Despite her moderate size of 89 feet on deck, she was fast and weatherly. She sailed with 85 men and carried twenty 6-pounders. She captured over a million dollars worth of British goods on her first cruise, establishing a reputation as a formidable vessel. The British ordered her captured at any cost. She was seized by the 44-gun \u003cem\u003eH.M.S. Assurance\u003c\/em\u003e in 1783, sent to England and taken into the Royal Navy.
