feamen, Charts of the Swin, North Sea, é&c. 
made from furveys by hinfelf, and efteemed 
the beft of their kind. We was a native of 
Loweftoft, where he refided the early part of 
his life; after which he removed to London, 
and had the command of various fhips, He 
was particularly noticed by the late Earl 
Howe in the affair in Cancaile-bay, inthe 
year 1758, for the fpirited and judicious 
manner in which he liid the tranfport he 
commanded on fhore, amid the fire of the 
enemy, to land the troops he had on board. 
About 25 years of the latter part of h's life, 
hie wasa a erase at Elf@neur, in Denmark, 
during which time he rendered many import- 
ant fervices to his countrymen, in venturing 
in open boats, in gales of wind, to them in 
diftrefs. He was perfeAly mafter of the na- 
vigation of moft parts, and of the Baltic and 
€attazat Seas efpecially 3 the latter of which

vilege (which no other fubj<& of Deamark

Copenhagen, without being ftopped by the 
zuftom-hovfe. His advice in nautical affairs 
swes often afked by perfons of the firft emi- 
rence in that kins dom. He was particalar- 
dy noticed by the minifter Guldberg, and Ad- 
miiral Count Molcke frequently viiited him 
éor information. He was very affiduous in 
getting the Danifh government to improve 
the navigation of thofe parts ; and was anxi- 
ous in procuring the eftablifament of a light 
upon the north end of Bernholm, the want of 
which bas caufed the lofs of many lives 5 and 
had, at laft, the fatisfaction of feeing it fixed. 
He Jeft Denmark about two years ago, to re- 
turn to his native country ; and, latterly, fix- 
ed kis refidence at h's native place, whcre he 
ended a long and vigorous life, devoted always 
to the benefit of menkind, and preferring, 
at all times, the weifare of otheis to his own.
