Captain Dyvarow- HMS Cornwall, 20 ('Postillionen' Frigate)
Captain Lazzurs - HMS Iron Wolf, 20 ('Postillionen' Frigate)

Rendevouz off St. John's. Proceeded to patrol the northern Antilles and engage large enemy trade and spice convoys.

Took, sank or burned a total of 9 French escort vessels and 10 French merchant vessels. The squadron practised sailing in line formation during these engagements and succeeded admirably. Captain Lazzurs executed a bold maneuver in which he sailed his frigate in between the badly damaged Surprise and an enemy vessel in order to give the Admiral time and space to disengage.

All in all, the squadron fought bravely and once again we damaged France's position in the Antilles.

Also, sank a Dutch convoy of six sail.
