He was discharged in April 1799, and in January 1801 joined the ship Achille, Captain George Murray, as a midshipman. He followed Murray into the Edgar, seeing action at the battle of Copenhagen on 2 April 1801, and subsequently into London, until transferred in May 1802 to Leander, Captain James Oughton, for a short time.
