the ship was well ablaze. 60 survivors were picked up by the French barque Maurice from one lifeboat. The other seven were rescued by a Norwegian ship. Captain Nivert’s contribution to the rescue is unclear.
