In 1657, following notice on 9 October, White was sent by the Council of State to Fort-Mardyck to take charge of matters there and was lost at sea on the return journey. On 7 December 1657, Admiral Richard Stayner reported that the Half Moon had arrived from Mardyke but the accompanying pink containing White and Sir John Reynolds had been lost and a trunk washed up containing White's personal letters. White had gone in the pink against advice and was lost about the Goodwin Sands. John Thurloe wrote the "loss is to be much lamented, they being very worthy persons and of great use." (en)
