Biography[]
This man was a sailor who worked on the SS Venture. He was hired by Carl Denham along with the rest of the crew to sail to Singapore (not knowing that the ship was actually sailing to Skull Island). He helped the rest of the crew throwing most of the ship's cargo overboard in order to keep the Venture from sinking. He later went with Denham, Jack Driscoll, Ben Hayes, Jimmy, Lumpy, Choy, Bruce Baxter, Herb, and fourteen others on an expedition to look for Ann Darrow. The sailor later ran with his party when a stampede of Brontosaurus occurred and was crushed against a wall by one of the large dinosaurs' legs killing him instantly. In addition to that his corpse is dragged along the wall by the dinosaurs' huge leg. He's the second sailor of the Rescue Party to die and fifth to die on the expedition.
