- 1805 Charles BERNARDING, Jamaica.
- On 21 April 1805 Capt. DASHWOOD of BACCHANTE ordered SANDWICH and the NASSAU schooner to cruise from New providence in search of privateers.
- On 6 May, about 25 miles W. S. W. of the West Caicos, they captured the French schooner RENOMMEE which was armed with one long 9-pounders and two six-pounders. She carried 56 men. The following day they took two more schooners, RENCONTRE (2) and VENUS (1) with 77 men between them. They could have continued the cruise for a longer period but were forced to return because of the large number of prisoners they were carrying.
