When His Royal Highness the Duke of York made his naval tour, Mr. Turner was an officer on board the Centurion man of war, and attended his Highness to Lisbon Gibraltar, Minorca, and several ports in Italy; and went to Algiers with a present from the Duke, where he acted so much to his Highness's satisfaction, that he made Mr Turner a present of an elegant sword, and frequently expressed his wishes to serve him in any manner that could contribute to his advancement. At the conclusion of the war Mr Turner come home second Lieutenant of the Centurion, and his noble patron being dead, entered into a branch of the sugar trade.' He became a sugar refiner.
