With his family going through financial troubles the only way to get there was in signing up to His Majesty’s Royal Navy as a chief surgeon. The work was plentiful but young Clark wished to expand upon his knowledge, seeking to travel to the Colonies further afield where new afflictions arose to be combatted.
