On 11 August 1813  was off Lundy capturing vessels from the homeward bound Leeward Islands Fleet. Dochfour, Baillie, master, was able to escape by using a stratagem. Knowing that he had no chance of escaping, Baillie hoisted a naval ensign and steered towards Argus. Argus was more interested in commerce raiding than combat and sailed towards the other merchantmen. A few days later, on 14 August,  found Argus and captured her after a severe engagement. On 25 June 1823 Maria, Williams, master, from Jamaica, and Dochfour, Bailey, master, from Grenada, ran on shore in the River Avon, Bristol. Maria was stuck in the mud near the entrance to the Basin. However, Dochfour was further down the river and in a more dangerous situation. Both were got off that night on the next tide, Dochfour with the assistance of HM cutter . During a severe gale on 20 June 1835 at Quebec, Dochfour ran foul of Favorite. Both sustained some damage. Fate
