Warriors fighting on the stone base of a beacon, men climbing up the post from which a burning basket is hanging, the highest holding a torch to it; in the foreground, a man, stripped to the waist and seen from behind, raises a flail with one right hand and seizes a spear with the other, which a prone opponent also grasps, another man about to strike the first with an axe; more men trying to climb up from a lower level at right, a ladder being removed; cliffs, sea and ships in the distance to right; after the cartoon by Townsend submitted to the Westminster Hall exhibition of 1843.  1847
