[3] Blazer, Bustler, and Princess of Orange shared in the proceeds when their boats detained Eos and Amicitia on 28 August.

[5] On 1 June 1808 Bustler, under Welch's command, captured the French schooner Deux Guillaume and the boats Felix and Bien Venu.

[6] Capture: On 26 December 1808 Bustler was cruising off the north coast of France when she ran aground in thick weather.

Welch put Bustler's boats into the water to pull her off, but a shore battery started an accurate fire on her.

When the fire appeared to go out Nymphe attempted to return to Bustler, but luggers and gunboats could be seen approaching from Calais and Boulogne and the British gave up and sailed off.

The two British ships landed a small joint force of marines and seamen, who met no opposition as the French surrendered first.
