As Second Officer in the Company's ship VANESSA between 1872 and 1873, he participated in the laying of the duplicate Placentia-St.Pierre-Sydney cable. Late in 1873 he was Third and Navigating Officer in the Great Eastern, working on the cable from Valentia to Newfoundland. He subsequently commanded other cable ships, including the CHILTERN, which was employed in the Red Sea, 1883 to 1884.
