Bowers's letter of marque describes Active as a brig of 100 tons (bm), not a sloop of 165.

[6] On 16 March 1794 Iphigenia captured both Actif and Espiegle in the West Indies.

However, already by 4 June she was on active service with the Royal Navy, participating in the capture of Port-au-Prince.

[9] Harvey was sailing Actif to England when by 24 November she developed leaks while off Bermuda.

Even with the crew working the pumps continuously, she took on so much water as her structure weakened that on the 26th she had to make distress signals.
