I missed this bit of information on the Sappho.
On July 17, 1813, the Sappho recaptured the Eliza, which had been captured three days earlier by the American privateer Saucy Jack. It took the Eliza to Jamaica.
This is the privateer that was wrecked at St. Marys by the September 17, 1813 hurricane that did so much damage.
The Sappho also captured the Sisters near Totugas.
