Convict Revolt on the Albemarle (1791)
Berrow's Worcester Journal. Thursday, July 14, 1791
FONCHAL BAY, MADEIRA.
Extract of a Letter from Lieut. Robert Parry Young, Agent to Transports, dated on board the Albemarle Transport, April 25, 1791.
"On the 9th inst. the convicts rose upon us, with intention to massacre the Officers and Soldiers, and then take the vessel to America. Fortunately, however, they were repulsed and driven to take refuge in the hold, and in their prison room. Some of them were wounded. In the search after the ringleaders, we admitted one of them King's evidence, and he confessed the circumstances of the whole design. After they were subdued, it was unanimously agreed by the officers, myself, and the crew, that it was expedient to hang up the two ringleaders at the yardarm, which was accordingly put in execution. I imagine this punishment will deter them from any future attempt, since they have continued still, and apparently reconciled to their fate. There were no ships in sight at the time they rose. One of the ringleaders was an American. Two of the crew who were accomplices in the insurrection I have set on shore here, not considering it safe to proceed with such treacherous villains on board the ship. We are one and all armed day and night, and keep the most vigilant look-out over the convicts; six of whom have died since our departure from England. - Tomorrow we sail for St.Jago, the place of general rendezvous; there we shall stay a few days, and then then take our departure for South Wales."

HMS Entreprenante
The Entreprenante was a cutter of the type used for communications and carrying dispatches, being lightly built and armed only with eight 4 pounder guns. Her role at Trafalgar was to lie to windward of the British fleet and render assistance if needed, since she was incapable of taking part in the fighting. Entreprenante therefore assisted in tasks such as rescuing survivors, and closed the battle to assist in the rescue of the crew of the burning French Achille (74 guns), when she picked up 150 men from the sea. Her commander, Lieutenant Young, came from the Isle of Man, and died at Exeter in 1846 where he had retired from the Royal Navy.
