Lubbock was admitted to hospital shortly after the incident. After the war ended in 1902 he returned to England. On 13 March 1903, he arrived New York aboard the White Star liner Germanic on route to Canada. In 1903, he signed on as a crewman on the full-rigged iron-hulled saling ship Commonwealth.
