He underwent torpedo instruction in 1871, was promoted to master on 12 July 1871[5] or in 1872[4] (sources vary), and served aboard the screw frigate {{USS|Wabash|1855|6}} in the European Squadron from 1871 to 1872.[5][4][4] From 1873 to 1877, Mason served in the North Atlantic Squadron, first aboard the monitor {{USS|Manhattan|1863|6}} in 1873, then aboard the gunboat {{USS|Kansas|1863|6}} from 1874 to 1875, the monitor {{USS|Catskill|1862|6}} from 1875 to 1876, and the screw sloop-of-war {{USS|Ossipee|1861|6}} from 1876 to 1877, and he was promoted to lieutenant on 8 November 1874. He was aboard the receiving ship {{USS|St. Louis|1828|6}} at League Island in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from 1878 to 1880 and participated in the stormy and very difficult 27 March-20 May 1880 voyage of the sailing sloop-of-war {{USS|Constellation|1854|6}} to Ireland to transport relief supplies in the wake of the 1879 famine there.

Mason then returned to the Bureau of Ordnance for duty from November 1892 to June 1893, followed by a tour as Inspector of Ordnance, overseeing the Naval Ordnance Proving Grounds at Indian Head, Maryland, from June 1893 to 1896. He was promoted to lieutenant commander on 10 November 1896.[6][4][9] In November 1896, Mason reported to the new armored cruiser {{USS|Brooklyn|CA-3|6}}, in time for her commissioning on 1 December 1896, and saw action aboard her off Cuba during the Spanish–American War in 1898, including the Battle of Santiago de Cuba on 3 July 1898. Leaving Brooklyn in February 1899, he was the Inspector of Ordnance at League Island Navy Yard in Philadelphia from February to October 1899, then served as Inspector of Ordnance at the Naval Torpedo Station at Newport, Rhode Island, beginning on 6 October 1899. He was promoted to commander on 2 November 1899.[6][4][10] Mason{{'}}s tour at the torpedo station ended in July 1902,[3] and on 16 September 1902 he became commanding officer of the protected cruiser {{USS|Cincinnati|C-7|6}} in the North Atlantic Fleet.[11] During his tour, Cincinnati took the place of a battleship in the battleline during drills, then steamed across the Mediterranean Sea to transfer to the Asiatic Squadron, where she became part of a cruiser squadron.[3] Mason left Cincinnati in April 1904 and on 1 August 1904 began a lengthy tour as Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance[12] which lasted until 31 May 1911,[13] During the tour je was promoted to captain on 30 September 1904[14] and to rear admiral on 12 November 1908.
