Whilst in Portugal he undertook a laborious survey of the Douro and in 1848 produced a map of the Duoro River from Vilvestre on the Spanish Frontier to its origins at St Joao da Foz, its merit was universally recognised and commended. In 1844 he published an anonymous pamphlet on the wine trade of which eight editions were rapidly exhausted, these pamphlets were the first foundation stones enabling him to obtain a reform of the abuses practised in Portugal in the making and treatment of port wine. He died in May 1861 descending the Douro and was swamped in one of the rapids where he drowned, his body was never found.
