[1] On 2 November HMS Adder grounded on Romney Flats, about three miles east of Dungeness Light.

[2] She did not break up and on 14 November Captain Bolton of HMS Aimable sent Biter and the bomb Vesuvius to Romney Roads to attempt to salvage Adder.

[3] Biter shared with HMS Autumn and the gun-brigs Manly and Pincher, in the salvage money for George which they retook in February 1805.

It was believed that George had been sailing from Bristol to London when a French privateer had captured her and taken her into Boulogne, where her cargo was landed.

[4] Biter was part of the squadron under the command of Captain Honyman in HMS Leda that on 24 April captured seven armed schuyts in an action within pistol-shot of the shore batteries on Cap Gris Nez.
