On 17 October 1807 the British brig Superieure encountered the French schooner privateer Jopo L'Oeil about 120 leagues east of Barbados.

The sanguinary engagement between the two vessels lasted an hour and a quarter, with Captain John Buller of Superieure being killed instantly by a musket ball to the head while attempting to board the privateer early in the fight.

Lieutenant John G. Bird took command and continued the fight until the privateer surrendered.

[4] On 3 February 1808 Dominica had an inconclusive engagement with the French privateer Victor, of 18 guns.
