On 6 June the Conde de Morona, retiring with his division of the Galician army from Pontevedra to San Payo, requested boats to carry his troops across the river at that place, the bridge having broken down. CADMUS sailed up the river with the Portuguese schooner CURIOSA, the Spanish schooner of war TIGRE and as many small boats as could be collected. Soon after the Spanish troops had been taken across the French arrived on the bank and the two sides exchanged fire. - 1811 Thos. FIFE, 11/1809, coast of Spain.
Early on the morning of 4 May 1810 the boats of CADMUS joined those of ARMIDE, MONKEY and DARING in an attack on a French convoy at the Ile de Re off La Rochelle. The convoy was protected by two armed luggers and by batteries on shore. Seventeen were taken but the wind and tide prevented them being brought out so thirteen were burnt and the rest beached. The only British casualties were from ARMIDE. - 1814 Watkin EVANS, 12/1813, Downs.
