He served on the revenue cutter The Raven. After a ‘party of pleasure’ he was walking along the docks, ‘the night being pitchy dark and tempestuous’ he was blown over ‘the brink’ and drowned before his fellow officers could reach him.*

He must have been a very popular young man as his death prompted an enormous funeral. ‘ Throughout the early part of the day the carriages and cars of the neighbouring families were pouring in, so that at about three o’clock the streets were crowded to excess. ‘In the principal streets, through which the sad and mournful funeral was to pass, there was a general suspension of business, and all the shops were closed, while the windows of every house were crammed with the rank, beauty and fashion of the town and neighbourhood for many miles around.’
