 , and entered the navy in 1846. After being employed for some time on the Australian station, in 1852 he became
mate
  of the " Resolute " in the. Arctic expedition which was sent out in that year. Serving in the Crimea upon his return, he was appointed
lieutenant
  in charge of the naval cadets on the inauguration of the " Britannia " training ship, and was then employed in surveying
work
  on the N.E.
coast
  of Australia and in the Mediterranean, attaining the rank of captain in 1869. While in command of the " Challenger " (18721874), in the famous voyage of deep-sea exploration round the world, he was ordered
home
