Dundas was promoted to Midshipman and discharged to join the Saturn along with
Captain Lord Beauclerk.
Thomas Laurence Dundas obtained his Master's certificate in Feb. 1810.
In 1813 Thomas joined the Bold which was shipwrecked in the Gulf of St.
Lawrence and Thomas suffered injury.

William John Dundas was remembered by Doctor Barnado whom he had taught at St. Patrick's" as the most cruel man as well as the most mendacious that I have ever in all my life met. He seemed to take a savage delight in beating his boys". It was to remain on his mind forever and tempered his own personality and his treatment of children.
