Personal Info
He entered the navy. In 1806 he had attained the rank of captain, and was in command of H.M.S. Greyhound. On 26 July in that year he captured, after a brilliant engagement, three Dutch vessels in the Java seas, for which he received the thanks of the Admiralty, and a presentation sword from the patriotic fund at Lloyd's was prepared for him. Before he received this, however, on his way home from India on H.M.S. Blenheim, he perished in a storm.5
