She returned on 26 September, having captured one vessel, which was possibly the 50-ton (bm) brig Mary, Thomas Mallowney, master.

Two days out of port Bunker Hill captured the 100-ton (bm) schooner Delaware, Thomas Butler, master.

[2] On 22 December Bunker Hill sailed into Grand Cul De Sac Bay, Saint Lucia at night.

Bunker Hill struck and the boats of Barrington's fleet took possession of her before any French vessel could intervene.

[3] Admiral Barrington renamed Bunker Hill Surprize in recognition of the manner of her capture.

[1] On 27 February 1781 Surprize and HMS Barbuda (Commander Francis Pender), which Admiral Lord Rodney had sent from St Eustatius, appeared at Demerara.

[7] Shortly before they arrived, six British privateers had raided Essequibo and Demerara, captured sixteen Dutch ships, and forced the de facto surrender of the colonies.
