HMS Scylla (1809)

HMS ''Scylla'' was an 18-gun ''Cruizer''-class brig-sloop of the Royal Navy. The first to bear the name ''Scylla'', she was launched in 1809 and broken up in 1846.
==Napoleonic Wars==
Commander Arthur Atchison commissioned ''Scylla'' in September 1809.〔 On the morning of 8 May 1811, ''Scylla'' was off the Isle of Bas when she observed a convoy of five vessels under the escort of a naval brig. After a chase of two hours, ''Scylla'' caught up with the convoy and opened fire. Being close to shore and with prospects of running on shore to evade capture, the brig resisted strongly. Finding himself among Les Triagos and Pontgalo rocks, and fearing that the French would be able to beach themselves, Atchison ran ''Scylla'' into the brig while travelling at eight knots. Within two minutes the British had captured the brig.
The brig was the ''Cannonière'', of ten 4-pounder guns, one 24-pounder carronade, and four swivel guns, and 77 men under the command of ''enseigne de vaiseau'' Jean Joseph Benoit Schilds. In the engagement the French lost Schilds and five of his men killed, and 11 men wounded; British casualties were two killed and two wounded. The convoy was two hours out of Perros, sailing towards Brest. ''Scylla'' also captured one vessel of the convoy, a sloop with a cargo of wheat. The other four vessels had gotten within the rocks and run themselves on shore. Wind and sea conditions were such that Atchison decided not to attempt to seize them.〔
Then on 4 June ''Scylla'' recaptured the ''Wellington'', and on 29 December captured the American schooner ''Fly''. The Royal Navy took ''Fly'' into service as HMS ''Sealark''.
''Scylla'' and captured the American
ship ''Manlius'' on 21 January 1812. Similarly, ''Scylla'' and were in company at the capture of the ''Jenny'' on 1 May. shared in the capture.
In August 1812 Commander Colin Macdonald replaced Atchison.
''Scylla'' shared in the capture on 22 March 1813 of the American schooner ''Tyger'' with , and . ''Tyger'', of 263 tons (bm), was armed with four guns and had a crew of 25 men. She was sailing from Bordeaux to New York with a cargo of brandy, wine, and silks.
One month later, on 23 April ''Scylla'' was in company with ''Whiting'' and ''Pheasant''. After a chase of over 100 miles, they captured the American 8-gun brig ''Fox'', which threw two of her guns overboard during the chase. ''Fox'' and her 29-man crew was underway from Bordeaux to Philadelphia.
''Scylla'' and ''Sealark'' were in company on 9 June when they recaptured the ''San Antonio y Animas''. ''Sealark'' was the former schooner ''Fly'' that ''Scylla'' had captured in 1811.
On 30 September the French frigate ''Weser'', under the command of ''captaine de vaisseau'' Cantzlaat, ''Chevalier de L'ordre Imperiale de la Reunion'', sailed from the Texel for the North Sea. There she captured two Swedish ships before a gale on the 16th took away her main and mizzen mast. Two days later ''Scylla'' encountered her 60 leagues west of Ushant, making her way towards Brest under jury main and mizzen masts. Rather than engage her and risk being crippled and so unable to follow her given the weather, Macdonald decided to follow her.
Fortuitously, on 20 October, , Commander J.J. Gordon Bremer, captain, arrived and Macdonald and Bremer decided to attack ''Weser''. They engaged her for about an hour and a half before they had to withdraw to repair their rigging. At about this time a third British vessel, the 74-gun third rate, , Captain Christopher Cole, came up. Bremer joined Cole and informed him of the situation while ''Scylla'' remained with ''Weser''.〔
The next morning, as ''Rippon'' and ''Royalist'' sailed towards ''Scylla'' to renew their attack, ''Weser'' sailed towards ''Rippon'' and struck, after first firing two broadsides towards ''Scylla''. ''Scylla'' suffered only two men wounded in the entire engagement. ''Royalist'' suffered more heavily, having two men killed and nine wounded. ''Weser'' lost four men killed and 15 wounded.〔
''Rippon'' took ''Weser''s crew onboard as prisoners and towed her into port. The Royal Navy took her into service as HMS ''Weser''.〔
On 23 November ''Scylla'' recaptured the ship ''Harmony''. ''Sealark'' and the cutter ''Surly'' were in sight. Macdonald received promotion to post captain on 7 June 1814. In June 1814, i.e., after Macdonald's promotion, Commander George B. Allen took command of ''Scylla''.〔
