The Roger's 4th prize was a brig with rum and sugar from Jamaica bound for England.
The 5th capture took place in August was the Contract, a schooner with salt which was sent to North Carolina.
The 6th was in December, the ship L'Aimable, from Havana to England under a Spanish flag but with British property aboard.
Its 7th and last prize was the Windsor Castle, a packet from Falmouth to Halifax with two long 9-pounders and eight short guns, 9 passengers and a crew of 32. It was sent to Norfolk.
At one point, the Roger also engaged the HMS Highflyer.
