[1] On 25 August Rear-Admiral Dacres formed a small squadron under the command of Captain George Le Geyt of the 18-gun Stork.

Dacres ordered Le Geyt to bring out or destroy privateers based at Batabano in Cuba.

[2] The party landed on 2 September and crossed some two miles of marshy ground to storm a fort at Batabano.

[2] On 2 September Flying Fish, Stork, Superieure, and Pike destroyed two privateers, names unknown, on the Jamaica station.

[5] On 10 March 1807, Pike, still under Otley's command, was sailing from Jamaica to Curaçao when she encountered a French schooner that fired on her but then sheered off.

At daybreak on 18 March the larger French schooner caught up with Pike off Altavella (the eastern point of the island of Santo Domingo).

With his rigging in pieces, damage to his gaff and masts and yards, and the second French schooner approaching, Otley struck Pike's colours.

[9] The court martial board ruled that Otley could have better managed the encounter and warned him to be more circumspect in the future.

On 6 July 1809 Pike was one of the vessels that made up the blockade of the city of Santo Domingo and she, and Fleur-de-Mer, were present at its surrender.
