"subjected to the spectacle of Georgian London". The intention was both to show off the Imperial city and to show off them, the Inuit family, to the curious and consumer eyes of London society. In May, 1773, Cartwright and Atajug's family started the journey home. However, before they had even left the Thames, Qavvik fell ill with smallpox. Three weeks later Atajuq, Ikkanguaq, Ikiunaq and Tuglavingaaq had all died. Qavvik lived, returning to Labrador. Nearly a year later, Cartwright noted the devastation that followed Qavvik's return. "The Inuit of southern Labrador were almost entirely wiped out by the disease". Later life in England In 1786, Cartwright returned to England. He published his diary in 1792 and continued to be interested in the politics and business of Labrador. He was barracks master of the Nottingham Militia from some time during the Napoleonic Wars until 1817. He died in 1819 in Mansfield, England. He had an unparalleled love for Labrador until his death – as is shown, for example, in his lengthy and somewhat tedious piece of verse, of which this is a small extract: Fish, Fowl and Ven’son now our tables grace: Roast Beaver too, and ev’ry Beast of Chase. Luxurious living this! who'd wish for more? Were Quin alive, he'd haste to Labrador! Cartwright died at Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. At Cartwright, Labrador, there is a substantial monument commemorating him and his brother John. Part of the inscription reads: "In Memory of George Cartwright, Captain in his Majesty's 37th Regiment of Foot ... who in March 1770 made a settlement on the coast of Labrador ... also of John Cartwright, Lieutenant of the Guernsey ...".
