Ten days later, "Apollo"s boats chased a felucca into St Cataldo that had troops aboard. The privateer was a felucca, armed with one 4-pounder gun and a swivel gun. A felucca of 12 guns and two more gunboats joined the defenders. They were popular with Greek pirates in the Aegean and resembled the felucca. On 31 May 1805, off Cape Nicola Mole, "Heureux" captured the French felucca privateer "Desiree". At the same time, "Speedy" engaged the felucca and the surviving gunboats, which then fled. "Apollo"s boats brought out the felucca. On 9 March 1809, "Argo"s boats cut out the French navy felucca "Joseph". Initially, many were exfiltrated by felucca down the French and Spanish coasts to Gibraltar. The men from the felucca then killed 11 more crewmen. Accounts differ as to whether more men came over from the felucca. "Africaine" captured the Spanish felucca "Paloma". There they cut out a large armed felucca, which was flying His Catholic Majesty's colours. After Harrison returned, the men from the felucca demanded all the money on board. She arrived by felucca on 1 September 1942.
