 On the same day (19 May), the frigate joined Howes' fleet with news that a British squadron, under George Montagu, desperately needed reinforcements.The next day, after "Latona" and "Phaeton"s return, Howes' fleet set off to rendezvous with Montagu and on the morning of 21 May, encountered a former Dutch convoy, taken by the French two days previous.Howe's ships managed to recapture about half, but unable to spare the men, Howe had his prizes burned.
