He had been in H.M.S. Woodcock since 12 February 1925, and the ship’s log confirms his drowning in the River Yangtse: "Friday 14 January 1927 at Paiyuchi Pagoda. 01.30. Tug Chu Chow and launch Kingfisher made fast alongside from down river. Reported accidental death by drowning of Albert William Treadwell, C.E.R.A. o/n M 714, Scotch, aged 39 years, who was found to be missing from launch Kingfisher at 17.50 on 13 January off Pai Ja Chi Pagoda when on passage down river to meet S.S. Sianghan, he having been seen on deck at 17.45." H.M.S. Woodcock had been operating between Changsha and Jung Jing Lake and was engaged in the evacuation of British women and children from Changsha. 18 women, 2 men and 13 children were transferred to S.S. Sianghan at 09.25 on 14 January 1927. His death was reported in the Motherwell Times of 21 January 1927, under the headline “Drowned in Chinese Waters: It is with deep regret we learn of the death in service last week, in Chinese waters, of Chief Petty Officer Albert William Treadwell, E.R.A. He was the elder son of the late Sergeant-Instructor James Treadwell, who was well known to the old Volunteers of Motherwell and district. Deceased had served in the Navy for nineteen years and was due to retire on a good pension in two years’ time. He saw service in the West Indies, during the rising in Nicaragua, and went through the Great War unscathed. His thrilling tales of the sinking of the “Koningen Louise,” the fighting off Heligoland and the Great Jutland Battle will long be remembered by his hearers, in his younger days he was a staff-sergeant in No. 3 Company of the Boys’ Brigade, attached to Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, with which he and his family were closely connected; and was an enthusiast in local Y.M.I. affairs. He was also a Master Freemason in his port town of Chatham. His death in his country’s service cuts short a splendid career. He was in his forty-first year, and leaves a widow and two daughters. The deceased was known to a wide circle of people in Motherwell, was born and brought up in Windmill Hill Street, and as boy attended Whamond’s School and Glencairn School. Fuller details are awaited as to how P.O, Treadwell met his death. The only news received present has been through Admiralty channels, which simply intimates that met his end by drowning a week ago, on the 13th January.” Sold with copied record of service.
