Towards the end of his service in Buzzard, Edward Loney was lent out to the 6th rate sailing ship Eurydice, commissioned in April 1854 by Captain Erasmus Ommanney who served in her in the White Sea in 1854, but by then commanded by John Walter Tarleton on the North America and West Indies station.
Here is a list of the ships principal commissioned officers during this period (from the Navy List; not yet checked with the ship's muster book for exact dates); Edward Loney was not actually carried on the books of Eurydice during the period he served in this ship.
