Cavendish was part of a raid on Frank Fontaine's smuggling operations in Neptune's Bounty in 1956 during which several constables were drowned by a submerging fishing vessel. Later in 1958 Cavendish led a large assault on Fontaine's smugglers' on the wharf in Neptune's Bounty. During the ensuing battle with the Splicers, Cavendish killed Reggie, who had undergone surgery to look like Fontaine. The constables were forced to retreat under heavy fire from Fontaine's forces, giving them no chance to check the body.
