Seven days later, "Endymion" captured the French corvette , of eighteen 12-pounder guns and 200 men, in the Atlantic after a chase of eight hours. "Bacchante", under the command of "lieutenant de vaisseau" Kerimel was returning to Brest after a three-month voyage to Santo Domingo. Kerimel's attempts to escape resulted in "Bacchante" losing eight men killed and nine wounded; her return fire caused no casualties on "Endymion". Captain Charles Paget described "Bacchante" as a "remarkably fine Ship, of large Dimensions, quite New, and sails very fast." The Royal Navy took her into service as HMS "Bacchante".
