[2] The Register of Shipping for 1824 shows Cyprus's master changing from Brown to Rand, and her owner from Proud to Briggs.

[3] Captain John Briggs brought Cyprus to Van Diemen's Land in 1825 and set himself up there as a general mercantile agent.

She then sailed to Île de France (Mauritius) under a license from the British East India Company.

[4][a] Lieutenant Governor George Arthur used Cyprus to carry convicts, troops, stores, and provisions to the penal colony at Macquarie Harbour.

She had on board 31 or 33 convicts; Lieutenant Carew and 10 men of the 63rd Regiment of Foot provided the guard.

Cyprus also carried Carew's wife and three other women and their two children, who were returning to Macquarie Harbour.

Swallow and three others worked their passage back to Britain aboard the East Indiaman Charles Grant.

However, a man the mutineers had left in Canton confessed and by chance his account reached Britain a week before Swallow and his last three companions arrived there.
