Biography
Dunne was one of Temeraire's riflemen. Laurence described him and Donnell, while they were still at the Loch Laggan covert, as "still" having some difficulty in finding the target but at least being quick in reloading.
Dunne was pleased when Temeraire and his crew moved to the Dover covert in the summer of 1805. He spoke a bit too freely with Collins about his intentions to enjoy the pleasures of Dover and was chastened by Laurence for it.
Dunne had long, thin hands, and his dexterity suffered due to the cold during the Battle of Dover.
Dunne was wounded during the Valerie engagement as he journeyed to China with Temeraire and his crew in late 1805.
He was one of the ten crew members chosen to accompany Temeraire and Laurence to Peking, along with Granby, Keynes, Riggs, Therrows, Hackley, Blythe, Martin, Willoughby and Digby. (Emily Roland and Peter Dyer also went, on George Staunton's advice. As they were children, they were not counted against the limit of ten set by Prince Yongxing.)
In Istanbul, Dunne and Hackley got into serious trouble when they tried to see the women of the Sultan's harem. They were each flogged and removed from the flight crew for their actions.
