He Attached to the "Boston" in 1846.89591 He was attached to the "Boston" after graduating from the Naval Academy in 1846, and was with her when she was wrecked at Eleuthera in the Bahamas on 15 March 1846. He took charge of the sick men from the wreck in the schooner "Volant." William Ordered to the Steamer "Scourge" in February 1847.89591 Participated in the bombardment and capture of Vera Cruz, as well as the engagements at Alvarado, Tuspan and Tabasco. During these operations, he sometimes had command of batteries and landing parties. He surveyor for the inter-oceanic canal and railroad between 1850 and 1852 in Mexico.89591 The proposed route was across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. He appointed to a board of survey in May 1863 in Key West, Monroe, FL.127805 The correspondence relating to this is as follows:

"US Flagship Magnolia,
"Key West, May 23, 1863.

"Gentlemen: It having been reported to me (verbally) that there is insufficient ice on board the supply steamer Bermuda to preserve the fresh beef put on board that vessel for distribution in this squadron and in the Western Gulf Blockading Squadron, you are hereby appointed a board of survey to examine into the causes which have led to this condition of affairs, to state the present condition of the brief, and to recommend what disposition (if any) can be made of it with a view to saving it for the use of the Government.
"You will report to me upon these several points in duplicate,
"Respectfully,
"Theodorus Bailey,
"Actg Rear Admiral, Comdg. East Gulf Blockading Squadron.
"Lieutenant-Commander W.G. Temple.
"Lieutenant-Commander C.J. McDougal.
"Acting Volunteer Lieutenant W.C. Rogers."

The board of survey acted quickly, responding that same day as follows:

"US Supply Steamer Bermuda,
"May 23, 1863.
"Sir: In obedience to the foregoing order we have examined into the circumstances therein referred to and have to report as follows:
"It seems that the beef packed in Philadelphia with some 175 tons of ice, but that in consequence of there being no proper ice house built in the vessel the warmth of the Gulf Stream has operated through the side of the vessel and has melted the ice so rapidly as to leave scarcely 10 tons remaining. There does not appear to have been any want of care on the part of the officers of the vessel in attending to its preservation. The beef still seems to be in good condition, but to preserve it immediate steps must be taken. Either ice must be purchased to repack it on board the vessel or it must be removed to an ice house on shore. The first course would cost over $7,000, and from the previous experience it would not last beyond Pensacola, and a large portion of the beef would then become spoiled for want of a fresh supply of ice. In the other case the cost would be trifling (the exact sum can not be estimated at present) and the entire amount of beef would probably be available for issue, not only to the Navy but to the Army. In the view of these considerations, we would recommend the latter expedient.
"Although not specially called upon to do so, we feel it a duty to represent the interests of the Government and the comfort of these two squadrons have been sacrificed by insufficient preparations of the vessel for the duty assigned her.
"Respectfully,
"W.G. Temple

His obituary, in The Evening Star, Friday, June 29, 1894:
Admiral Temple Dead -- Stricken by Apoplexy While Alone in His Room
Brief Sketch of His Long and Honorable Career in the United States Navy
Rear Admiral William G. Temple, United States navy, retired, died at his apartments at the Portland yesterday afternoon, about 5:30 o'clock from an attack of apoplexy, which first manifested itself about noon of the day before. He was stricken while alone in his room, and his condition was not discovered until an hour later, when a waiter went to his room with his luncheon. The admiral was lying on the floor in a comatose state and the waiter thought he was dead. He gave an alarm at once and Medical Director Wales of the navy, an intimate friend of the invalid was promptly on hand. A hasty examination showed him that the case was beyond medical aid, and he directed his efforts to easing the last hours of the invalid. Admiral Temple was unconscious when found, and remained in that condition up to the time of his death. Mr. Edward L. Temple, a nephew arrived home yesterday afternoon from Rutland, Vt., and will have charge of the funeral arrangements. The admiral had no family. His wife, who was a daughter of Gen. J.G. Totten, died nearly five years ago. No children resulted from the marriage. The nearest relatives are two nephews and two nieces -- Edward L. Totten, who resides at the old Temple homestead built in 1812, in Rutland, Vt., the admiral's birthplace. Arthur Temple, Alice Temple, and Mrs. John A. Mason of Chicago, Ill. A sister of his wife, Mrs. Charles H. Graves, and her husband of Duluth, Minn., have spent several winters during the last few years at the Portland.
An Excellent Naval Record
Admiral Temple has an excellent naval record. He was born at Rutland, Vt. in March, 1824 and entered the navy as a midshipman in 1840, graduating from the Naval Academy six years later. He was with the Boston when that vessel was wrecked in the Bahamas in 1846. He participated in the bombardment and capture of Vera Cruz in 1847, as an office of the steamer Scourge, and he took part also in the subsequent engagements at Alvarado, Tuspan and Tobasco, frequently commanding parties against the Mexican forces, and sometimes commanding batteries. Subsequently he assisted in the survey of the interoceanic railroad and canal across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and then took a cruise in the Pacific on the frigate Lancaster in 1860. By this time he had reached the rank of lieutenant and was placed in command of the steamer Flainbian at New York for a short time. He had a very active career during the late civil war. In July 1862, having reached the grade of lieutenant commander, he was detailed to command the gunboat Pembina in the western gulf blockading expedition and from November 1862 until September 1864, he was fleet captain of the eastern gulf blockading squadron. While on such duty he led a force of sailors in defense of the approaches of Washington, at the time when the capture of the city was seriously threatened by Gen. Early's brigade in July 1864. Admiral Temple commanded the steamer Pontoosuq from November 1864 to May 1865 and participated in the attack on Fort Fisher, the capture of Wilmington, the bombardments of forts on the James river and in the capture of Petersburg and Richmond. He became a full commander in March 1865, and commanded the steamer Tacony; attached to the North Atlantic squadron, until 1866, when he was detailed to four years' term of ordnance duty. He reached the grade of captain in 1870, and his career was comparatively uneventful until 1884, when he escorted King Kalakaua of the Hawaiian Islands on the occasion of his memorable visit to this country, for which service he subsequently received the decoration of knight commander of the Royal Order of Kamehameha I.
