Hi,
Came across this link www.danbyrnes.au/blackheath/thebc37.htm there are other "episodes" by the same guy telling of a capt John ruthven who took capt Bligh's (as in mutiny on the bounty fame) son as a gunner on his ship the hms link - there's also something about him destroying a load of french ships and awaiting further instructions - but i can't remember where I saw that - don't know if the dates tie in - but I hope this helps
Regards
