His first mate was Edward Low. Not much is known about him before becoming the second mate on the slave ship, Gambia Castle, which was under the command of Captain Charles Russell; however, Lowther was more popular with the crew, as Russell seemed to care more about his shipment of slaves than for his men. Russell distrusted Lowther, and when he attempted to have him flogged, many crew members took Lowther's side and defended him, causing a schism among the crew.
