[1] However, Philip Henry Bridges was acting commander of Zebra from December 1815 to November 1816, when he was promoted into Challenger.

In May 1816, she arrived in Madras from Calcutta, and on 28 July 1816 she was at Simon's Bay where a terrible hurricane stranded and almost destroyed her and the frigate HMS Révolutionnaire.

On 8 February, near Scardamoula, they sighted a vessel that appeared to be their quarry, but were unable to catch it before it took refuge in a port.

The boats then left, having received a promise that Mavromicali would sail to Zante or Napoli di Romania the following morning.

[6] In the morning, Williams saw that the hills were ringed with armed men and when the British reminded Mavromicali of his agreement, the Governor made no reply.

Zebra operated out of Malta, protecting British trade in the Greek Archipelago, at Alexandria, and around the coasts of Syria and Caramania.

[9] Eventually Codrington — joined by more British vessels, together with a number of French and Russian ones — inflicted a massive defeat on the Ottoman fleet at the Battle of Navarino on 27 October.

Cotton died on board Zebra of a fever on 11 February 1828 and she came under the temporary command of her lieutenant, Wheatley.

Cotton was believed to have developed the fever as a consequence of his exertions on 31 January in rescuing the crew of Cambrian off Carabusa (Gramvousa) on Candia.

The squadron consisted of Cambrian, Pelican, Isis, Rattlesnake, Zebra, Cameleon and two French corvettes.

However, as the squadron left, Isis struck Cambrian, causing her to broadside the rocks in the narrow channel.

In September 1831, Zebra was at the Bay of Islands in response to a rumour that a French man-o-war was expected, with the suspected intention of annexing New Zealand.

[1] On 21 August 1835, Zebra was on her way from the Cocos (Keeling) Islands to the Swan River and 100 mi (160 km) west-south-west of Naturalite Bay when a strong squall threw the brig on its beam ends.

Fortunately a port swung open, allowing the immense amount of water covering the weather coamings to escape, enabling her to right herself.

The next day, M'Crea examined Long Island Sound, finding it a good anchorage and an alternative to Port Molle if the winds blew strong from the north.

The East India Company awarded him a plate worth 100 guineas as a measure of their appreciation for his efforts.

By 8 September, Zebra had sailed with Admiral Sir Robert Stopford's fleet from Alexandria, which arrived at Beirut three days later.

[19] On 26 September 1840, Zebra joined Benbow and the sixth rate Carysfort to cover an attack on Tortosa.

[e] On 2 December 1840, a heavy gale drove Zebra ashore off Mount Carmel near Haifa and wrecked her.
