Turning north, Jones headed for Nova Scotia and escaped another frigate on 20 September before his raid on Canso two days later. There he recruited men to fill the vacancies created by manning his prizes, burned a British fishing schooner, sank a second, and captured a third besides a shallop which he used as a tender. "Providence" took several more prizes fishing near Ile Madame before riding out a severe storm. The whaler "Portland" surrendered to her before she returned to Narragansett Bay on 8 October.
