Commander George Dundas, deceived by a signal from "Hannibal", sent boats from to save "Hannibal"s crew. The French detained the boats and their crews, including "Calpe"s lieutenant, T. Sykes; after firing several broadsides at the enemy's shipping and batteries, "Calpe" returned to Gibraltar. The French and Spanish were unable to repair "Hannibal" quickly enough for her to take part in the eventual defeat of the Franco-Spanish squadron at the Second Battle of Algeciras several days later.
