He refused the offer of a high command in the Confederate service, applied for active duty, and was assigned to the command of the gunboat "Commmodore Perry," with which vessel he took part in the attack by Com. Goldsborough that preceded the capture of Roanoke island on 7 February 1862. In October he took part in the shelling of Franklin, Virginia, and afterward-commanded the "Perry" in the North Carolina waters. He was killed while in command of the gunboat "Miami" in battle with the ironclad "Albemarle " in Roanoke River.
