Cape Palos
The remainder of the squadron set out in search of other Algerian vessels while "Mashouda" was sent to Cartagena, Spain under guard of "Macedonian". Off Cape Palos, Spain, this remainder spotted 22-gun brig "Estido" and bent on sail to make contact. The wily enemy, however, ran into shoal waters where the heavier American frigates feared to go for danger of running aground.
