X 759, Sir Hugh pronouncing him qualified, hg
Was appointed master of the Mercury,and join
ed the fleet under Sir Ch. Saunders at the me
morable siege of Quebec. On this occafion,tho'
he had scarcely ever before used a pencil, he con
trived, partly in the face of the enemy, to make
a chart of the channel and soundings of the river
St. Lawrence, which is cfieemed so accurate,
that no other has ever been published.
December 21,1762, he married Miss Eliza
beth Batts, of Barking, in Essex; and, from
1763 to 1,67, was chiefly employed by gov
, ernment, as marine surveyor of Newfoundland
and Labrador ; where hemadc such progress
in science, that his ingenious observation of an
eclipse of the fun, at Newfoundland, August 5;
1766, communicated to the Royal Society, was
printed in the Philosophical Tranfeaions.
A NOBLE yx^g man of the family of
Howard, who had in health too
rack yielded to the temptations of youth,
when laid upon afek bed, which proved bis
dying bed, fell under the power and agony
of strong convictions. In the remembrance
of bis former extravagances, he deeply be
wailed bis condition, and cried eafneftly to
God toforgivehim,abhorring bisfafulcourfe
of life, and promising amendment if it
Jhould please him to r^ore bis health. Hut
having, after a great conflict of mind, taft
cd of tlx: love and forgiveness of God, be be
came willing to die; and warned bis ac
quaintance and Cmdred, who came to fee
him, "to fear God, and to forfake the
pleasures and vanities of this world :"—
Jud thus, in hope of the divine mercy and
favour in a better life, be yielded up bis fail
toHiM that gave it, and was delivered
fam the troubles of time, and the frailties
of mortality.
