At the same time he continued a naval career, advancing to Premier Lieutenant in 1900 and Captain in 1903. From 1913 to 1923 he was an attorney in the Royal Norwegian Navy, from 1924 to 1925 he was a legal consultant and from 1925 to 1935 he headed the quartermaster corps of the Royal Norwegian Navy with the rank of Commander.[1]
