[7][a] Proceeding to Table Bay to rendezvous with Popham’s force, Narcissus drove the French privateer Napoleon ashore near the Cape of Good Hope on 25 December 1805; some wreckage still exists at Olifantsbos Point.

On 4 March, Narcissus and HMS Raisonnable chased the French Navy frigate, Volontaire into Table Bay where she struck without firing a shot.

In July, Narcissus sailed for England loaded with captured Spanish silver and currency worth over one million dollars.

As a result of the damage she sustained in the collision, Santa Maria Magdalena subsequently was driven ashore and wrecked at the Ria de Vivero.

[14][15] On 25 November 1812 Narcissus was off Navassa Island where her boats captured the schooner Joseph and Mary, Captain William Wescott, of 139 tons (bm).

[17] Before her capture, Joseph and Mary had recaptured the American ship Piscataqua, which subsequently bilged, and a schooner that she sold in Haiti.

A Royal Navy boarding party of approximately 65 sailors and marines closed on Surveyor in small boats with muffled oars to conceal their approach.

[22] In tribute to the ferocity of Surveyor's resistance, Crerie returned Travis' sword to him and he was paroled at Washington, North Carolina on 7 August 1813; the remainder of the crew were transferred to a British prison camp in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

[22][23] On 13 July 1814 Narcissus captured Governor Shelby, Captain John H. Hall, was a letter of marque schooner of 184 tons (bm), built at Queen Anne's County, Maryland, in 1812 and commissioned on 11 December 1813.

[24][c] On 9 October 1814 Narcissus was contacted by HMS Dispatch, which requested support in taking the USRC Eagle, which had run aground in Long Island Sound.

Eagle retreated and was beached and her crew moved to the shore to direct musket fire against British barges attempting to attach tow cables to the wrecked hulk.
