A mere three days later, he moved over to become Lieutenant & Commander of C 17. This command would last until 27 September, 1913.[3]

In December, 1916, the Admiralty expressed its appreciation of the "very satisfactory manner in wh. he carried out duties in Russian Waters" during October and November 1916.
