The noise alarmed the officers who arming themselves rushed the insurgents, who headed for the hatchways, several of them being wounded, although the officers and men were unhurt. They secured the prisoners and brought the vessel into port. From an item in the London Courier and Evening Gazette - Tuesday 20 October 1801

[Some sources suggest that this vessel was paid off in 1800, however the subsequent movements and the fact that her commanding officer remained the same would suggest that she remained in the service until at least Oct 1801, when along with most of the hired vessels she was probably paid off by about Xmas 1801 as directed by Their Lordships to the Flag Officer, Plymouth.]
