''Anemone'' had left Toulon on 27 July and Malta on 26 August. ''Emerald'' and ''Seahorse'' chased ''Anemone'' inshore where she anchored in the shallow water, out of reach of the two British frigates. When the frigates despatched boats, ''Anemone'' cut her anchor cable and drifted on to the shore. While the Frenchmen were attempting to escape along the coast, unfriendly Arabs captured them and stripped them of their clothes, shooting those who resisted. The commander and seven others escaped naked to the beach where the British, who had swum ashore with lines and wooden casks, rescued them.〔 ''Anemone'' had a crew of 60 men under the command of ''enseigne de vaisseau'' Garibou,〔''Fonds Marine'', p. 210.〕 and was also carrying General Camin and Citoyen Valette, aide de camp to General Napoleon Buonaparte, with dispatches from Toulon, as well as some other passengers. Camin and Valette were among those the Arabs killed.〔 ''Seahorse'' arrived at Portsmouth in October 1799, and returned to the Mediterranean in May 1800 as the flagship of Rear-admiral Sir Richard Bickerton.〔 On 9 September 1801, ''Seahorse'' left Portsmouth, escorting a convoy bound for Bengal.
