time with See also:Lord See also:Hood; at the end of the Seven Years' See also:War (1763) he took service with the See also:Hudson's See also:Bay See also:Company. In 1768 he examined portions of the Hudson's Bay coasts with a view to improving the See also:cod See also:fishery, and in 1769–1772 he was employed in See also:north-western See also:discovery, searching especially for certain See also:copper mines described by See also:Indians. His first See also:attempt (from the 6th of See also:November 1769) failed through the See also:desertion of his Indians; his second (from the 23rd of See also:February 1770) through the breaking of his quadrant; but in his third (See also:December 1770 to See also:June 1772) he was successful, not only discovering the copper of the See also:Coppermine See also:river See also:basin, but tracing this river to the See also:Arctic Ocean. He reappeared at Fort See also:Prince of See also:Wales on the 3oth of June 1772. Becoming See also:governor of this fort in 1775, he was taken prisoner by the See also:French under La Perouse in 1782. He returned to See also:England in 1787 and died there in 1792.
