Ellis met Joseph Banks and gave him some of his drawings, hoping to be remunerated. Owing to financial difficulties, Ellis took up an offer to write an account of Cook's third voyage, published in 1782. However, due to a breach of terms in the contract, Ellis was not paid for the book's sales.
In 1785, he left to join the ''Queen Charlotte'' on a voyage to northwest America. On this voyage, Ellis had an accident at Ostend, Belgium, falling from the mast of the ''Queen Charlotte''. Ellis died from these injuries. Provided by Wikipedia
