"Stationed off Haiti was the British frigate HMS Southampton under Captain Sir James Lucas Yeo, tasked with observing the political situation but with orders not to interfere in the intermittent conflict between Christophe and P\u00E9tion. Yeo's orders did not include Borgella's ships and Yeo reasoned that the Haitian flagship, the large frigate Heureuse R\u00E9union (recently renamed from Am\u00E9thyste and often reported under its former name), presented a serious threat to international trade in the region. Sailing to intercept the Haitian ship, Yeo discovered her in the Gulf of L\u00E9ogane and ordered Gaspard to surrender. The Haitian refused, and the frigates exchanged shots at 06:30. The superior seamanship and discipline on Southampton prevented Gaspard from boarding the British ship with his greater numbers and within half an hour Heureuse R\u00E9union was dismasted and battered. At 07:45 the Haitian ship surrendered, Yeo depositing the crew ashore and bringing Heureuse R\u00E9union to Port Royal, Jamaica. At Jamaica, his actions were approved by his superiors and Heureuse R\u00E9union, renamed Am\u00E9thyste, was returned to Henri Christophe."@en . . "Gulf of L\u00E9ogane, Haiti"@en . .
