On 14 August 1812 Admiral Sir John Borlase Warren, sailed to Halifax, Nova Scotia, on San Domingo}, together with Poictiers, Sophie, Magnet, and Mackerel. Magnet disappeared during the voyage and was presumed foundered with all hands.
On 17 January 1813 San Domingo captured the American privateer schooner Teazer.[3]
Arab, of seven guns and 45 men, was run aground and boarded by two boats from Marlborough.[4]
Lynx, of six guns and 40 men, hauled down her colours when Borlase went alongside her in San Domingo's pinnace.[4]
Racer, of six guns and 38 men, was boarded and carried, after a sharp, resistance, by the San Domingo's pinnace.[4]
Dolphin, of 12 guns and 98 men surrendered after Racer's guns were turned on her. Dolphin resisted for two hours but then was boarded by men from Statira's large cutter and Maidstone's launch.[4]
The British lost two men killed and 11 wounded. The Americans lost six killed and 10 wounded.[4]
The British took three of the schooners into service. The Chesapeake schooner Lynx became Mosquidobit. Of the three Baltimore schooners, the Racer became Shelburne; Dolphin retained her name; lastly, it is not clear what became of Arab.
