[1] Vengeance was an American letter of marquee schooner of 180 tons and a 15-man crew that had been sailing from New York to Bordeaux with a cargo of cotton, coffee, sugar and indigo.

She was closely followed by Hunter, Judathau Upton, master, an American privateer schooner that Phoebe had also captured.

[4] On 12 August 1813 she captured the American schooner Ellen & Emeline after a chase of 44 hours that brought the vessels to within 10 miles of Santander.

Ellen & Emeline carried a cargo of silk for New York and was armed with a single 12-pounder gun on a pivot.

[5] Then on 23 August Telegraph detained and sent in the American schooner Allen & Adelaide, Booth, master, also from Nantes.

On 12 September Telegraph cut out of Bordeaux four small French vessels: Ten days later she sailed with a convoy of transports for St. Sebastian.

[b] Flibustier had been in St Jean de Luz sheltering where shore batteries could protect her when she sought to escape because of the approach of Wellington's army.

[12] Scriven believed that Flibustier was bound for Santona to relieve the garrison there as her cargo consisted of treasure, arms, ammunition, and salt provisions.

[13] As a reward for his success Scriven received a promotion to Commander and Telegraph was re-rated as a sloop of war.

[17] Then on 10 March she captured the French dogger (or galliot) North Star from Île de Ré, of 80 tons and five men, also bound for Nantes.

[19] On 16 November 1814, Telegraph's and Spencer's boats ran the famous American privateer Syren ashore under Cape May, where her crew destroyed her.

Another had taken place on 12 July 1814 when Syren captured the Royal Navy's 4-gun schooner Landrail after a fight of 40 minutes with casualties on both sides.

[26]) The court martial (on 28 January 1817), attributed the loss to short cables and insufficiently heavy anchors.

[26] On 31 December 1818 Parliament voted a grant to be distributed to all the vessels that had served under Admiral Lord Viscount Kieth in 1813 and 1814.
