Sir Peter Denis , 1st Baronet Admiral Sir Peter Denis , 1st Baronet ( 1713 – 11 June 1778 ) was an English naval officer and Member of Parliament . Life .

He was a midshipman in HMS " Centurion " under the command of Commodore George Anson at the start of his famous circumnavigation ( 1740 – 1744 ) . He was promoted to lieutenant in 1739 . On 5 November 1741 , in the South Seas , he was sent in command of 16 men in a cutter to pursue a Spanish vessel . He boarded and carried his prize , which proved to be bound from Guayaquil to Callao . The cargo was of little value to its captors , but intelligence derived from the capture led to the attack on the town of Paita a few days afterwards . By 1745 Denis had been promoted to command and given the 26 - gun sixth rate . Soon afterwards he was transferred to temporary command of , during which time he captured a French privateer and recaptured two British merchantmen . By 1747 Denis was back in the 50 - gun " Centurion " as her captain , commanding her at the Battle of Cape Finisterre , where he once more served under Anson , now an admiral . When the enemy was sighted , Anson signalled a general chase as he expected the French to evade action if possible until they could escape under cover of darkness ; " Centurion " was swiftest into action , engaging the rearmost French ship and occupying her and two larger enemy ships until the main body of the British fleet could come up . After the battle Denis was entrusted with bringing back to England the news of Anson ' s victory ; as the public acclaim that followed won Anson a peerage , this may well have further endeared Denis to Anson .

He held the seat for fourteen years , throughout which time the other MP was another naval officer , Sir Charles Saunders , who later rose to become First Lord of the Admiralty .

At the decisive victory of Quiberon Bay in 1759 , he was captain of the 70 - gun .

He died in 1778 , having reached the rank of Vice - Admiral of the Red .
