Under Captain Barnett on this ship he served for the next four years, making three voyages round the world, and while still on his last voyage as an apprentice, was gazetted Midshipman, R.N.R., 1 April, 1911.

He sailed at once for the East, and soon after his arrival in Calcutta was promoted Third Officer and transferred to s.s. Ellenga, and in the summer of 1912, was again promoted, this time to R.M.S. Kaurthala, one of the large mail boats running between Calcutta, Rangoon and Singapore. In the spring of 1913, he joined the s.s.
