Away from the schooner Castor, the schooner Atlante sighted two privateer whalers on 3 April. After hunting them down on the 4th, she sighted the entire fleet, which now included three privateer whalers that outgunned her.
The situation was reversed, with the English now hunting the Atlante. On 7 April, the battle began and after five hours of fighting, the Castor & Pollux surrendered.
The Atlante now set off in pursuit of the Britannia, which it overtook and surrendered.
The Charming Ketty escaped.
