3 April 1759
I was this day appointed one of the Agents to the Danae prize taken by Captain Gilchrist in sight of other of our Ships, in which the brave Captain was terribly wounded, but in reward for his great services, he having behaved most nobly in many other engagements, King George the second settled a pension of £300 a year upon him in addition to his whole or half pay, and directed that all his expenses for the cure of his wounds should be paid and that he should be allowed a year’s wages also which altogether amounted to upwards of £800, as he lay many months at Yarmouth and was attended by surgeon etc from London by the King’s express order.

Two thirds of the Ball and cup of his shoulder bone being shot away by a cannon ball, of which wound he languished (tho’ to appearance healed up, with the loss of the use of his arm) about two years, and died at his house called Ansfield near Hamilton in Scotland. And in regard to his service and gallant behaviour I got his good worthy wife a pension of £100 per annum. He was as honest and as good a man as I ever knew
