Jun-Jul 1812 in company with the Thrasher detained 3 merchant vessels : Le Nevev ? ; Vrew Anna ; and Yonge Amie : but prize money resulting from this couldn't be paid until 1 May 1835, when a dividend from the estate of the bankrupt agent Henry Abbott became available : no doubt one of the many fraudsters who ripped off matelots in those days : both officers and ratings being fair game. Names of ships are best guess due to poor print.
