During the next three days, the American flotilla and the British squadron maneuvered seeking to move into an advantageous position for a general engagement. On 10 August Julia and Growler were cut off from the flotilla after their commanders executed an incorrect turn and were captured. The British renamed the schooners Confiance and Hamilton respectively and incorporated them into their squadron for several weeks. As they were slow, they were re-purposed as troop transports. Chauncey recaptured them near False Ducks Islands on 5 October when he intercepted a convoy of seven troop transports. However, the schooners, having proven unstable in heavy seas, were soon retired from service.
