	Smith returned to the colonies in 1754. Intending to meet with Wardrop at an encampment on [[Terra Nova]], Smith refitted his schooner, the ''[[Equitas]]''. At this time, he was pursued by Shay and his fellow Assassins [[Liam O'Brien]] and [[Louis-Joseph Gaultier, Chevalier de la Vérendrye]], who acted on information from the spy [[Le Chasseur]]. Not wishing to lose the box, the Assassins were careful not to sink the ''Equitas''.		Smith returned to the colonies in 1754.

	Despite this, the ''Morrigan'' evaded the oil, and Shay went after Smith. In the refuge of his camp, Smith attempted to dissuade Shay from killing him, claiming that the Assassins were simply using him. However, Shay soon assassinated the defenseless Smith with his [[Hidden Blade]] from above. As Shay took the box, the dying Smith told him that the Assassins' victory was hollow, the greatest scientists of Europe having failed to activate the artifact.
