Polyphemus, 64 guns, under Captain William Pryce Cumby, 1771-1827, headed a squadron of troops and merchantmen to the West Indies, stopping at Madeira near the end of July. There he delayed a few days so that Madeira merchants could join the convoy. No doubt the silver would facilitate trade, and at 5 shillings an ounce would be worth nearly £4,500.
