In the meantime, "Hydra" had managed to isolate the French brig from her companions, and after a two-hour chase, captured "Furet". The French frigates did not come to their brig's aid, and after firing a "pro forma" broadside, "Furet" surrendered. "Furet" was armed with eighteen long 9-pounder guns, and had a crew of 130 men under the command of "lieutenant de vaisseau" Demay. She was provisioned for a cruise of five months. Under the rules of prize-money, "Moselle" shared in the proceeds of the capture of "Furet". During the next six months, Lamellerie's frigate squadron cruised the Atlantic, visiting Senegal, Cayenne and the West Indies, but failed significantly to disrupt British trade.
