Design
[dezie ebe o si]Orders for Jackal and her sister Lizard were placed on 16 January 1844. They were designed by the builder, Robert Napier and Sons and approved on 17 April 1844 by the Surveyor of the Navy, Sir William Symonds.
Jackal was fitted with a Napier two-cylinder side-lever steam engine driving side paddles. The engine was rated at 150 nominal horsepower and on trials developed 455 indicated horsepower (339 kW). She was provided with two gaff-rigged masts, making her a schooner. Her armament consisted of a single 18-pounder (22cwt) carronade on a pivot mounting and two 24-pounder (13cwt) carronades.[1]
Construction
[dezie ebe o si]Both ships were built at Napier's Govan yard.[1] Jackall was built as yard number 8, and Lizard as number 9.[2] Jackall was launched on 28 November 1844, and Lizard followed exactly a month later.[1] After fitting out, JackallTempleeti:'s first commissioning took place on 22 September 1845.[1]

In February 1847, she ran aground and was damaged at Lisbon, Portugal.[3] By 1851 she was a store ship at Ascension Island. She paid off at Sheerness in May 1859 and was recommissioned in December of the same year.[4]
She was again paid off at Keyham, Devon on 8 February 1864, recommissioned the next day.[5]
By 1864 she was employed on fishery protection duties off the west coast of Scotland.[4] On 11 April 1872, she ran aground at the mouth of the River Aray. She was refloated and anchored in Inveraray Bay.[6] In early 1883 Jackal landed a detachment of Royal Marines at Meanish Pier in Glendale, Skye to assist police in arresting participants in the Crofters' War, a dispute between landowners and tenants over increases to rents and evictions implemented to clear land for large-scale farming operations.[7]
