He still is. He had driven himself mercilessly, and his men likewise, and yet the surgeon's mate on the 'Resolution' was able to write: 'In every situation he stood unrivalled and alone; on him all eyes were turned; he was our leading star, which a its setting left us involved in darkness and despair'.
