 Both ships were badly damaged in the collision but Pallas, drawing less water than Minerve, was able to free herself and take off, having spotted two forty-gun French frigates, Armide and Infatigable, approaching. Kingfisher, disobeyed her orders to keep offshore, and sailed in to take Pallas in tow, which had lost her jib-boom, spritsail and stunsail yards, main topsail yard and fore topmast. The damage to Minerve was relatively minor, she was later re-floated and taken to Rochefort for repair. The engagement on 14 May cost the lives of seven seamen aboard Minerve, with a further fourteen injured. The casualties aboard Pallas were light: one dead and five wounded. On 25 September 1806, Minerve, Armide, Gloire and Infatigable were captured by a heavily armed, six-ship squadron under Samuel Hood. Minerve surrendered to the 74-gun HMS Monarch. The French frigate Thémis and two French brigs managed to escape.
