British naval Captain Edward Pellew in Indefatigable captured her off the Île de Ré on 7 August 1798.
[1] She was armed with twenty long 8-pounders and 175 men, commanded by Lieutenant la Porte, and bound to Cayenne, carrying 25 banished priests, 27 convicts, and Madame Rovère and family.
[1] James draws attention to the fact that the British equipped her with more cannons, but fewer men, than the French had.
[1] Sans Quartier had a crew of 56 men and though she was pierced for 14 guns, she had thrown all overboard in an attempt to escape from Danae.
[4] On 25 December 1799 Danae, Sylph and the hired armed cutter Nimrod assisted Ethalion, which had hit some rocks.
[7] On 6 February 1800, Danae, with other vessels, captured the 42-gun frigate Pallas from Saint-Malo bound to Brest, off St Malo.
The captain of the foretop, William Jackson, attacked and threw the master, who was officer of the watch, down the main hatchway.
[12] The mutineers succeeded in securing the hatchways, preventing Proby, his officers, and the loyal seamen from coming up on deck.
[12] The following morning the mutineers reached Le Conquet in Finistère, where they met up with the French brig Colombe, which Danae had herself chased into the port.
[1] On the way the frigates Anson and Boadicea chased them briefly before breaking off after the mutineers falsely signaled that they were in pursuit of Colombe.
A court martial aboard Gladiator on 17 June 1800 honourably acquitted Proby, his officers and the loyal members of the crew of blame.
[15] On 12 June Indefatigable captured the French privateer Vengeur, which had sailed from Bordeaux two days previously for Brazil.
